Owners Points, Creww Chief, Owner and Hideo Fukuyama: Owners Points? Will This Be A Start-Up Team As Far As Owner Points Or Will You Be Able To Claim The 26? No, its from the 26. Who Will Be The Crew Chief? (of the #54): “Derrick Finley, who has been the engineer for us the last four or five years, has taken that role as crew chief. We really havent made an official announcement about that, but we have now. Can You Address The Hideo Fukuyama Situation Or The 66 Car? Im expecting to have a meeting in San Francisco with them next week about that, but, right now, its a little premature to predict what will happen. Not to detract from what were doing here, but dealing with that group is a little different. You kind of talk with them and expect certain things, and then you might not hear from them for four weeks and then they might just show up at your place the next day ready to do business. They take a different approach than we do. Would Carl [part owner Carl Haas] Be Involved In That? No, Carl wouldnt be involved in that either. Carl is gonna take a hiatus for a year or two from Winston Cup, it looks like. Ive got to be honest with you, Carl doesnt want to forego his involvement in Winston Cup forever.”( Ford Racing )(1-15-2003)
