Jeff Kirk, Tommy Baldwin to Leave Donlavey Team After 1998

#90 Heilig-Meyers Team manager Jeff Kirk and crew chief Tommy Baldwin will leave the Junie Donlavey/Dick Trickle team after this season because of commitments (family and otherwise) in the Charlotte(NC) area. The Donlavey team is based in Richmond, Va. Team members also wonder whether sponsor Heilig-Meyers will return, although no word has come from the company. Donlavey, returning from heart surgery in the spring, says he intends to continue the way he always has.( SpeedNet/Ben Blake ) (08-30-1998)
