#26-Bobby Hamilton Jr. is taking a “wait-and-see” tact concerning his return to Carroll Racing next season, and admits that he’s looking at different options for 2002. Owner Dave Carroll had landed sponsorship for Blaise Alexander to run the full Busch Series schedule next year. But after the driver’s fatal accident in an Oct. 4 ARCA event at Charlotte, there’s been no word on what happens with the sponsorship.(Winston Cup Scene – need sub to read)(10-25-2001) UPDATE: ….although he wouldnt discuss his plans for next year, Hamilton Jr does have two deals in the works. One thing is certain, he will not be returning to the No. 26 in 2002.(NASCAR.com)(11-10-2001)
