EVERNHAM'S NEXT ALL STAR? 19-YEAR-OLD CASEY AT THE BAT

          Nineteen-year-old "racing phenom" Casey Atwood signed a
     deal yesterday to drive for Ray Evernham's new Dodge Winston
     Cup team beginning next season, according to Larry Woody of
     the Nashville TENNESSEAN, who writes the deal "potentially
     could make [Atwood] the richest professional athlete ever to
     come out of Nashville."  Atwood, who possesses a
     "combination of talent and charisma," will continue to race
     in the Busch Grand National Series this season (Nashville
     TENNESSEAN, 5/26).  Meanwhile, Dodge Motorsports' Winston
     Cup merchandise, including clothing, flags, key chains,
     magnets, license plates and decals, went on sale yesterday. 
     The merchandise is being sold at Winston Cup events and
     online, and will soon be sold in NASCAR retail stores and at
     Dodge dealerships throughout the U.S. (REUTERS, 5/25).
