Denny will do all he can to get Reddick out from under Childress next year. That's what I get out of that line.

Yeah. I don’t know how contracts in NASCAR work but I wonder if there is any buyout clauses in the contracts. Make Hamlin pay a buyout.

Congratulations to @KyleBusch and @RCRracing.This is a great opportunity for both parties to team up and win races for years to come. Thank you Kyle for being such a great teammate for the last 15 years. Good luck on the next chapter of your career. The timing could not be better

He's going after Reddick.

Jeremy Clements Racing won its appeal of an L2-level penalty levied by NASCAR officials following the No. 51 Chevrolet’s victory last month at Daytona International Speedway, the National Motorsports Appeals Panel decided Tuesday.

Clements wheeled the vehicle to victory in the Xfinity Series race, but the win was soon determined ineligible to count for the Xfinity Series Playoffs. The No. 51 was found in violation of Sections 14.6.12K&U of the NASCAR Rule Book, which pertains to the intake manifold. Additionally, crew chief Mark Setzer was initially fined $60,000 and the team was assessed the loss of 75 owner points, 75 driver points and 10 playoff points should it still qualify for the postseason.

Those penalties are now wiped clean and Clements’ win will count toward qualifying for the postseason.

Other NASCAR news, Rick Ware Racing, Jeremy Clements, and the No. 51 Xfinity Series team won their appeal from the Daytona penalties.

ETA: Speedy beat me to it.

Some of these fines they have been doling out for years are ridiculous. Xfinity teams don't have massive budgets for the most part so $60k is big money to them.

Hell, Carl Long still can't race in Nascar as I recall as he couldn't afford the Nascar fine after his engine was found less than 1 cubic inch too big.

Brandon Jones is heading to Jr's 9 car next year. Everyone is leaving Gibbs.

Does this begin the downfall of the once great empire? I know they'll have Ty and Bell. Truex will retire soon. Denny won't be long after. Right now I don't see anyone worthy of the 19 car once Truex retires.

I was thinking this before I saw your post.

Think about Rousch and RCR. Both used to be dominant.

Thats a reference to RCR tweeting "the timing could not be worse" when Reddick to 23XI was announced

I don't disagree

I'm saying they really don't have anyone worthy of the 19 by end of 2023. When Truex is gone they don't have a surefire replacement.

True, but they will probably lose the Menards sponsorship that has been on that car.

Fast forward to the end of 2023.

11 - Hamlin
18 - Gibbs
20 - Bell

Who would you give the 19 too? Jones may have been that guy by default. Here are the current Cup drivers who MAY be worthy of that 19 ride that don't already have commitments beyond 2023.

Alex Bowman
Corey Lajoie

That's it. Do you give John Hunter Nemechek the 19? No other Cup drivers beyond those guys are worthy. And calling those two worthy is a stretch.

Gibbs is in a difficult spot. Just because more than likely they'll have to pony up to steal someone, or rush a younger driver up before they're ready.

I would love to see how Lajoie would do in good equipment

I think we all would. Tracks where the driver makes the difference, he typically runs better than that 7 car is capable of. I thought Lajoie had a shot at the 42 before they hired Gragson.
