Yep, think Bell may be headed to the 95 next year with the JGR alliance.


That's the only explanation for this. They need to bring back the Furniture Row team with Matt. Dude has outperformed all other unknown underfunded teams for as long as I can remember and you're gonna let him get kicked to the curb?

That's bad for NASCAR

Also seemed like Hamlin took a shot at Leavine family racing in his post race interview for letting DiBenedetto go.


Somebody needs to

It was awesome to see Hamlin spend so much time talking about DiBenedetto after the race and really going to bat for him.

Newman sucks. He’s a washed up, mostly never was.

Matt D needs to boot somebody out of a ride. Personally, I’d like to see Austin Dillon out of a ride but that’ll never happen. Put him in the 17 and see what happens.

Matt in the #3 would be nice. Although it's not really near the same car it was. You're right though, that ride is Dillon's until he retires.

Would love to see DiBenedetto in the 17 but believe Fastenal will go wherever Stenhouse goes. Roush won’t want to lose the sponsor.

Maybe the 6 if Newman retires. Can’t really think of any rides that will be open this offseason although a few always open up.

Wish the sport wasn’t in such a financially fragile state. Too many drivers aren’t getting the opportunity because funding won’t work out for them.

Don't know why he would take a shot at LFR. He needs to look at his own boss for that decision. LFR is a satellite Gibbs team.

Joe made that call along with TRD to make the decision. LFR may be the owners on paper, but it's really another JGR team. LFR knew that was going to be the case when switching from Chevy to Toyota last year.

If they didn't pull Matty D, they knew TRD and JGR would just pull the funding and support away from them and shift it to someone else to bring Bell up.
