Bill Davis Racing
Team owner Bill Davis insisted on Saturday that he has not sold his organization as published reports indicated.
That doesn’t mean he won’t.
The owner of Bill Davis Racing said several parties have expressed an interest in purchasing his company that includes two Nextel Cup cars driven by Dave Blaney and Jeremy Mayfield, who will be replaced by Formula One star Jacques Villeneuve next season.
“Like any team our size, we have to be realistic and look at all of our options with what’s going on in the sport right now, “ he said before practice at Martinsville Speedway.
“We’ve had a lot of interest, a lot of very interested people, and a lot of things that are for real. We just have to do our due diligence and make a smart, logical choice. “
Davis denied a published report that Villeneuve and his business manager, Craig Pollock, already have purchased his organization. David Newton, ESPN.com
Bill Davis sees all that is going on around him in Nextel Cup racing and is not ashamed to say that his operation needs help.
So he has hung out the “For Sale” shingle at Bill Davis Racing.
Part of it? All of it? Even Davis doesn’t seem to be sure yet. But he’s willing to listen to all offers, and indeed is in the process of doing precisely that.
“Like any team our size, we have to be realistic and look at all of our options with what’s going on in the sport right now, “ Davis said Saturday at Martinsville Speedway.
He said he also wanted to dispute an Internet report that already had him selling part or all of his operation to Jacques Villeneuve, the former Formula 1 champion whom Davis hired as a driver recently. Villeneuve, in turn, indicated that he is not interested in owning BDR—but didn’t rule out the fact that his business manager, Craig Pollock, might have some interest. Joe Menzer, NASCAR.COM
