Who's in the 45 car??

[USAF_Vol]

Kyle Petty has accepted some gigs as announcer for television on a few races this year.

Who will they bring in to drive the 45 car?? News is that Terry Labonte has not been offered.

I would like to see the Bros. team it up. Who should it be??

I'll take a guess and say Bill Elliott will pick up a check those weeks.

Good call. Either way, it's a champ provisional . I liked Elliot back in the day.

From what i understand, Petty will do commentary from inside the car as the race goes on.

Did you read the article?? Only says he will do one from inside the car. Who drives the other 5 races?

He'll take a five-race midseason break from driving the No. 45 car to work as a NASCAR race analyst for the TNT television network.
Petty will work six races for TNT this season, including one from inside his race car.
He wasn't willing to give up driving in the June 24 race at Infineon Raceway, one of his favorite tracks, so he'll do both

OK. I found something better. Scroll down to #45 on this page. It says yet to be named driver.

Yeah, I read jayski almost daily. So who do you think will fill the void?

Bill Elliott
Terry Labonte

Is this finally the first step in completely vacating the car?

 

[checkerboard_charly]

Not sure if Texas Terry still wants to race. I say bring in a young guy and get that company a fresh face and a winning attitude.

They wont vacate it. Too much money to be made. Someone will drive the 45

I didn't mean give it up. Bad choice of words. I'm talking about Kyle getting out and completely letting someone else drive.

Oh yeah, he is pretty much done for. I mean he is taking the T.V. job. I say he is keeping the seat warm right now. Until they find a permanent driver.

do you think they'll offer to different drivers for each of those races? see how different drivers work and if they're interested in signing one full time?
