Home Depot leaving? UPDATE:

Home Depot, negotiating to re-up with Joe Gibbs’ #20 Tony Stewart team, may not come back, and if it doesn’t, MBNA could return to a full time Cup sponsorship(it used to sponsor the #22 Ward Burton/Bill Davis car). MBNA currently sponsors the #18 BGN Gibbs car in the BGN that Jason Leffler drives. Team reps, however, feel Home Depot will return to the #20 Cup car. If so MBNA may look elsewhere for a full Cup sponsorship(SpeedVision)(5-28-2000) UPDATE: Gibbs and Home Depot executives are negotiating an extension of their sponsorship contract for the Tony Stewart team(PitNow)(5-29-2000)
