Beside the owners points why would Penske want to buy RGM's Cup program? Really? Penske's shop is 10X bigger them RGM's shop. Penske has his own engine program and his own chassis program. What does RGM have that Penske would want to buy? I think this could be just annoying Clare B Lang's way of making a topic or conversation for her show.
I think he would merge before only racing 8 races next year....he is a racer....he wants to race.
If Penske really wants Robby....he will give Robby a little freedom.
Bottom line is that Penske cars have been pretty competitive this year and they need some veteran drivers to help develop their young talent...so why not?
There would be so many awesome things to watch if this actually happened.
I'm no fan of Penske, though and Roger would just be buying a top 35 seat to keep warm for Justin Algier.
A switch back to Dodge and the fans that still want to hate on Kurt Busch would be interesting to watch.
And of course the Indy speculation (if Penske isn't sending Hornish to Indy, why would he send Robby?)

Me thinks that 99.9 % of the RG fanbase have gotten over the Busch/Gordon incidents circa 2003, Robby and Kurt certainly have, but I am sure there will be a few that will mention if they can ' get along ' . Last I checked, people forgive and forget .
