It's a business and I'm sure Matt fully understands it. I do disagree that JGR did Matt any favors when they hired him to replace Logano .. they hired him because he was the best driver available. He's the best driver available again, so hopefully another top outfit steps up and inks him to a...

There's some truth to sponsors not wanting to pay the old rates ... just look at the main sponsor, Monster .. they are paying a third of what the previous sponsor paid.

Poor old Matt has had terrible luck with sponsorship ... I hope that issue doesn't force him to the sidelines. I would think compared to most of these Nascar goofs that Matt is every bit as sponsorable if not more so given his track record in the sport. After a decade or more with Dewalt from...

They signed their latest deal in 2016, and it was said to be for 'multiple years'. I think their sponsorship may be timed to Matt's contract, but I'm not really sure ... hope so. I'd like to see them follow him to wherever he lands. Matt and Dewalt have been pretty synonymous with one another...

Kahne has completely underperformed the past few years .. with his sponsorship deals being up it's time to cut bait.

I'd say Kenseth's major weakness is sponsorship. He has a strong relationship with Dewalt, but they may still have another season inked with JGR .. not sure. Matt has had some bad luck sponsor wise .. he had a good think with Dollar General, but when their nascar fan CEO retired the new CEO...

I was listening to Brad K. on Race Hub ... he thinks Matt is going to the #88 in a half season roll ... shared with Bowman or Byron. I don't think Matt would take that job. I see him in the #5 full time, and perhaps the #88 gets shared by Dale Jr. and Bowman for next year. A week or so ago...

It sure sounds like dale jr. knows something about Matt's situation... wouldn't be surprised to see him wind up at Hendrick next year. We'll see.

Thanks for the info .. I think it's looking kind of bleak. I wouldn't be surprised to see him re-up with JGR and the #20, or move over to the #77. If that doesn't work out he's probably done for ... can't imagine he wants to bother racing with a subpar organization. I know Matt's been tied to...

What's the latest on Kenseth ... any scuttlebutt?

Does one of your predictions include Matt Kenseth having a high quality ride for 2018? I sure hope so! He's having a crappy season and at his age I'm finding myself getting nervous about it. Put my mind at ease, please ;)

I'd like to see Matt finish out his career in the #20 the next few years , but I could live with a move to the 5. I think Matt and Jimmie Johnson are very good friends these days (bike buddies), so seeing him finish up over there with a quality organization would be sweet. Matt has been...

I hated it at first, but I've adjusted to the new format within the past few weeks. I like the old format better, but basically all of the info that was present before is still there .. just a little harder to find.

I'm making my move up the chart ... Go Green Gold Checkered! It's been slow and steady as I only have one top 10 performance to date.

That's B.S. They cheered so loud that Matt even ackowleged the crowd with a waive.

I'm not sure how different life would be for Kenseth if they made that swap .. probably not very different at all. I think Truex and Jones sit in at JGR for the majority of driver meetings. Judging from comments yesterday Joe and Matt's people might be working on a new deal, but there's...

JGR and FRR are two seperate entities, but they do have a strong alliance. Erik Jones is under contract for this year to FRR .. not JGR. Still though, I would think they would be able to work something out to keep Kenseth on board with Toyota. Visser and Gibbs seem to have a great working...

I think Matt's deal is up with JGR after this season, but there could be a new deal coming with JGR .. or perhaps Furniture Row, who seems to want to continue with a 2 car team into the future. It kind of depends on Erik Jones's situation. Furniture Row could expand further as well. If he has...

I think he'll go a little longer than that .. perhaps 2020 .. just not sure where he will be at that point?

Hey man, how long do you expect Kenseth to keep racing? Do you think he has multiple years remaining? You can answer in a riddle if you like ;)
