Pontiac dropping out? With Joe Gibbs’ two headliner Pontiac teams [#18 and #20] set to switch to Chevrolets next season, perhaps even sooner, GM executives are worried that they won’t be able to fill enough Pontiac slots to keep that division in this sport. Unless there are five solid teams under contract to run Pontiacs next season, GM is expected to pull the plug on that brand, according to Detroit sources. And at the moment only three teams appear in the Pontiac camp and there are questions surrounding the #14 A. J. Foyt operation.(Winston Salem Journal)(7-7-2002)
