Evernham and F1: NASCAR team owner [#9 and #19, part owner #7] Ray Evernham wants an exchange of information with his Formula One counterparts. “I’m a fan of the technology, the cars and the speed, the way they do things,” said Evernham, who owns the Dodge that Bill Elliott drove to victory in the Brickyard 400 last month. “Hopefully, we’ll make our Winston Cup team better.” Evernham visited the track [Indy where F1 is running thie weekend] Friday and met with McLaren-Mercedes about the possibility of sharing some of the technology. “We’re going to invite them down,” he said. “They look at us and understand that we’re really, really pressed on rules. So they look at a high level of technology in a different arena. As we start to exchange information, there are things they can learn from us.”(Daytona Beach News Journal/AP), also it was reported on Speed Channel’s Trackside [great show] that Rick Hendrick was also at Indy for the F1 race and talking to some F1 teams.(9-28-2002)
