#75 News: Darwin Oordt, owner of the #75 Ford which has not raced in 2001 says, ”Right now we’re at a standstill,” in reference to his search for a sponsor for his idle #75 Winston Cup car. For the first time, Oordt admitted he may not make it in NASCAR’s big league. ”We’re looking at all of our options,” he said. ”Butch Mock [from whom Oordt bought the team two years ago] may get back in it. Oordt said recently printed reports that he might team up with driver Geoffrey Bodine were inaccurate. ”Geoffrey and I talked, as I’ve talked with a lot of people, but that’s all there was to it,” he said. Oordt hoped to put together a deal to get his car back on track by the third race at Las Vegas, but that also failed to develop. His aim now is to find a sponsor for the second half of the season and return to the circuit at the July Daytona Pepsi 400. So far, nothing has turned up.(in part from the Tennessean)(4-6-2001)
