Spencer in trouble? Kyle Petty is waiting on John Andretti’s decision whether he will return to Petty Enterprises next year. It’s possible Andretti, along with Bobby Hamilton and Jerry Nadeau, are both waiting to see if anything happens with Jimmy Spencer’s job at Chip Ganassi Racing. Spencer, who’s struggled all year, apparently needs a couple strong finishes in the next few weeks to keep his job. Because of that, several drivers seem content with waiting it out. Hamilton said he’s not in any hurry to find work in 2003. He’s already tendered his resignation at Andy Petree Racing, effective at the end of the year. Petree hasn’t found a replacement, and he’s probably waiting to see who’s available if and when Ganassi makes the next move.(Augusta Chronicle)(9-16-2002)
