Kranefuss/Robinson Waitng: Michael Kranefuss said Aug. 13 he expected to receive word within the next two to three weeks from Tropicana regarding its sponsorship of Shawna Robinson for the 2002 season. Tropicana sponsored Robinson at Chicagoland and Indianapolis, but the team failed to qualify for both events. Kranefuss said there was a possibility the team would compete in the BGN rather than Winston Cup. After failing to qualify for the Aug. 5 Brickyard 400, Robinson said she knew she needed more seat time and it was essential for her to race every week(Winston Cup Scene – need sub to read)(8-16-2001)
