Well, Kurt Busch got a ride today. With Phoenix Racing. They use Hendrick Motorsports cars and engines. I wonder how long before he starts ripping crew members because it isn't fun, it's business.

Re: NASCAR News

I'm wondering if we should start a pool to see which Busch gets Knocked TFO by one of their own crew members first..........

Lets see, Lipp. Jimmy Spencer got Kurt a long time ago and Childress got Kyle last year, but no crew members got a punch in - YET.

Re: NASCAR News

A story, on ESPN, (on my phone), said that Finch said if he had embarrassed him like he did owner Roger Penske and team members this past year, "he would have gotten his *** beat on pit road".

I bet he don't get a interview, from Jerry Punch! BUT, "if" he gets the car up front, they will have to give him some t.v. time.

Time will tell !!!

Re: NASCAR News

What car # are they? Who did he replace?

I heard too that 'Dinger will be driving the #22 next year...... I believe now they need a driver for the #43. Reutimann????

Car 51 replacing Landon Cassill. Figures they'd kick the Iowa boy to the curb.

Re: NASCAR News

Looks like Ragan for the 43.

I am reading conflicting quotes from Finch, some say he won't take any crap, and another saying he'd get down and roll in the mud with Kurt if that's what he has to do . . .

Thanks. I can't remember, was he a start and park?

So much for Ragan and the #22. It appeared to be a done deal. We'll see if he lands with the #43. 'Dinger's deal was done in the last few days. Basically came out of nowhere...

No. They are 30th in points and Cassil was rookie of the year (unopposed). He actually did really well. They did well on plate tracks, so Daytona could be interesting. Boris Said drove Sonoma and Watkins Glen. Hendrick equipment.

Re: NASCAR News

I guess I just didn't pay much attention to him. Rookie of the year, now he's looking for a ride too. That's the thing about plate tracks, it evens the field. Anyone is capable of winning. That's where smaller teams can rise to the top. Silly season has been more like crazy season..........

I'd say Penkse did the right thing by not signing Ragan. A driver with 1 win after 4 seasons in Rousch equipment probably isn't going to see victory lane much of anywhere else. Sorry if there are any David Ragan fans out there, but he's well on his way to Kyle Petty like career stats.

I agree. 'Dinger was a great choice. My bro isn't too happy since he's a RPM fan and liked 'Dinger...........
