2026 Silly Season

Speaking of Carson. A friend of mine, who knows someone, mentioned to me when we talked about this part time thing. It's because he quite possibly has a Cup ride next year, in the 7 car.

Looking like this may be true.

Well, here's an open seat, although it doesn't strike me as one that other Cup drivers will be calling their agents about. Maybe an Xfinity driver with a Cup monkey on his back will take it. We don't know how desperate Kyle Busch is, either.

Then again, Spire may use this as an opportunity to cut back to two cars and lease a charter out.

Turns out maybe the problem isn't the guy holding the wheel. Let's remember he was putting up very impressive stats in RWR equipment

I find it hard to believe that he was cut to a part time ride for JRM due to sponsorship reasons and he's somehow come up in a cup ride?

Like I said it's just something I heard from a friend. Might not be true, but the ride is now open.

I guess there's some serious rumors about them wanting Kyle pretty bad. In reality I can see it happening. With Kaulig running Ram next year in the truck series I'd have to imagine any manufacturer support they're getting from chevy will be gone. Maybe it's the time that Kyle moves on and Ty comes home?

If RCR was was a publicly traded company, rehiring Ty Dillon would be reason to sell my stock.

He's actually ran pretty well this year for the equipment he's in

 

[Blaze]

Yeah, his dumb mistake this weekend aside, he's not been bad when you look at the car he's in. Had some rather decent runs

I'm not sure RCR equipment would be a step up for Dillon over Spire.. I'm sure Dillon would not be a step up for RCR over Busch.

Sounds like a draw at best for all concerned, depending on who Spire gets.

Oops, over Kaulig.

Oops, over Kaulig.

RCR get factory support. I think that's dried up at Kaulig

It doesn't seem to be making much of a difference.

Kaulig gets support from RCR on the Cup side. Chris Rice was on Sirus this morning talking about that and how they're going it alone as they start their truck teams.
