This can't be true. I read on this board that he's all but gone from that ride.

And Hamlin. Also gone.

And Hamlin. Also gone.

And, don't forget Earnhardt Jr. I read somewhere he's still stumbling all around Charlotte in a stupor.

I forgot he was taking over that ride.....

You know, someone needs to start a racing-forums.com Silly, Silly Season Thread to keep all this stuff straight.

well most of the seats the sponsor does have a say on who is in it. I don't know if KK himself has some sort of medical condition, but we will know soon. if alex boman outruns KK all the time we know something is very very wrong. I have a feeling alex boman is going to be faster than kasey most of the time. looks like hendrick is going to stick it out with KK. 2 more seasons. one problem may be that since KK was actually a pretty proven driver although some would disagree the guy does have 16 wins. Rick may have not bothered to include a performance clause in the contract. That means KK stays in the car or Rick has to buy him out.

Seems unlikely.

I just wanna know how they're gonna fit 8 drivers into one seat in the 5 car next year. Maybe Hendrick can buy some of Tony's leftover seats.

Yep. Even one of our "insiders" said that he was gone. Surprise surprise.

mmmm ...We'll see in 2019 . RF members seem to want to see kids in the cars . Owners and sponsors seem to prefer veterans . I'm still waiting on the last crop , Bayne , Stenhouse and Dillon , to start outrunning Kyle , Harv and Truex ..These guys were fast kids once too . Now they are fast ,experienced , and smart veterans .
