de Bidart Angry About Wallace’ Plans: Kenny Wallace says that he and sponsor Stacker2 are on their way to Bill Davis Racing and the Winston Cup circuit in 2003, and Innovative Motorsports owner George de Bidart is not happy about it. Stacker2 officials have told de Bidart the company will return, reportedly with a different product, to his team next year for a second Busch Series season. He’ also on the lookout for a veteran driver to replace Wallace next year. Still, the Winston Cup program hed been planning wont come to fruition, and when de Bidart and Wallace spoke by telephone July 18, the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based team owner expressed his profound displeasure with the turn of events. Despite their differences, de Bidart vows to keep Wallace in his car through the end of the year because of his commitment to Stacker2 and the effort theyve put into promoting the driver. Likewise, Wallace not only insists his team wont fall into a lame-duck funk, but he guarantees a win with de Bidart before the end of the year.(Winston Cup Scene – need subscription to read online)(8-1-2002)
