UPDATE 2: Cal Wells is considering a shakeup in his slumping McDonald’s #97 BGN Ford team. Scott Pruett, who runs Well’s Ride Cup #32 Ford, may run the car for the rest of 2000. Current BGN driver, Anthony Lazzaro, failed to make the BGN race at Lowes. Pruett may take over that car next week at Dover.(PitNow)
UPDATE: Anthony Lazzaro has been dismissed from Cal Wells’ #97 McDonald’s BGN Ford. Wells entered NASCAR this season with a Winston Cup effort for Scott Pruett and the McDonald’s Busch Series group for Lazzaro – both stock-car rookies. The plan had been to move Lazzaro, and McDonald’s, up to Cup next year. Officially, no decisions have been made, but team sources confirmed that Lazzaro was out. Team members say the plan is for Pruett to drive the McDonald’s car in companion events(SpeedVision)(5-27-2000)
