I wonder what is said.....

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind seeing Matt 'demoted' to satellite team.

Blasphemy

Can you think of an available ride you'd rather see him in? To me, the only question is if the #77 will run next year. If it doesn't, I see the #88, #10, or #5 as a step down.

IDK, I think he would make the 88 finish better than now. Funny you write the above question, I just started a thread on this topic of where will he land in 2018

The way things are going this season, Jones might be happier staying where he is. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind seeing Matt 'demoted' to satellite team.

IMO that would be a great combination, not a demotion by any standard. It would be a stout team.

I wouldn't think they would be a step down at all considering how he is doing this year. Sometimes a change is needed. Since the Gibbs cars aren't tearing things up like they are used to I just wonder if it is more a problem of them being able to get a car on the track that the drivers like and is competitive. I'd bet that Matt would go to either of the teams if given a chance and be grateful to get a chance to rub it in Gibbs face that they let him go.

Damn. Akio before me? WTF!



Logically, your point makes sense, but I completely disagree (of course). Gibbs will be the top dog as long as they want to be IMO. In this, I am quite sure.

Considering how long they stayed with MWR, you could be right.
