There are lots of rumors flying around about the #00 team and Ryan McGlynn was reached today to comment on some of them:
* The new sponsor is solid. Its a done deal Ryan was quoted as saying. We do not want to release any of the details until the sponsor has everything in place. They are waiting for the right timing to coincide with the best effectiveness for speed weeks.
* The team is listed as number 200 right now but that may change. The new sponsor would like to have a number that is firm for every race, not one that needs to be changed if a similar number shows up (as happened last season.)
* The race shops move to Charlotte was delayed because the real estate transaction fell through. It was pulled out from under us by the seller said Ryan. He plans to take his time and find the perfect property over the next season, and the move to Charlotte is still definitely planned.
* Derrike Cope will be driving a McGlynn Cup Car at Daytona! No ifs, ands or buts, Derrike is driving the car and attempting to qualify for the Daytona 500. The car make and number will be released later.(McGlynn Racing site), however the team didn’t test at Daytona.(1-18-2006)
