Update on Beam: Mike Beam will be the crew chief of Cal Wells III’ #32-Ford through the end of this year. After the season Beam will step aside and turn over the lead wrench duties to Team Engineer Roy McCauley. Beam is looking for something a little easier on the travel schedule with Wells operation. The reports of Beam being a spotter for the team were twisted somewhat, in that Beam spotted for driver Ricky Craven last week, but it was because the team’ regular spotter couldnt make the trip to Atlanta. Considering the speed associated with the track Beam did the job rather than risk Craven’ safety on a beginner in the spotters stand.(Ford Racing)(11-2-2002)
