GLANVILLE MAY JOIN RACING TEAM
Atlanta Falcons coach Jerry Glanville is negotiating to become part owner of a new NASCAR team put together over the weekend by Felix Sabates and Kyle Petty.Glanville "wants to buy part of the team," Sabates said. "He'll be here Wednesday, so we'll see."
Glanville was on a trip to Houston and could not be reached for comment.
Sabates, who owns the Winston Cup team Petty drives for, has committed to buy the Busch Grand National race cars of Team III, whose owner Sam McMahon III is facing bankruptcy proceedings in Charlotte, N.C., with his father, Sam McMahon Jr.
Glanville had been negotiating to drive in races with Team III beginning March 1 at Rockingham, N.C. Now his negotiations are with Sabates over a possible partnership in the new team, Sabates said.
Sabates has sold part ownership to Petty, a Winston Cup driver. They are committed to running the full 31-race Grand National schedule with Kenny Wallace driving.
