Donlavey still looking for sponsor, hopes to return: Junie Donlavey still is hunting for sponsorship for his #90 Ford for next season and doesn’t anticipate making a full-time return to Winston Cup this season. The 78-year-old team owner said he also would like to step away from the day-to-day operations in the future. “The ideal situation would be to be involved not in the mainstream of it but kind of on the edge,” Donlavey said. “I’d like a way to have time to talk to everybody and have someone else run it. That would be the perfect situation.” Donlavey’s team likely won’t be on the entry list for its hometown race, Saturday’s Monte Carlo 400 at Richmond International Raceway. Without a regular driver since Rick Mast fell ill in May, Donlavey is leery about trying to make the RIR race with a fresh face.(Richmond Times Dispatch)(9-3-2002)
