For what it is, I mean coming out of the RCR stable could be a good thing. Bubba is having a career year and I think he's getting the most out of what he's given. To think, he should have more than five top tens in a mediocre car is not bad.
Welp nevermind
He’s good for a top 15 finish any given weekend. Enough to get some air time for his sponsors. Enough to make the playoffs. Enough to stay halfway relevant due to his personality. His days of consistently threatening for a win are long gone. He’s a sponsor wheel holder.
Clint has taken any ride he could get his whole career. SHR is the best ride he has had but IMO he has shown he is not the caliber of driver you can build on. SHR would be better off searching for the type of driver who can replace Harvick in a couple years.
I had to laugh at this. While my comment was referring to the opinions of all drivers, Bubba wasn't the first one who came to mind. Or the second. Or even the third.
Depending on the price tag, I would say that Jones should be #1. With proper coaching
Him or Lajoie to the 37, other goes to the 43.
Maybe he can get Kelley Earnhardt to manage it for him.

I like the concept of new ownership in the sport, but not really under these circumstances. Unless it's a non Toyota team I feel it will be just a 5th JGR car.
Imo if the car and team is competitive and makes for more parity in the sport, why not?
Exactly, it's not like there's a line of Billionaires waiting to throw around millions to start up teams.
The general impression is that as soon as one of Toyota's satellite teams becomes competitive, Gibbs pulls the rug out from under them.
Hearing just that out of the KDB camp.
I don't think there would be a JRM if Kelly wasn't running it. She got the brains I believe
To be fair, Suarez wasn't given a fair shake @ SHR. He had a very solid season, barely missed the playoffs. The only reason he lost that ride was because Custer was waiting in the wings. If that wasn't the case, he'd still be in the #41 today.
Let's be honest he lost his ride because the money dried up. Which in all reality was the only reason he was there in the 1st place.
JGR Xfinity and KDB trucks use JGR engines, they are to supplied like they are in cup.
And Clint is the sponsor holder.
I think I recall Tony saying the sponsor was late (more often than not) with their payments. Seems to me JGR had no problem letting the sponsor go either.
I'm not. Rick now has lost the only two consistent championship drivers he's ever had. It makes total sense that HMS is in a complete rebuild spearheaded by Elliot
That would be awesome and it would complete my lineup for 2021. But I'm not going to get to excited until the the papers are signed and the official announcement has been made.
The only consistent championship winning drivers on track with Jimmie Johnson have been Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch. Nobody else has won multiple championships.
