Yes, it's good for him, but would be better if he signed on to one of the other small Ford teams that have been somewhat competitive. There are plenty in Cup right now.

Perhaps, but does he have some deals to race some NW races, too. Seat time in a Cup car and running NW/trucks the same weekend is good no matter what, IMO.

Charlotte Observer confirms that Bobby Labonte will return to JTG-Daugherty as expected. Announcement Saturday. Kingsford and friends will be back to sponsor. Only think not known at this point is which team they will be aligned with...but I have to wonder if it could be anything other than a Toyota, Waltrip or otherwise. Why? Toyota Racing's official Twitter had a Tweet about a contest where fans would win a grilling experience with Labonte and JTG-Daugherty in March 2012 (Las Vegas, I think). Would be an odd promotion if Labonte's in a Chevrolet, you might think.
Winfield Motorsports...bah...you can all read Jayksi's...I'm too busy laughing. |

The NNS schedule is out now.... http://www.jayski.com/nationwide/201...deschedule.htm You guys will be very happy to see what track is set for August 18
Also, looks like Kyle Busch is bringing his personal motorsports team (KBM) to Nationwide, in addition to running it again in Trucks. |

Oh jeez.....remember Kevin Conway? He says he's going to run a full 2012 schedule in Cup. No word yet on which team, but I'm thinking it will be for Joe Nemechek's second car, the #97. It's going to mean nothing if he can't make the races, because we all know how slow he is.

What has now been suggested on Jayski is that the truck series will run at Road America on the same weekend as the NNS. Excellent if true.

So, Mark Martin is moving to the #00 next year for a partial basis. The article isn't clear...is Reutimann out, or splitting the seat with Martin? Waltrip is also running the restrictor plate races, but also in the 00 or a part time ride? Hmm.....

Train Wreck Alert!
The situation at MWR appears to be heading on a predictable downward spiral. It looks like they will only be running two full programmes next year, the #15 for Bowyer and the #56 for Truex Jr. Poor David Reutimann, whose only crime is to be ten years too old, loses his seat to thrusting young charger.... Mark Martin! Except it looks like Michael Waltrip takes the #00 seat for the plate races, unless he runs those as the #55, and even then, the #00 may not run all 36 races.
How many races will the entire MWR corps win next year? I predict none, and serve them, and particularly Clint Bowyer, right too! Last edited by Clive Brown; 2 Nov 2011 at 15:18. Reason: Poor grammar |

Austin Dillon part time Cup 2012, full time 2013? Jayski just implied something:

I reckon that Austin Dillon's part-time Cup programme for 2012 will be exactly as successful as the bim's at Stewart-Haas is likely to be....

Red Bull, I know they're gone next year, so why field a Cup ride for Whitt? Are they planning something with him regardless next year?

Now that is silly
Whitt maybe, but surely no intelligence.... Make the rest of the jokes up for yourselves! Last edited by Clive Brown; 3 Nov 2011 at 19:38. Reason: Not funny enough. |

Now just heard that Reutimann will not return to MWR. Those Aaron's commercials, annoying or not, will never be the same. Mark Martin to drive the #00 for 30 races, Waltrip probably doing the RP tracks, I wonder who takes the other two races.

So now Mark Martin has gone to MWR, and I still can't see quite how this deal makes sense for anyone, it looks like Superbim's Cup ride at Stewart-Haas will only be a part-time team, as MM had been slated to run the events that she didn't.

Speaking of "her" that ride will use the #10.

Totally shafted. Look at this, cause there were little sponsorship issues. They basically wanted Reutimann gone.

maybe the combination of Martin and Bowyer cost too much to afford Reutimann aswell?
