From A Penske Racing South Press Release

A decision has not yet been made on whether Brendan Gaughan will return to the #77 Penske-Jasper Racing Dodge for the 2005 season, Penske Racing South President Don Miller said Monday. Miller said Gaughan would drive the Kodak Easy Share Dodge in the NEXTEL Cup season finale at Homestead this weekend. Miller, who noted that Gaughan currently possesses second in the Raybestos Rookie of the Year standings, said a decision on Gaughan's status for next year wouldn't be made until after the season ended. "And that is after the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Awards Banquet in New York City," Miller added. The banquet is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 3.
 
Nothing like stringing the guy out so he doesn't have time to look else where. :confused:
 
If he has any smarts at all he sees the writing on the wall and is networking elsewhere. I do not think the Netzero rumor would be around if he was not talking to someone.
 
As I've said a million times and will say a million more...any ounce of respect I had for Penske/Jasper has been lost. I understood at the beginning of the season that Gaughan was being put in the car this year and this year was supposed to be his "get used to the car/learn the new tracks" year and the next year was supposed to be his first year where they expected results. Apparently, they didn't keep this in mind. I hope Gaughan goes back to the truck series

Brenden has only 2 top 15 races this year, If you look at the history for the 77 car there is no sign of improvement AT ALL during the year. I would agree with you if it was half way through the season.
 
how many top 15s has Kyle petty had though? Essentially, they are both driving junk cars...penske/jasper spent most of this season getting the "good" stuff built.

Kyle.....thats a whole other story. I find it hard to believe that they didn't get stuff, and help from the other team. Some drivers just can't cut it in cup, no matter how good they are in another series. :growl:
