2009 Silly Season

[Paul Strickland Jr]

Figured it's about time to start the infamous 'Silly Season' Thread. This is just some stuff I want to see happen, may happen, or just kinda sounded good at the time haha:


Keselowski to the #5
Martin to 4th RCR team
Stewart to HAAS
Mears to 3rd Red Bull Team
Newman to HAAS
Darian Grubb to Crew Cheif for #24
Logano to #20
Ambrose to 2nd Robby Gordon team

I realistically think that Martin Truex Jr will end up in the 5, and Mears at DEI.

I think that RCR should make serious moves for Smoke, though that may not happen till the 2010 season.

Martin, at this stage in his career, isn't going anywhere else, I don't think...

I think that Ambrose will have a full time cup ride next year. (Especially after today) I'd say that Ganassi would best be served putting him in the 41.

Keselowski will stay in the Nationwide Series for at least one more season, as well as Logano. Logano is 20 bound though, and Stewart is elsewhere bound, I think.

Stewart at HAAS... UGH! Dear god Smoke, is ownership worth living 1 or more laps down? Richard Childress, if you can hear me, PICK UP MY BOY!

yall are funny...first of all

Red Bull doesnt need sponsorships...they have enough money

The 26 will become a Yates team...how quickly yall forget

Newsflash..Wimmer is the #33 driver..unless smoke becomes availible

Did yall forget the #23 of Bill Davis? or that Todd Bodine wants back in Cup?

Also...Ambrose better get a Cup ride...if not the team owners are morons!

Team Red Bull wants to open a third team with non-Red Bull sponsorship. They said it doesn't make sense for them to run three Red Bull cars on the track.

I think the 26 will become a Yates team, but Crown Royal and Irwin want to stay with Roush. Hopefully Yates will pick up some sponsorship.

Todd Bodine needs to stick with Trucks. I don't think a 35th-place Cup team is going to do his career any good.
