well, a few shoes have already dropped with Blaney going to the 3rd Penske car and Menard buying the 21 seat for 18. Gonna be hard to get used to the Wood Brothers 21 being highlighter yellow. As for Blaney, he and Larson are pretty much my drivers. Hate to see him go to Penske even though I think he will have a better chance at wins.

I dont think the win at Indy will be enough for Kahne to keep his ride in the 5.

Does RCR replace Menard in the 27, or do they shut that team down. Smart money would say that the other Dillon brother gets the ride.

What about Danica, does she keep her ride even though she doesnt deserve it?

Where does Kenseth land? Does he get a ride next year?

What are you guys thoughts?

I still can't get over that clown show ending at the Brickyard last week.

Don't think RCR will have sponsorship. Unless he can pull in Kenneth or maybe Danica to ride around and wreck.

I think Kenseth will land with either SHR or maybe Hendrick. However, an open car in RCR could be a option. I also believe Bubba Wallace deserves a full time ride. As far as Blaney, I think that is a good fit for him and by fit, I mean driving for Penske. However, I can't stand his two new teammates and hopes he out performs both.

Danica will have a ride... NASCAR will make sure that happens

Kahne needs to finish well in the playoff to keep the ride... could see Kenseth getting his spot

Ty gets the RCR nod

Semi-crazy idea: JR Motorsports fields a cup team with Kahne... he's already worked with them in Xfinity

CGR is losing Target. Does this make them up the ante to keep Larson in the fold if RHM tries to put him in the #5? Does it maybe push Larson to RHM? I have no doubt Larson will be able to get a sponsor on board wherever he ends up, but the Target sponsorship was basically CGR's safety net if he left. I don't see anyway he doesn't get everything thrown at him to stay because finding a driver with a sponsor already or ready to jump on board is incredibly difficult.

I have only read the OP but supposedly Ty's deal with Germaine is for multiple years but that doesn't mean the cantnget him out of it especially with the alliance


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


Kenseth will get a ride

Isn't every week the same in Nascar?

Bye Bye Kurt.

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 is kind of a surprise

Hendrick is giving up the #5

William Byron will drive the 24 next year and Chase is switching numbers to the 9

RPM has named Bubba Wallace as the full time driver for the 43 in 2018. I'm glad to hear it.

Danica Patrick is also retiring at the end of this year but will race in next years Daytona and Indy 500's.

Nascar losing quite a few well known names the last few years.
