Your right StandOnit and those rides were all that was available to him. I think if he is out at SHR he will take a big cut to stay in the game or stay at SHR. JMO
77 is open, , would make for a really strong team.Just because his contract expired doesn't mean squat, Gene can say to him this is what monster offered, this is what I put in, here is your cut in the deal. You in or you out?
The snag is that Gene won't know what Monster offers for '19 until it's too late to look for another ride.Just because his contract expired doesn't mean squat, Gene can say to him this is what monster offered, this is what I put in, here is your cut in the deal. You in or you out?
I'm hoping that's where Kenseth ends up.77 is open, , would make for a really strong team.
NBA shenanigans.

I expect Grandpa will bring Ty over before that happens.I think Kenseth ends up at RCR

OK, Charlie, get out your crystal ball. Allenbaba posted that the odds are "greater than a coin flip" that the 77 will not race in 2018. So assume, just for a moment, that the 77 team shuts down. What is Matt Kenseth doing in 2018, according to your crystal ball?I'm hoping that's where Kenseth ends up.
Kasey Kahne to the 41Kurt Busch to the #5!
Kasey Kahne to the 41
Dude, if I could predict what happens with any accuracy, I wouldn't be wasting my talents here.OK, Charlie, get out your crystal ball.

People get paid their worthIn Kurt's case I don't think Kurt was getting big money driving for James Finch, or even Barney Visser
you don't know much about Tony or your B.S. ingTony Stewart should have invested in a Starbucks franchise rather than a NASCAR team.I saw where Starbucks earnings soared 82 percent in first quarter as customers spent more on each visit.A cup of coffee is a cup of coffee to me,I just don't get people's love for Starbucks.Maybe I'm too cheap.

another snag is that Monster got a heck of a deal as the series sponsor, do they even want to sponsor a car.The snag is that Gene won't know what Monster offers for '19 until it's too late to look for another ride.

Nope. 77 is all on Barney. If he wants to backstop it ($$$), he can. But he's choosing not to. So anyone who wants to drive the 77 needs to come with a full season of sponsorship. Has nothing to do with TRD.I think the 77 is more a matter of Toyota sez than what Barney wants when it comes right down to it. Kurt has driven for him before in a self sponsored ride, Truex has sponsorship, Barney has said he will still pay the extra crew, it all smells fishy at this point to me. It's all there, all he needs is a driver.

doing what you love is over the head of many.
Kenseth comes with nothing (or very little). He and FRR have already spoken.Kenseth will retain sponsorship with DeWalt/Circle K/Tide and carry it over?
Might just be able to cover most of his races.

I'll take that as a pass on Kenseth.
That's quite unfortunate and it seems like he might be pushed out like Biffle was last year with Roush.
Precisely.JMO but I think Biffle had reached the end of the road and if these guys in their late 30's to mid 40's don't retire there will be no room for the young guys to get a start in the series.
Maybe, Monster likes to sponsor race cars, and they do sponsor a good amount of them.another snag is that Monster got a heck of a deal as the series sponsor, do they even want to sponsor a car.
My call
Kenseth to RCR
Kurt stays at SHR
Kahne to GMS
Byron to HMS
77 closed
10 closed
Kurt doesn't seem concerned...
