The hot commodity in the Cup garage this week appears to be Wally Dallenbach. First off, you can look for an announcement sometime mid-week stating that Wally will drive the Tabasco Pontiac for four races starting next week at Pocono. Also this week, Wally will be at Indy for Hendrick Motorsports on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday testing a Hendrick R&D Chevrolet. Then on Thursday he will start a two-day test session for the Tabasco team also at the Brickyard. Now should that Tabasco four race deal fall through for some reason Wally has an offer on the table from Hendrick for a two-race deal at Indy and Watkins Glen. Hendrick management was very pleased with his performance in the Bud car while Rick Craven was recovering from post-concussion syndrome and would like to give him a few more shots in one of their cars this year. The groundwork for a potential fourth Hendrick team in 1999 is there.(Marty – MRN Net)
