2026 Silly Season

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

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.

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?

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?

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

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.
 
I wonder where Ty goes next year and who is in the #10. Sounds like the RCR/Kaulig alliance is done at the end of the season because the Ram deal.

I have no wonder to give on where Ty goes. Kaulig will be using ilmor engines for the Truck series. Probably the same for Cup racing when they go there. That is who Penske used when he went with Dodge. They have been making engines for a really long time and for almost every series over the years. F-1, Indycar, Nascar Truck series, GTP, ARCA and SRX.

You have to use the spec motor for the truck series. As far as I'm aware Ilmor doesnt have a cup motor available
 
Heard it a couple times now so where there's smoke you think there has to be fire. Sounds like daniel suarez to the #7 next year. The 7 car seems like such a train wreck he might be better jumping down a series

Well, Kaulig has open truck seats to fill. Definitely a big cut in the ol' paycheck but he'd get in on the ground floor. I don't remember if there are any top tier Xfinity rides still open. NASCAR may help find him a spot; I'm sure they'd like to continue having a connection to the Latino / Hispanic audience.

According to Tommy Baldwin, all of the Kaulig truck seats are filled, although he refused to say who the other three drivers are.
