Finch switching to Chevrolet; will have 2 teams
BROOKLYN, Mich. - Phoenix Racing owner James Finch said Friday at Michigan International Speedway that he will run two full-time Busch Series teams in 2007 and the team will switch from Dodge to Chevrolet.
Mike Wallace will drive one of the cars, with a sponsor to be announced in October, Finch said. That car will be No. 7. Wallace replaced Jason Keller in Phoenix's No. 1 earlier this year and has three top-10 finishes in 13 races in 2006.
The driver of Finch's other car, the No. 1, is to be determined. One candidate is Cale Gale, a shock specialist for the team. Gale drove the No. 1 in two Busch races this year and is in the car this weekend. Gale won an ARCA race for the team at Gateway International Raceway last month.
"It's according to how he does," Finch said.
Finch said Dodge doesn't currently offer any support for his team.
"I swapped from Chevrolet to Dodge several years ago and never have been happy with it," Finch said.
