Car owner Joe Gibbs is interviewing potential new crew chiefs to run his planned third Winston Cup team, and rivals are reminded that General Manager Jimmy Makar pulled big surprises when hiring Greg Zipadelli and Michael McSwain. It is unclear yet if Tommy Baldwin might be on Gibbs’ list.( Winston Salem Journal )(10-18-2003) UPDATE: Joe Gibbs’ proposed third Winston Cup team caught many rivals by surprise, and it’s still taking form. In 2004, it would run a limited schedule, possibly run by General Manager Jimmy Makar for a while, until a new crew chief is hired for a full-time run in 2005. J.J. Yeley, a sprint star, is a top candidate to drive.( Winston Salem Journal )(10-19-2003)
