Garage Chatter & Predictions

The garage chatter hit high gear this weekend at Chicago: Here's a few of the Top stories and My Predictions...

Kevin Harvick is asking out of RCR...WHY? Sponsor Shell is bolting to another team (Stewart-Haas?), but who will drive the Shell car? Harvick? Keselowski? or Danica Patrick?
My prediction: Harvick & Keselowski to Stewart-Haas

Penske bought the #22 from BDR, will Penske add a new driver, replace Stremme or both?
My prediction: Justin Algaier in the 12 w/ Verizon (Blank), Paul Menard in the #22 w/ Menards

Paul Menard shopping his sponsorship looking for ride...Penske? Waltrip? RGM?
My prediction: (Penkse see above)

DEI has Bass Pro Shops and the #1 and #8 but who will drive?
My Prediction: Casey Mears or David Gilliland

RCR will scale down to 2 teams?
My prediction Bowyer & Burton stay, but possible 3rd car on limited schedule

Yates to hire new drivers?
My prediction: McMurray & Labonte stays put

JGR possibly adding a 4th team?
My Prediction: Limited schedule w/ driver TBA

Expect a Big year in 2010...as much as testing equalled out some teams, the cut back of manufacture support will put more teams on equal footing.

Let it go. My guess is that the thread was removed for a reason. Let it go.

That's why this is called "silly season"!!!!! As the season is just barely half over!!! It will all play out in the proper time!!

OK, heres my $.02 on some of this...
"Shell is bolting to another team (Stewart-Haas?), but who will drive the Shell car? Harvick? Keselowski? or Danica Patrick?"
You know ol' Shakey Khane is in a contract year right? Plus he likes to drive those other sprint cars that Tony & Ryan like.

Penske bought the #22 from BDR, will Penske add a new driver, replace Stremme or both?
Justin Algaier in the 22, Don't think Penske's done with Stremme yet.

Yates to hire new drivers?
The 26 team will prolly move over there. As for Bobby, he has that past champion thing going for him. Think he'll stay


DEI has Bass Pro Shops and the #1 and #8 but who will drive?
No they don't EGR does,& not for long as far as BPS goes.
They will be on a SHR ride next year. As for EGR, they have Aric Amrolia still.

Penske *bought* the 22 so that Hornish would be locked into a T35 starting spot.

Wife brought home steak from meat market.... Rib-eye, thick as two-by lumber. Do I go with A1 Sauce or Lea & Perrins?
My Prediction: A1 Sauce.

A bit of Worcester before cooking, if it's a lower grade cut of meat. But for good beef, nothing but sea salt and pepper. Maybe, just maybe, a touch of garlic powder if you're so inclined.

High heat on the grill. 7 minutes per side at most. Let it rest for 5 minutes after taking it off the grill. Use tongs only - not a fork.
