: I will think positive! I will think positive! :

well, if RPM isn't closing shop, which i really thought was going to happen, and the Dinger just resigned with the 43, I guess that leaves openings there still.....though it looks as though Ambrose will fill another spot......i wonder if they will downsize to a 2 car team??

Last I heard on RPM, Sadler was staying, AJ was staying and Ambrose was talking to them.

I don't see Menard jelling with the other RCR drivers. I think Harvick and Jeff won't respect him as a driver because of "daddy" you know?

It's so frustrating to see guys like Menard and Kevin Conway, who by the way was in the #34 at Pocono because he drove the #37 out of the top 35 just like he did the #38, get full time rides and sponsors when you have a winner like Casey out there. I'd like to see him in one of the RPM rides next year but if TBR could get sponsorship or money somehow I think they could run competitive with Casey in the car. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Sorry, that's why they took him out of the #38 earlier in the year so I assumed it was why they took him out of the #37. Either way, he still doesn't deserve to have a ride over Casey.

I could see elliott becoming a full time driver for kevin&delana.He seemed really happy last week driving for them.Real comfortable.Fingers still crossed for casey getting a great ride.

SO........mears to germain racing???????this is from bob pockrass's article from today and it looks like it may happen sooner rather than later:

As for Mears, a source close to his situation said that he likely will replace Papis in the Germain Racing car no later than the Atlanta race at the end of the month. He will drive for the team, which has a half-season sponsorship from GEICO, in 2011 as well. The team, which has gone to every race this year but not run the full event at venues where it is unsponsored, needs sponsorship for 18 races in 2011.

hmmm its on Jayski now, why cant he just get Geico to TBR haha...I like where TBR is heading, I dont know if going to another Start and Park is the best idea, but who am I to judge...I just like how TB has supported Casey and brought him back to the team countless times. Well at least Casey is in the rumor mill again!
