2010 starting to take shape for Nascar's lineup

After a ton of rumors and possible defectors, it appears many of the possible rumors turned out to be nothing more (Thanks to under contracts).

Harvick & Shell will stay put at RCR
Kenseth will stay at Roush with Crown Royal (no suprise)
McMurray will likely end up in the #1 Bass Pro Shops Chevy at EGR (again no suprise)
Menard will stay at Yates (another contract keeper)
Red Bull will keep it's lineup and possibly switch to Chevy (no suprise if it happens)

The only news of the year was Truex bolting to MWR ( that rumor had been going for a long time)

Next year will be the year...the following drivers have contracts that end in 2010:

Kevin Harvick (& Shell)
Kasey Khane
Mark Martin
David Ragan
Denny Hamlin
Kyle Busch
Elliott Sadler
Jeff Burton
AJ Allmendinger
Jimmie Johnson
Paul Menard

Expect lots of news in 2010....and lots of big time moves.

Notice it came from Ford Racing reporters...they love to stir the pot of other manufacturers. Even if it's probably true.

I doubt we'll see much happen this year other than what's expected. Next year will be nuts!
I expect to see McMurray in the #1 at EGR and Keselowski at SHR. (Unless Penske pulls Keselowski, no big suprises left).
