Tim Fedewa to Stay in the #12
Fedawa back in the #12 in 2005: FitzBradshaw Racing co-owner Armando From Jayski's: Fitz told Sirius Speedway (MRN Radio//Sirius Satellite Radio) host Dave Moody Tuesday that Tim Fedewa will return to the team’s #12 Supercuts/Hot Tamales Dodge next season, with a new, third sponsor to be announced soon. “I’m giving you a bit of a scoop here, but Tim will definitely be back next season,” said Fitz. “Supercuts and Hot Tamales have both increased their support for 2005, and we’ll have a new sponsor to announce very soon.” Fitz also confirmed that sponsorship is in place for he and co-owner Terry Bradshaw to field a third Busch Series Dodge on a full-time basis next year, with a driver to be named later.(10-27-2004)
So Casey Atwood gets fired from Fitz-Bradshaw effective immediately when he was 13th in points but Tim Fedewa is re-signed for 2005 when he's 19th in points? Unbelievable! I never like to see drivers lose their rides but what has Fedewa done lately that's so amazing?
As for Atwood I don't get why Fitz-Bradshaw took the time to bring in Flip Flippin or whatever his name was to work with Atwood if they were going to fire him before the end of the season. That's the kind of thing to do with a driver that you want to have a long-term investment in because you believe that they have a future. Maybe that was just for the sake of the NBS 24/7 cameras. I thought Atwood was showing some improvement too. Sadly, since this isn't the first ride that hasn't worked out too well for Atwood I fear that no one else will be willing to take a chance on him which would be a shame.
