Crew Chief Shuffle:

“With the late-season swaps under way, its not just drivers changing teams. Sammy Johns is moving with Ken Schrader to the Tom Beard-owned Pontiac, and Michael McSwain is reportedly heading to Robert Yates team with Ricky Rudd for the 2000 season. With Ray Evernham likely leaving as Jeff Gordons crew chief, another opening will be created. Unlike the current trend of drivers changing cars in midseason, these changes should not happen until after this season is completed”( Times-Dispatch )
