Matt Kenseth doesn't expect to race for Joe Gibbs next season

JGR likely would replace Kenseth in its No. 20 Cup car with Erik Jones, whom JGR allowed to sign a one-year Cup contract with JGR affiliate Furniture Row Racing for 2017.

If I were E. Jones I would rather stay at Furniture Row than go to JGR.

Kenseth will be somewhere next season, if he wants to drive.

Oh absolutely. I'm surprised honestly. I believe he's won 14 races for JGR. Finished 2nd in points his first year

I can't JGR if they want to give Jones a shot. Regardless, there will be rides open for Kenseth at Furniture Row, Stewart-Haas, and Hendrick.

I think everyone is speculating about Kenseth going to HMS next year but man, if I were him, I'd seriously think about going to Furniture Row replacing Erik (If he go to JGR) with the way Truex is running the past two years.

I remember when furniture row first started and had nemechek and Kenny Wallace and barely made races and now competing for championships.

FR is basically JGR

All it takes for these small teams to align with elite teams. SHR pairing with Hendrick (now Roush-Yates), Wood Bros with Penske, or FR with Gibbs.

Man I hope bubba finds a ride. He did a great job in that 43 car. It's been an honor and a privilege to watch him rise up the ranks.

Well not sure where to post it but Penske confirmed this morning a return to sports car racing next year in the IMSA series with two Acura DPis with Juan Montoya and Helio Castroneves rumored to be the full-time drivers.

I think he earned himself a Cup ride.


And its not like the Cup Series couldn't use the diversity

I agree, but I see a lot of people on Reddit say that his xfinity performance don't justify a full cup ride. I feel like he did a great job in the 43 and brought the car home in one piece each week. Hopefully a sponsor will step up to the plate and make it happen.

I want him in the 21, 10 or 43.

The owner said right now they don't have the funding for a 2nd car next heat. Hopefully they can find it. That's a solid ride.
