Did we ever find out I they are keeping Lajoie yet? Or is he on to the 48 now? :XXROFL:

The little bit I heard was they still have him listed as a driver on the website, but nobody has really made anything official
 
JJ Yeley is a great redemption story. His stats may not be great, but the fact that he's still in NASCAR is mind blowing. His JGR tenure was pretty disappointing.

I don't know about redemption story? J.J. Yeley continues to race. He raced a number of races in the dirt series this year in addition to part time Nascar, and is entered in the Chili Bowl.
 
That is a direct quote it appears on that tweet. At least Matt had some decent performance behind his complaints, but he kept forgetting or ignoring what Penske had told him. How Burton could come up with that boggles the mind. I guess he thinks with one restrictor plate win under his belt he's an expert.
 
I don't understand Harrison at all. When you're at the bottom of the standings for full time drivers in penske equipment you can't expect to keep your job. I'd be willing to bet Austin is even looking over his shoulder some. You can't perform like the #2 has been when your 2 teammates won the last 3 championships.

Nascar was living the lie and I think Harrison started believing the hype himself lol. They brought Harrison up on stage at the banquet hooping and hollering about his jackpot win that rocketed Burton in the playoffs, while ignoring the other drivers with much better driving records it screwed who weren't at the awards banquet.

He started running well the last third or so of the season. Hopefully thats something to build on.

Zane showed flashes of greatness coming up. He just hasn't found his footing yet, but I think it is there. I don't expect miracles in a FRM car but I sure would like to see him lead a few laps and string some top 5's together.
 
Mike Wallace is going to attempt to start the Daytona 500. No word on whether or not a woman will attempt to qualify so that he can crash them on lap 1 for the sin of having more talent than he.

Also, Cody Ware is apparently being tipped for the 51 RWR entry instead of Corey LaJoie. I wish the US racing media was as willing to try and roast teams and drivers as the F1 media are just so we could see them complain about Cody Ware endlessly only to see him continue to be trotted out for 31st finishing position.

Well, that was a team I wasn't expecting to return. It's been 9 years since they raced.

And that is a driver I wasn't expecting to return. Isn't Mike like 70?

That was pretty much clear ever since he returned for a handful of races last year.

Why? Hes 65, He hasn't started a Cup race in a decade, and hasn't made a NASCAR start in 5 years.

I dunno, it sounded more fun to him than getting beaten up in the parking lot of a country music concert?

Eh, screw it, put Lance Stroll in the 51.
 
Mike Wallace was a very solid Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity driver but yes he's a bit too long in the tooth to be doing this.

Cope said on the JR podcast that he made some serious $$ when StarCom sold it's Charter a few years ago. I imagine he's using some of that $$ to start this team. Still, they will need sponsorship, Hopefully the equipment they get from RCR is good stuff and not antiquated.
