Atwood Safe? There have been reports that Nashville rookie Casey Atwood [#19 Dodge] might be replaced by former Nashville Speedway driver Jeremy Mayfield next season, but Atwood’s father, Terry, says he has been assured by team owner Ray Evernham that that will not happen. Evernham has dismissed the reports, but admitted that Mayfield would be an attractive driver. Mayfield is expected to make an announcement about his 2002 plans within the next two weeks.(Tennessean)(10-22-2001)
