Jerry Jones with Andy Petree? UPDATE: I am hearing Sports Illustrated is reporting that Andy Petree and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones are talking about a possible partnership of partial ownership and sponsorship for the #33 car of Joe Nemechek. According to the story, Jones wants partial ownership and Richard Childress, with who he has also had discussions, is not willing to do that. Petree and Jones have begun discussions along those lines(haven’t seen it or seen it online)(8-13-2001) UPDATE: One man suddenly mentioned as such a potential partner is Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Jones has been negotiating with Richard Childress for a NASCAR team deal for the past six months. “I have not talked with Jerry Jones, but I would like to talk to him, I really would,” Petree said. “If the deal isn’t going to happen with Childress, I’d like to talk to Jerry. There really isn’t a story there yet. We’re still trying to get Square D signed (renewing sponsorship for the Bobby Hamilton team), and hopefully that will happen by the end of the month. But we’re not seeing the movement out there we’d like to see with our other team (Joe Nemechek).”(Winston Salem Journal)(8-15-2001)
