Where's the #77 "ME" WildCard Motorsports car? ....I bought the Gibb's chassis...
Don't worry, Kyle gave Robby a new one, so he can drive the 2nd truck @ Dakar....all is well

Oh, & Ron Hornaday bought the monster truck...said something about doing a lawn job on Kyle's house when he's at Dakar

I've won a lot of races in Iracing. Hopefully that will get me a start in the #70 in 2012.

But the way, I've seen it estimated that being able to start the first 5 races is worth close to $500K. Why wouldn't any of those teams who are locked-in show up and just S&P (and head to the bank).

this list is very unofficial. I think you are going to see many things happen leading up to daytona.

You can take Andy Lally off your list of Cup drivers looking for rides. Andy has left NASCAR and is returning the the Grand Am Series for 2012. He said the only NASCAR races he will attempt next year would be the Road Courses. That is if he finds a ride for those. I expect if he wants a road course ride he will find one in either a non 35 Cup team or a NW team. He will be in Las Vegas to accept his NASCAR Cup series Rookie of the Year award though.

Also it is not yet confirmed if Trevor Bayne will get the part time #21 Woods Bros ride. In a interview with Jack Roush he made the comment that he has yet to decide who he will put in the #21 next year. Stenhouse could be the guy in the #21 with Bayne running NW full time in 2012. Jack makes it sound like he is the boss of all the Ford teams. I would think Wood Bros would want their Daytona 500 driver back, but I guess Jack will tell them who they get.

A little trivia. Who was the owner of the #21 car when Trevor Bayne won the Daytona 500?

Answer: Richard Petty

Lest see if that make the history books and NASCAR's Hall of Fame?
