As I see it both the Busch idiots need to be walkin in 2012....Both are a liability to their car owners and their sponsors that can't be overcome with winning a few races.

This brings up some interesting possibilities for Robby getting additional support from Dodge to ensure they have competitive cars on track.

The #22 isnt going anywhere & I see it making no difference at all.

Got to think Reutiman, Vickers, Ragan and Hornish Jr will be in consideration. But where does this leave Kurt... Fired from Roush & Penkse doesn't look good with teams and sponsors. Kurt is getting a hard taste of reality. I'm sure several teams will be calling Kurt since he has a Past Champions Provisional.

Have to think Kurt might be able to work a deal with RCR, EGR or possibly...JGR...

Penske really wants Hornish back in the cup series, so I wouldnt be surprised if he just put Sam in the car. No pressure on him since the car is locked in.

I'd second that. I really want to see Sam back in the car.

The pressure would not start until race 6 anyway

qaulifying wasn't Sam's problem,IMO. It may have been car feed back to adjust the car during the race that tore up alot of cars.Crew Chief/Driver combo, Sam learning tin tops.Still might be the best plan for Roger to run Sam in N/W for the season,then back to CUP.

I would think shell probably gets a big say in who they want - but its a lucky day for someone.

Wow, another shocking move. Where does Kurt end up now? I can't think of any available rides off the top of my head.
