Rumors have Wells talking with a couple of veteran NASCAR drivers, with one being Sterling Marlin, about taking over the McDonald’s ride in 2001. Wells also is looking for more help in preparing the cars, so he might be interested in someone like veteran crew chief Tony Glover, a longtime buddy of Marlin’s(in part from CBS Sportsline)(5-31-2000) UPDATE: Sterling Marlin intends to remain with the #40 team working with new owner Chip Ganassi in 2001.
