• WITH TITLE CHASE OVER, EARNHARDT'S OUT EARLY car makes in the series - Chevrolet, Ford and Pontiac - will have a standard length of 193 inches in 1995. As of now, the Fords are about 2 inches longer than the GM cars. And earlier this year, after much complaining from the Pontiac teams, the Pontiacs were given about 5 inches, making them about as long as the Chevys. The new rule appears to be designed to help the GM cars in general, and the Pontiacs in particular. As Pontiac driver Kyle Petty told Speedway Scene's Jack Flowers: ``It'll take all the whining out of us.'' NO WORD FROM GIBBS: Joe Gibbs, car owner of the No. 18 Chevrolet Lumina, said Sunday that he had no news on driver Dale Jarrett's request to be released from his contract to drive the No. 28 Ford Thunderbird owned by Robert Yates. ``I'd say I'll know something within a week,'' Gibbs said.
