SILLY SEASON 2018

If that is truly the case I don't blame him a bit .. it's a dying sport and he's not the least bit fond of the France clan. He has generational wealth .. probably doesn't see the point at putting himself at further risk for pennies on the dollar.

You comments make sense.

Adam Stern said a switch to Toyota is possible. Danica in the #77 FRM Toyota?

It is a top tier team, and that was one of her requirements , so interesting and this silly season's just keeps on being silly
 
Stern also said Cassill will not be back to FRM and FRM might switch to Toyota.

I guess FRM will replace BK Racing as that third Toyota team?

Can you really call them a third Toyota team tho. If your engine supplier is Race Engines Plus or whatever the hell it is I think you're more just a team that happens to run a Toyota body on your cars.

FRM getting some sort of actual support from TRD would be a big surprise to me.
 
I have my fingers and toes crossed that DP will be back but I never considered it could be the 27 as I thought one of her prerequisites was with a top team.

I think Triad would be my guess for engines, and hit and miss for the rest of it

So Toyo team?

That works, but FRM is a solid organization though with consistent sponsorship. I always wondered why Ford did not give a bigger helping hand to them? Hell, freaking Go-Fas is getting Ford to back some of their empty races this year.

I think Bob Jenkins and his group could he something great for the sport. I hope TRD does back them instead of leaving them in the cold like BK.

You were looking for Triad Racing Technologies, they are the engine builder for all the none TRD backed teams.

But yes, you have point though.

Now Stern is tweeting that Danica to the 27 is most likely.

Not sure how much "help" TRD would be. I think most of the support would come from JGR.

So you're saying they'll be in a similar relationship as FRR has with them? Do they keep supporting FRR to the extent they are now or do they phase them out?

Don’t know. I don’t think it will be anything resembling the FRR/JGR relationship. FRM should up their game if this happens, but they’ll hardly be a front runner.

I think its pretty well assumed Bell will be full time xfinity and i think he will probably the only full time jgr driver.....i think noah could be gone from KBM. Gilliland will be full time kbm.

With cuppers limited in Xfinity now they’ll need more than one full time XNS driver. I don’t know how they hang on to everybody though and still have Burton, Gilliland coming up

No they won't. They have Kyle and Denny as the only guys with limits and they could take up 14 starts in one car. Jones and Suarez can run Xfinity as much as they want. Bell full time with Cup guys and psrt timers is all they'll need although I'd love to see Preece he a JGR ride as well.
