Gordon said that he and Nead parted amicably. When asked what he was looking for in a crew chief, the Cup owner/driver answered simply, “I don’t know.” This weekend he plans to use either a car chief or team engineer in that role. He is currently looking for a crew chief, though. “Yes, I’m looking,” he said. “Gene and myself just have differences in philosophy on how things need to be operated.” He added that Peter Sospenzo, who was one of the crew chiefs eliminated by Ginn Racing when two of the companies teams ceased to exist earlier this year, is someone that is high on the list of potential replacements.(SceneDaily.com)(9-21-2007)
