Ford has too many teams as it is, maybe FRM moves up a spot when RPM departs?

I would say it was more like '88-92 he wasn't competitive. Finished top 10 in points in 1987. Last top-five finish was 1988 Richmond. A race he might have if he had logged a protest due to a scoring snafu, but in true King fashion, he didn't want to win that way.

It's as simple as this, he is the Babe Ruth of NASCAR. The was NASCAR before and there was NASCAR after his driving days and they were two totally different sports.

It was Tom Higgins and his contemporaries in the print media that hung the moniker on him after win 100 in '69 I believe is how the story went.

It was never constant though at least in the modern era '72 forward.

The France family wouldn't have their empire w/o the drivers. No driver did more to advance the sport from point A to B than RP.

This is coming from a guy that still considers him one of my idols. But... 1, Set the standard for fan treatment, everybody else follows his example. 2 7 Daytona 500s --That is by far his most impressive achievement, yes he lucked into a couple but he also lost a couple he shouldn't have. 3...

At some point it won't be speculation,

yessir but that seems the biz model these days, Penske announced almost a year ahead as did SHR and RCR already is the stepchild of GM at least since 2001

Secret almost out...

To your point, I can't understand why he couldn't be in something all year, won't surprise me if he flops.

It would look great on the side of the most famous car in the sport.

Darn...as I understand Dakoda's family owns the company. They are the sponsor.

The man in the big chair usually gets the blame.

The bottom line...failure in open wheel, failure in Cup. And most of that time in Cup in HMS equipment so no excuses.

The glory days of NASCAR's growth in the '80s and '90's is over and dead, never to return. However, I think much like MLB continues on after it's glory days of the '30's-'70's when everybody it seemed at least cared about the World Series, NASCAR will never cease to exist.

Lots of talk Levine is positioning themselves for a move to Dodge with Kasey. Could help a small team.

Things are not adding up publicly at least.

Those may be the only ones to keep things at 4 but I doubt it.

The thing we are headed for now is two car teams will be the big teams as the stars retire. As Harvick, Johnson, Hamlin slide toward retirement, a lot of them won't be replaced team will just drop cars.
