New Cup Team? UPDATE: from the USA Today – Phoenix Suns(NBA) forward Rodney Rogers has a need for speed that he hopes to satisfy by becoming a team owner on the NASCAR circuit. Rogers and Barry Dodson, crew chief(and part owner) of the #27-Eel River racing team owned by Jack Birmingham, are seeking sponsors to field a team for next season. Rogers said he needs roughly $15 million to field a team.(USA Today), seems odd as Dodson is already looking for sponsorship for the #27 team, let alone a new team, unless Rogers is going to buy into the #27 team(3-26-2001) UPDATE: from a Kenny Wallace chat on the Kenny Wallace Site: “My father, Russ called me and told me about the deal. I laughed so hard because all that amounts to is Rodney, a great friend of Barry’s and all it was about is saying he would like a WC team. There is no truth to it and Barry is surprised as much as everyone else. I think one day it would be cool to have Rodney involved with WC because we don’t get enough athletes involved in WC(3-28-2001)
