Where's Carl going to be buddy?!If you put a gun to my head TODAY...as in right this second...and told me to make a prediction, I would say that next season Erik's in the 20 and Matt's in the 5 (and it wasn't Matt's decision to leave). I'm more confident about Erik in the 20 than Matt going to the 5...but I'm not willing to guarantee either scenario. Things are still extremely cloudy.

I think he still has potential to be successful and has years left of being a factor, but not in his current situation. The way that team ran at the end of last year, I thought they would be a top 10 team this year. Maybe it's the crew chief, maybe it's Kasey maybe it's a mcmurray at Roush situation. But maybe he could jump in the a new car next year and win consistently again.
I agree with this. I'm honestly surprised they haven't tried a crew chief change. Doesn't Darian Grubb work in the HMS shop right now? You would think Rick would try something like that before kicking the driver to the curb.
That said, it's obvious Kasey will be moving on. Could be best for both parties.

I really think Rodden needs to go, it's not working look what happened with Dillon sure it was fuel mileage but it was a different strategy. Sure they tried one at Dover by short pitting but that backfired.I think he still has potential to be successful and has years left of being a factor, but not in his current situation.

He should go to RCR to fill the 27 if Menard leaves for Penske as rumored.So where does that leave the current driver of the 5?
It could be that Jack is fed up with the way John Henry is running things. Jack is for winning races and John is for taking profits. Henry is in charge of sponsors and they haven't done well in many a year.Of all those random rumors, Roush closing really catches my attention, just seems too big to be real. I can understand why RPM could be at risk of closure if they lose Smithfield. But Roush still has 2 teams with most of their season filled with sponsors in cup (Though them closing the 6 XFINITY team midseason certainly raises some red flags). Could things really be that bad financially for the team? Feels like it would take something like John Henry selling his stake in the team (A la MWR) or something along those lines to put it in that position. Has to be something else to that
Back then it may be because he was bullying a security guard. The old "Do You Know I Am" storyI've seen this hate from back when he was winning.
If Menard leaves where is he getting a sponsor?He should go to RCR to fill the 27 if Menard leaves for Penske as rumored.

Hard to say really. But RCR has had a bit better luck attracting sponsors than some other teams. Yes obviously they've had some pay drivers, but Richard has brought in his fair share as well. Just a thought and speculation on my part, I think they'd be a good fitIf Menard leaves where is he getting a sponsor?

For more than 1 race, seems like more than a few. Good pick up for the 31 teamYeah, Newman just debuted a Velveeta car on Race Hub today.

and that turned me off the punk.

But ever since John Henry bought into Roush, he runs the business side of things. You can't blame Jack Roush for that. Taking the profits out also means there is no money to buy speed and the car is speed. The Roush/Yates engines seem OK in the other Ford cars.John Henry owns the Red Sox and the Boston Globe. Here's a look at one of his properties:
Attracting sponsorship for his ventures isn't a problem for Henry. I get that he's an easy scapegoat because he's an outsider but Jack has never been able to keep sponsors. The guy couldn't find and keep sponsors for Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth.
How do we know that Mr. Henry runs "the business side" of Roush, whether or not the operation turns a profit and if it does, that Henry drains that profit out?But ever since John Henry bought into Roush, he runs the business side of things.

Big difference selling baseball vs nascar racing.

I say those things because I have read articles that stated such. Some are quotes from Jack Roush.How do we know that Mr. Henry runs "the business side" of Roush, whether or not the operation turns a profit and if it does, that Henry drains that profit out?
The guy owns the Red Sox, Liverpool FC, and the Boston Globe and made his fortune by trading commodities futures. He's a legitimate businessman and his ventures are generally successful. RFR's issues are due to problems that Jack has had for years.
Also, this whole "Fenway took control of the business side" thing is just false. Read the initial announcement: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/motor/nascar/2007-02-15-roush-fenway_x.htm. Henry is mostly an investor and seems to have little to no day to day control of RFR. Maybe Jack SHOULD get out of the way and let Henry run things. He knows how to hire the right people and might actually improve the team.
With sour cream and butter?, maybe some shredded cheese?RFR is small potatoes for him
Nope just potatoes...small ones..no salt or pepper evenWith sour cream and butter?, maybe some shredded cheese?
Been there when Bobby Labonte was still racing. People are real quick to write off talent when the driver quits winning. I know there were years there where I do think Bobby could have still been a winning driver, but he choose some bad teams to race for towards the end. I still wonder about that rumored RCR deal that never happened. I think if Bobby could have found his way there towards the end of his career he could have won some more races. I think Kasey is done with the 5, and that might not be a very bad thing if he can land on his feet with a decent team.
When they say a person is in charge of.... what they mean is his people answer to him and he only makes a decision when the facts are in. Henry has HIS PEOPLE running the business side.Lol at Henry running the business side of RFR..he's an investor and nothing more... RFR is small potatoes for him
No, his people are not in charge of sponsorships, sorry..When they say a person is in charge of.... what they mean is his people answer to him and he only makes a decision when the facts are in. Henry has HIS PEOPLE running the business side.
Small potatoes? Every investor has those and the goal is to make it the big deal.
It's been hard on Jack ever since they landed Viagra...
FWIW the deal has Velveeta paying about $175K per race. That's less than JTG & Germain charge, and around what Front Row charges. Better than nothing though...For more than 1 race, seems like more than a few. Good pick up for the 31 team
Geez, Allen, that's like Xfinity money.FWIW the deal has Velveeta paying about $175K per race. That's less than JTG & Germain charge, and around what Front Row charges. Better than nothing though...

Man that's low considering some cars get probably $750-$1mil per race. And CAT probably pays $500k a race I'd bet???
