I find it hard to believe the 22 won't show up for Daytona, if not only to collect the last place money.
Will the 77 move up if they declare part time prior to Daytona? Do they lose their exemption if they are part time? What if they find a last minute sponsor?
Maybe Roger will work a wink, wink deal so they don't show up.
I've always been a Bobby fan (and actually he was the one I followed when I began watching Nascar) and I've always thought it would be cool to see those two work together. Not sure how the business-minded in charge Capricorn would work with the cool as a cucumber but sometimes stubborn & hot-headed Taurus the bull. Don't think it would ever happen, but to see my Bob-Rob duo working together is this girl's dream.

I think teams are going to re-learn how to do it with half the funding they used to recieve. I bet Regan Smith's car would have finished the same this past year with half the employee's it had.The days of the primadonna shop employees have come to an end.Guys who were "insulted" at making only $75,000 a year in a sport they took for granted, would probably jump through hoops for the same job at $30,000 right now.

Someone commented they talked to a friend in the garage and RG is going to buy BDR for pennies on the dollar to start a 2 car team on Jayskis blog pages. This makes little sense to me, as he basically would not be getting much from the purchase.
I doubt this has any merrit, but I thought I would mention it.
