UPDATE: #32-Tide Chevrolet car owner Cal Wells denies a published report driver Ricky CravenÃÂÃÂs job is in jeopardy. “I donÃÂÃÂt know where it came from” said Wells prior to the start of SundayÃÂÃÂs Pocono 500. Wells added, “Despite the pathetic performance weÃÂÃÂve had so far this year I think weÃÂÃÂve got a reasonable shot at getting a program (second team) for next year. WeÃÂÃÂve been looking around a lot, so maybe thatÃÂÃÂs part of it, I donÃÂÃÂt know. ItÃÂÃÂs a chemistry thing and we havenÃÂÃÂt hit it.” Craven is in the first of a new three year contract with the Tide team.(PRN’s Garage Pass Radio Show/Sporting News)(6-13-2004)
