Wally Dallenbach said that his plans are now unclear. But he is seen as one of the front-runners for the Tide-sponsored ride with new car owner Cal Wells. According to one top car owner, Wells has opened his wallet in an effort to get his new operation off the ground and is offering as much as $2.5 million to land the right Cup driver. Steve Grissom is reported to be on Wells’ list of potential drivers for his new McDonald’s sponsored Busch team, which is to be promoted to a full Cup team in 2001( PitNow ). Jayski Note: other rumors have Al Unser, Jr, whose CART/Penske contract runs out this year, as a possible driver for Well’s Cup deal, but most think he’ll stay in CART or go to the IRL and no matter what happens drive in the 2000 Indy 500
