New Cope Crew Chief? UPDATE Looks like Jim Long is the man heading the list to replace Doug Hewitt as crew chief for Derrike Cope in 1999. Long started the 1998 season working for Ricky Rudd and finished it with the Stavola Brothers. Hewitt left Bahari Racing to become Kyle Petty’s new crew chief( MRN Radio’s Marty Snider’s Two Cents’ Worth )(11-20-98) — I hear Long will not be the crew chief and an announcement is expected soon pertaining the sponsor and new crew chief(11-24-98) (11-24-1998)
