Official Postponement:

In an announcement sent to Speedwords this morning Kurt Ritter, Chevrolet marketing general manager at General Motors announced they would not bring the 2000 Monte Carlo to NASCAR in 1999. Ritter’s statement says that with the newest revisions requested by NASCAR the teams believe the new Monte Carlo would be uncompetitive on the track. Because of this and the fact the teams would have to jeopardize their current efforts to produce the new Monte Carlo so the new version has been postponed.
