The unliklihood of any Winston Cup practice on Saturday prompted Hendrick Motorsports to send two of its teams’ backup cars back to Charlotte. The backup cars the teams of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson taken to Rockingham this week are the primary cars both teams expect to use next weekend at Las Vegas. Bad weather canceled Saturday’s final Cup practices, so Hendrick team officials decided to load up Gordon and Johnson’s backup cars and take them back to team headquarters for final preparations for next weekend’s race.( ThatsRacin.com )(2-22-2003)
