I'm sure Toyota won't mind, and then they can return the favor $$$$$$$

The 07 already has a sponsor - the greatest web-based reality show going.

The #07 was never even a thought. The #55 & #66 are team cars. Wouldnt make ANY sense moving that sponsorship to a competitors car( aka the #07 )

I just think its virtually a slap in the face to all the fans that voted and designed stuff to put it on the 55 car at a road race. Its one thing to put it on a 55 car driven by Waltrip at a restrictor plate, but here?

But I guess whatever Toyota wants to do, its their money and their contest.

They should have never put it on the 55 to begin with. I would have bet my Bristol tickets Mikey didnt make it....look who still has her Bristol tickets. lol

Does this mean Blaney will get to run the whole race?

This was planned all along. Blaney's a pretty good qualifier. MW is a better PR person. If MW gets in, great. If not, then they had a good chance to be able to use it on Blaney's ride. Toyota got their money's worth because by going to Prism, it didn't cost them much. My thought is that the chances were pretty low that Blaney wouldn't qualify this weekend.

Along those lines, somebody really does need to give Blaney a better ride. I think he'd put down some good laps in that Red Bull car.

Yeah I agree. I don't think Blaney has really been given a fair shake as of late.

I agree too. As I've said here before, Blaney is better than at least 15 current drivers making the races.

Wasn't on Blaney's car for today's race either. Strange they had all that hype and didn't run it in the race. Maybe they're moving it to the Daytona night race?
