RICHMOND, Va. -- Junie Donlavey is searching for a sponsor for 2002.

Sara Lee, parent company of Hills Brothers, sponsor of Donlavey's No. 90 Ford since 2000, will not return as the primary sponsor of the No. 90 Donlavey Racing NASCAR Winston Cup Series team in 2002.

The company also said that it intends to "continue racing" with team manager Philippe Lopez, driver Hut Stricklin, fueling speculation that both could move to another team with Hills Brothers.

Stricklin is 40th in points with one top-10 finish in 19 starts.
