DEI #1 Team Down to two Choices for Crew Chief: Ty Norris, the manager at Dale Earnhardt Inc., says he’s down to two men for the post of crew chief for Steve Park’s team. “We’ve got two guys we’re comfortable with. I’ve very pleased with the interest people have shown in this position,” Norris said. “It shows the team hasn’t lost any of its luster.” Norris says he may or may not hire one of the two within the next few weeks. “We know that Steve Hmiel and Dave Charpentier and the guys can handle the job the rest of the year,” Norris says. “We just need someone to come in and get started on 2003.” Tommy Baldwin is one man under consideration for the job. Frankie Stoddard is another crew chief working the marketplace. Jimmy Elledge [#55 team] is another crew chief who is on various wish-lists.(Winston Salem Journal)(9-16-2002)
