Bayne gonna be the third wheel at RFR.
He doesn't strike me as a guy into threesomes.

I am NOT one of the Danica haters, so don't take this wrong, but the idea of boyfriend and girlfriend driving for the same team just looks like a big circus, clowns and all to me. I just don't see that ending well. For one thing, what if their relationship went south during the contract period? That could get REAL uncomfortable. I would like to see Danica get a decent ride, just because I think NASCAR is more interesting with her than without, but I would be VERY wary of that situation.
If Roush brings Danica on board, after letting Biffle, Buescher and Wallace walk out the door, it shows why they’re on the decline. This coming on the heels of losing Kenseth and Edwards in recent years.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not opposed to Danica having a ride. I just don’t see a driver lineup of Stenhouse, Bayne and Danica restoring RFR to its former glory.
Yeah...... not a very impressive lineup when you consider the great drivers Jack used to employ..... Had he only spent the money for R&D in the years he had them.... He could have had multiple Championships...... He managed to squeak out 2..... Busch and Kenseth...... but it could have been much more lucrative..... I always felt in the later years Jack was using Mark for the R&D driver instead of giving him proven equipment.... Mark had some pretty good years after leaving Jack.... so did Kenseth and Edwards...... I really never understood the hold and loyalty bond that Jack had with a lot of his drivers..... they stuck with him thru thick and thin... Mark stuck with him I think 18 years...... I guess a lot of them just had ''old time'' scruples ...... appreciating the chance he gave them to get a top notch ride.If Roush brings Danica on board, after letting Biffle, Buescher and Wallace walk out the door, it shows why they’re on the decline.

I didn't mean to leave Biffle out........ He hung in like a hair in a biscuit until the bitter end....... all those guys were loyal........Add Biffle to that group as well. Shame he never got that late career resurgence the other guys got. He had more wins, maybe a championship in him. But stuck around the sinking ship far too long.
Well, I guess this doesn't help Danica.
They also have Majeski coming up and if they aren’t willing to go to a third car for him, I don’t know they would with DanicaIf Roush brings Danica on board, after letting Biffle, Buescher and Wallace walk out the door, it shows why they’re on the decline.

As said previously they follow the money. Any race team with less than 4 cars will take on any cash cow.They also have Majeski coming up and if they aren’t willing to go to a third car for him, I don’t know they would with Danica
Majeski is years away from Cup and Reed is stalling in xfinity. Danica has maybe 1-2 years left in her. Her presence would not stop any driver from progressing. If anything, she could bring back the third seat and it would be ready to go for a young driver to move in after her.They also have Majeski coming up and if they aren’t willing to go to a third car for him, I don’t know they would with Danica

Yeah as much as I want him to succeed being a fellow diabetic Reed shows no promise literally anywhere but Daytona.Exactly, even if Ty had sponosrship for cup like Reed already does they are not ready for Cup and the reality is Reed looks like he never will be.
Don't know. Haven't heard much out of SHR other than Kurt and them playing offer/salary tennis back and forth the last month or so. I have no clue what politics are associated with the number 10. As for Kenseth, it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up there for much less than he's used to making. Then again, he had a few options at much less than he's used to making, so there's that.

Long time reader of this forum, first time poster lol @Allenbaba , did you mean it wouldn't surprise you if Kenseth ended up at SHR or RFR for much less money than he's used to making? Also, does anyone think Kenseth would end up back at Roush in a third car?
And then Audi in 2021Switching to Toyoda for 2018, on to Chevrolet for 2019 and finally returning home to Dodge in 2020 with Joey Arrington engines.
Personally, I can't wait for the official announcement.

Oh, sorry, I meant SHR...I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up there at a reduced price. RFR would surprise me, even at a reduced salary.Long time reader of this forum, first time poster lol @Allenbaba , did you mean it wouldn't surprise you if Kenseth ended up at SHR or RFR for much less money than he's used to making?

Cool, thank you for clarifying. Do you feel like Kenseth and Jason Ratcliff are a package deal if an opportunity arises? They seem to get along well. From an outside perspective it looks like they'd want to go to a new team together.Oh, sorry, I meant SHR...I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up there at a reduced price.

Your guess is as good as mine. There's really not much out there on Matt. Doesn't mean things aren't "happening" for him, it just means if there are things happening, they're happening quietly under the radar.Cool, thank you for clarifying.

Its gonna be fun watching them next year, looking forward to it .With Dale Jr retiring I am adding Bubba to my 3 driver stable next year. I really like the guy and admire his desire. Chase, Blaney and Bubba...sounds more like a cartoon than a law firm! They replaced (at varying dates) Biffle, Edwards and now Jr.
