Wally Dallenbach is to be fitted for the seat of one of Pennzoil’s IRL Indy-cars today and is expected to run Bruton Smith’s IRL race at Texas Motor Speedway in September. Dallenbach may also be the next Winston Cup driver for Tabasco, one of NASCAR’s newest sponsors but a sponsor that has seen its cars make only half the tour’s races this season. Dallenbach, on the sidelines this weekend, could be in the Tabasco car by Pocono, according to sources close to Dallenbach. Gary Bradberry finished 40th in the Tabasco car yesterday, losing an engine after 118 laps. Will Tabasco eventually move to the Richard Childress camp, the Rick Hendrick camp, or the Jack Roush camp? Dallenbach, who drove three races for Hendrick last month, has been under consideration for a ride with Childress, according to sources close to the situation, but Childress yesterday said he wasn’t free to discuss that report.(JournalNow)
