#41 Car owner Larry Hedrick hopes to know within several weeks whether a potential sponsor will sign, allowing his Winston Cup team to return for 2001. Hedrick’s 2000 season turned sour when a deal with Big Daddy’s BBQ didn’t pan out as expected. Driver Rick Mast left the team to join A.J. Foyt’s operation at Texas for the seventh race of the season.(Winston Cup Scene)(12-7-2000)
