That's been true up to this point, but there has to be a buyer. In the past, there has been. There will be a bump up this time. Let's look at what we know for certain:

The 19 and 98 are going away. We don't know how many cars Front Row will field. The 77 could go away. That's at least two slots and maybe a couple more, and this is all assuming that the 9 and 43 are back and that is not a certainty. That's the list of teams possibly going away. There could always be more in this economy. A lot of teams are a sponsor away from being gone.

Now, let's look at the teams that are expanding:

We can assume that RCR will do something for Menard's new ride. He could work a deal with the 78 or look elsewhere. That's probably one owner who will buy their way in.

The No. 10 of Labonte/Stavola is going to try to run full-time next year. They aren't going to buy points, because Labonte has the past champion's provisional.

That's it. We are going to have a net loss of teams, and as few as two and as many as FIVE are going to come out of the top 35, and that's assuming Front Row brings three cars back. Also, remember that the 09 is going to fold if Finch can't find a buyer. That's a team near the top 35 that will likely be gone.
