#19-Jeremy Mayfield has been expected to leave Evernham Motorsports, but he has signed a contract renewal and sent it to Evernham. ‘It’s signed. My half. Let’s see if he’ll sign his half,’ Mayfield said. Mayfield is also figured to be under consideration by Richard Childress. However, complicating the Evernham issue is the possibility Dodge executives could reshuffle their NASCAR sponsorships, cutting some teams back to a single deal. Expected to land a full Dodge deal, however, is car owner Jim Smith — crew chief Tommy Baldwin says he’ll need to know the team’s sponsorship situation within the next 30 days or prepare to move on.( Winston Salem Journal )(9-6-2003)
