more Rudd and Ganassi: Add the Target/Ganassi team to possible landing sites for ironman Ricky Rudd, who reportedly wants $2 million a year–more than his current owner, Robert Yates, is willing to pay. Target owner Chip Ganassi, who’s employing drivers Sterling Marlin and Jimmy Spencer this season, wouldn’t rule out adding a third car. It’s also possible Rudd could replace Spencer, who’s 23rd in the points list. “I guess that possibility does exist,” Ganassi said when asked about hiring Rudd. “From top to bottom, everything about our organization is about performance, and that includes drivers.” There also has been speculation Rudd might wind up at Dale Earnhardt Inc.(Chicago Sun Times)(7-24-2002)
