You can expect an announcement before Daytona that Martin will drive for MWR next year...he signed a multi year deal over a week ago. Stay tuned  |

My oh my,,,,,I wanted him out, but not sure if this was the direction I was thinking,,lol....
Only thing I can see out of this is,, Reuitimann is doing decent in the 00. I would amagine the Owner has alittle better equipment if not a few more ponys then davids....Well,,Maybe it is Mikey???? I guess we will see..
Good luck MTJ. So who goes in the 1?? Mears,McMurray, or DANIKA???? |

I think Ruetimann gets the top stuff now but if Truex is in the NAPA car then there will be no doubt which is the top car in the stable. MWR has improved every year. This might be a good thing for both sides.
If recent history with Ganassi is any indication the new driver of the 1 will be whoever brings the most sponsorship/cash with them regardless of talent. |

Dont forget everyone will be up for grabs from Richard Petty Motorsports in 2010 as well. And if a number of teams don't get the sponsorship they need to run, expect a lot more drivers up for grabs as well.
2010 will be very interesting but strange. |

thanks Thunder but I think this was another bad kept secret. with his little brother racing for Mikey in the Camping East Series this was a no doubter.
As for the equipment I think this is a good move for Truex. Mikey I think will be twice an owner than ever a driver. With him and Reuti (sideshow of Ambrose) this is an organization going in the right direction.
Question for Thunder is does Manion come with him? |

Manion is a package deal with Truex.
But I was thinkin: Kasey Kahne's contract is up with Richard Petty. I know Kasey really likes being with Petty but do you think he'll move.
I think Red Bull will grab Kasey Kahne for the 82. I don't think Scott Speed is turning out as well for Dietrich M. I was surprised that Dietrich M. let Scott drive for Nemechek and I have to wonder if Red Bull isn't going to cut him loose at the end of the season. |

| They have a least two years committed to scott speed...and yes, I am hearing Bono will most likely go with Truex, although dont expect that announcement until much later in the year. Bono will say all the PC things until the season is almost over. |

Hey Captain,
Now that Truex has announced his future. Will he stay at EGR for the rest of the season?? |
