Gaughan and Evernham? UPDATEs: some sources say that Brendan Gaughan's [#62 in the Truck Series] name has come up as an option for Evernham Motorsports if changes are made or they choose to run the third R&D car [#91 Dodge](3-22-2003)
UPDATE: .....a mention of CTS driver Brendan Gaughan as a possible driver for on of Evernham's three cars, brought this response from Gaughan: "I want to go to Winston Cup, we know that," Gaughan said. "But I don't ever want to hope that someone does bad. I'm rooting for all the other Dodge drivers. Right now I'm just worried about getting our team through this Craftsman Truck Series season. We're third in points -- two points out of second -- and that's right where we want to be at this point. I haven't heard anything about the rumor, but it's cool my name's out there. That's a bonus." ...(Las Vegas Review Journal)(3-28-2003)
UPDATE 2: Brendan Gaughan, one of the hottest drivers on NASCAR's Truck tour, is under consideration for a Winston Cup ride with Ray Evernham, according to sources.(Winston Salem Journal)(7-28-2003)

In Happy's opinion, it'd be great to see another Las Vegan in the field. I've watched Gaughan as he raced here in "the Bullring" at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He can drive, he can win. It'll be great to see where his potential leads him to ! :)
 
He's a really nice kid. I met him once at Daytona during speedweeks. I sure wouldnt mind him ending up at DEI...
 
Brendan does seem to have the talent and attitude to do good, but I hope they don't hurry things up too much. I like Dodge a lot, but would have reservations about going to Everham after the Casey deal.
 
As a fan of the Georgetown Hoyas, I would love to see him in cup. I think he is a good racer. Just move up in series when ready.
 
Brendon is a Dodge boy all the way i don't think he would go to DEI! Evernham would be a good seat for him IMO, I hope he does get the 3rd car and it becomes a full time car( with mopar logo's)
 
It's a possibility he might enter DEI, NAPA Auto Parts sponsors his truck already. If NAPA can sponsor another DEI car, then Gaughan might have a shot at entering DEI. But it's unlikely.
 
I'm a huge Gaughan fan ever since we meet him last year at Indy. He has to be on of the nicest and most down to earth guys in all of Nascar. I would love to see Brendan get a Cup ride with Everhamn but at the same time I think he needs to run at least a half a season of Busch or do the ABC schedule before he goes full time Cup. I think once he gets the esperance he would be a very good Cup driver!
 
He would do very well in the Nextel Cup Series. Still hard to get used to that name.
