Buckshot Jones may be out, and Compton may be in? Buckshot rumor strongly denied. Andretti rumored to #25 now. Andretti seems unlikely to move, as he has loyalty to the Petty's.

Harvick and Green signed. Kenseth will stay at Roush till 2002, then leave. Hearing Mayfield may be talking to Childress now, though. Musgrave was originally to drive the 31 car after Skinner was injured, but couldn't due to a contract with Dodge, may be under consideration from RCR. Childress to pay the big bucks and get Stewart from Gibbs? Seems crazy
