Target has the Indy Series cars still don't they?



ETA: I guess they pulled it from all of Ganassi.

NASCAR is not the audience Target wants.


If that's the case than Wal-Mart would be the series sponser.

I know it was Xfinity Series today but Gibbs needs to put Ryan Preece in a car full time. Two races this year and he has a first and second to show for it.

Kyle Benjamin is a good one as well.

I don't think Danica is going anywhere unless she wants to or sponsorship dries up which I don't think is happening


It's happening now. If I recall, she's not fully sponsored this year.

She's fully sponsored. They are using her sponsors on other Stewart Hass teams

Just saw on the pre-race he scraped up every bit of money he could get and bought two races with Gibbs. So WTF does he do now?

Go run Modifieds and stay in contact. That guy finished second to Kyle Busch at New Hampshire. No reason he should not be in a solid ride.

Bye Bye Kurt.

quote:

Kurt Busch has been informed his option won't be picked up at Stewart-Haas Racing after this season, according to multiple reports. Busch, who won the season-opening Daytona 500 and is 14th in the NASCAR Cup standings, will not return to the team next season, according to reports by NBC Sports and Motorsport.com.

SHR tweeted to the contrary, but it's not like we haven't seen this dance before with Kurt.

This might be the craziest silly season I can remember. Put Kurt in the 5 if Hendrick parts ways with Kahne?

Kurt Busch to the 77. Let him finish his career with the team that resurrected his.

I think Kenseth will land with either SHR or maybe Hendrick

Not unless they get rid of Kahne (which could very well happen) and put him in the 5 car, which is probably what you mean. Owners can only run four full time teams.

I think Kenseth with SHR makes perfect sense. Their performance level is not consistent enough for 4 teams. If Danica or Kurt get the Ax, Kenseth would be logical to take over their seat.

For a while in the 80s and 90s the 21 was red white and blue with CITGO as the sponsor

I think they had a 7-11 car that was primarily blue and white as well



They had a red and black car in the early 2000's with Ricky Rudd driving it.

Kurt doesnt really fit in with HMS. Kenseth is a perfect fit.

But Hendrick, like everyone else, is having sponsor issues.

NASCAR has a huge problem and its only going to get worse with the lack of sponsors

Like Blaney to the 12.

Ty has more raw talent than Austin.

frick Kenseth

Kahne is a career underachiever.

Flipper will be back, Carlos Slim gave him a dump truck full of money to step aside for Suarez.

I think Kurt stays with a renegotiated contact.

Team Roush is getting better.

Someone will pick Danica up.

Erik Jones is going to be a superstar.

Bubba Wallace is a solid talent and deserves a ride over the likes of several drivers on the circuit.

Raise the air dam, lower the spoiler and you'll see better racing.

On top of all of the driver changes, the announcement today reducing the number of starts that full time cup drivers can start in Xfinity and truck series is going to cause KBM to shutdown.
