Petree close to sponsor? #33/55 team owner Andy Petree may have a good lead on a sponsor to keep his second team up and running, and insiders say his negotiations with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones may be key. Petree said only “I have no news to report.” Petree brought only the #55 team here; driver Mike Wallace wanted Petree to let him run Hamilton’s backup car [as the #33] in the 400 [Las Vegas], but Petree declined. Jones says he wants to own a Winston Cup team; Petree has been reluctant to sell.(Winston Salem Journal)(3-2-2002)
