Oh boy, my friend Dirk from Aussie land will be tickled. I have been keeping him abreast of all the races. Dirk tells me that Marcos is a very aggressive driver who can show his temper/emotions quite well. So, if he is going to the #59, is Tad going to fire Stacy Compton? Stacy is sitting in 16th place, but take away the Cuppers and he's 7th amoung Busch regulars. I am aware that Tad is part of the program that Ambrose is coming up in, but I also thought that there was another owner as well. I know his teammate is Bobby East. Is Bobby also moving up?

What Iread a month or so ago when I first read this, it said Stacy was going back to the truck series. Actually I really think Stacy was happier there and better suited, hope he still is.

Eagle, that makes sense. I remember the first time the big time heard of Stacy. It was Martinsville some years back and his qualifying for the Cup race turned many heads. Of course, he was well prepared for the qualifying there as he had driven late models there plenty before and knew the track. I have for many years paid attention to his carreer and he really seems to have been a sort of disappointment and I don't believe that he has one win in any of the series. He's shown some promise from time to time, but just has never been able to get it all together, and that might also have been the fault of the teams that he's driven for over the years.
