[TennesseeFan07]

No, my first day of having to work on Summer vacation. It could have been any day between late May and early August except tomorrow.

Possible suitors;

Ginn says it's not them...

Gibbs says it's not them...

Childress is off in New Zealand hunting...

Hendrick had no comment...

opcorn:

 

[TennesseeAtlanta24gordon]

Junior to Hendrick officialy!

 

[TennesseeFan07]

What is Richard Childress thinking?

 

[tidwell]

What is Richard Childress thinking?

Probably something like, "How can I get Biffle or Ky. Busch to drive for me?"

 

[orange+white=heaven]

What is Richard Childress thinking?

Yeah, I guess a bunch die cast collectors with hopes of adding a new "3" car to the collection just lost out...

(If this is all true, of course) it will be interesting to see how the sponsorship plays out. Budweiser with Kelloggs? I'd imagine Budweiser would want to remain on the car at all times where as Kelloggs sometimes takes a back seat to CarQuest as the primary sponsor at some races.

 

[orange+white=heaven]

Beer and Rice Krispies...perfect match

 

[tidwell]

Marty Smith saying that Mears would move to the #5 team and Jr. would slot into the #25 team.

 

[orange+white=heaven]

Jeff and Jr. 24 and 25
I simply never conceived of such a thing...

 

[tidwell]

Also, back when Budweiser was with Hendrick, it was always on the #25 car.

Yeah, that's a good point

 

[TennesseeAtlanta24gordon]

That is an eeire coincidence. Ricky Craven drove that car didn't he?

 

[tidwell]

Ricky Craven, Wally Dallenbach, Ken Schrader, and Randy LaJoie for a few races.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I didn't know Randy drove it.

 

[doozer]

if Junior wants a championship, he better find a better car to drive than the 25.

 

[doozer]

Probably something like, "How can I get Biffle or Ky. Busch to drive for me?"

i'm pretty sure Biff announced Sunday during the rain delay he was in fact signed with Roush for 08.

 

[tidwell]

Randy filled in for Craven when he was injured or something, I think.

I just know he drove it for a few races.

Whatever the outcome is with the sponsor, you know it's going to be major bucks!

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Yep, combine that with Jeff and Jimmie and HMS has a LARGE amount of money to use.

Marty Smith saying that Mears would move to the #5 team and Jr. would slot into the #25 team.

it's being reported here in CLT that he'll be in the #5 car.......no word on sponsors yet, i don't think, but if Bud comes w/him, i'd expect Kellogs to be on another hood.

 

[odbowles]

Just an FYI Nascar.com is going to have a live feed for all of you that are stuck at work like me.

 

[tidwell]

It's official.

He's gonna steal Gordons thunder. Gordon is God.
