Team Dakar USA going to be 3 cars in 2010?

Just heard that Team Dakar USA will campaign 3 Hummers next year. Heard the driver sponsor is already a done deal for the 3rd Hummer. Eliseo Salazar will be the driver. If you dont know how he is look him up.

Does anyone know what happens to the program if, per the reports, GM has killed Hummer or sells its corpse?

RG said I believe he has a contract with Hummer for 1 more year.
Assume if Hummer gets sold,
option A: the new owners would/should be responsible for that agreement. Maybe have Russian support trucks, cuz Russians are bidding on Hummer
option B: GM responsible for the agreement and Hummer gets a new GM body.
option C: parties reach agreement and go there separate way. Toyota hopefully comes through.

my money is on option B. Escalade with spinners

ps: I think the 3rd car talk is premature on Salazar and Gordon's part. drumming up interest kind of thing.
