FWIW, the one year deal is as much for Kurt as it is for SHR.
I guess I don't follow you there Allenbaba...... other than you think Kurt might be able to demand more money next year..... the way things are shaking out with salaries and pink slips.... I'd think even though Kurt might have taken a haircut for coming back...... next year... it might be a haircut and a shave.....FWIW, the one year deal is as much for Kurt as it is for SHR.
I feel like this crop of drivers will race longer than this crop (Gordon, Stewart,Edwards, Jr), many in here are quick to retire JJ or Harvick or Kurt Busch because they’ve made their money or their salaries can’t be supported by today’s economics, which in a way I agree with. However saying that if guys like Blaney, Elliott, Willy B, Suarez, Bell (sure I’m leaving someone out) arnt making the salaries or money like current guys...won’t they have to race deep into their 40’s like the drivers from the 70’s and 80’s had too?One and done? Is 40 the new best before date for NASCAR drivers (yes I know, Harvick, Johnson...).
I hope Kurt is competitive and wins one more Daytonna 500 and two or three more races. That way the NASCAR press which hates him will have to vote him into the HoF. That would make my day!
With the weak standards of the Hall of Fame, Kurt is already a lock to be inducted. We just inducted a guy with 10 wins, no Daytona 500 wins , and never even CLOSE to winning a title. No offense Donnie, but where do you draw the line?
yep he is on a short leash

I think either. He'll take this season at SHR to decide his future. Either retirement or another opportunity (he had options). He did not want to lock in this salary for two years. If you ask me which way I lean, I'd say retirement. But honestly. this should be an amazing year for Kurt fans. He's going to either be auditioning for a new team & sponsor...or, not caring at all about consequence because he'll retire. Either way he should be really fun to watch.As in he's ready to hang it up or he wants to keep his options open for other rides?
Jeffrey Earnhardt, grandson of Dale Earnhardt Sr. and nephew of Dale Earnhardt Jr., is looking for a 2018 ride as he was released from a contract extension announced in October. Earnhardt drove in 2017 for a NASCAR Cup team that was a partnership of team owners Curtis Key and Joe Falk. Key announced Tuesday that Falk has terminated the partnership. Falk has control of a charter (which guarantees a spot in all races), and his plans for 2018 are to be determined. Key said his organization plans to field a NASCAR Cup car in 2018 and is seeking a driver and sponsor. Hulu, which sponsored Jeffrey Earnhardt in several races last year, also does not have definitive 2018 plans, according to a spokesman for Falk.

So, is this still the case? I've not read this or heard it anywhere else. What's the latest on their status?Maybe I’m late to the party, but I was just told Stenhouse has left team Danica.
Is he bad? I am not trolling just asking what people's opinion are of him. I myself wonder how he'd do in JR Motorsports Equipment with a full season drive and see where that leads him to in cup, I do remember when he was under a driver development deal with DEI that he had some talent and many fans were excited for him to come up to Cup.Jeffrey Earnhardt, grandson of Dale Earnhardt Sr. and nephew of Dale Earnhardt Jr., is looking for a 2018 ride as he was released from a contract extension announced in October.

I haven't heard anything either, so I'm assuming they're still seperated. Couples break up and then get back together all the time, so who knows. I think the Christmas time social media pictures will let us all know what's up one way or the other.So, is this still the case? I've not read this or heard it anywhere else.

Lmao Kurt Busch is easily a Hall of Famer...not even a debate

Appears she's moved back home to Arizona so I'm guessing something went down.I haven't heard anything either, so I'm assuming they're still seperated.

Her and pretty much most of Canada is down here , majority of them in my city, I FREAKING HATE snowbirds.But, maybe not surprising she's in AZ during the cooler months.

That was all I wanted for Christmas.Kurt Busch agrees to one-year deal with Stewart-Haas Racing
Haas has maintained his desire throughout the year to continue to field four Cup series cars.
“I think, financially, running four teams makes sense, because with this new charter system we’re paid money to run the cars not only from NASCAR (purses) but with our relationship with Ford,” he said.

You do have a point with that.It could be worse, you could be in Quartzsite!
I bet you don't mind all the taxes they pay in your state. The Governor of Florida stated that without the snowbirds, they would have to bring in a state tax. I don't think AZ gets as many.Her and pretty much most of Canada is down here , majority of them in my city, I FREAKING HATE snowbirds.

Thanks. Good to know I might have a shot at the title. I kid. I hope that they both are happy in whatever way it turns out.I haven't heard anything either, so I'm assuming they're still seperated.

I live in Las Vegas, I love that the tourists pay a lot of the bills and we don't have a state income tax.
I-15 northbound packed with Californios coming to party, is a beautiful sight, IMHO.
I could care less about the taxes , I care about not being able to get around in my city because all these old farts have took over the roads , I hate not being able to shop because the old farts have took over my stores, I hate that all the restaurants have wait times that over an hour because all the old farts have to eat at the same time.I bet you don't mind all the taxes they pay in your state.

Not near as much as the snowbirds here claim that they contribute.If i really cared, I would look up and see how much they do contribute to the local economy
Mmm, half seems high, can you provide a source please?"They" own half the property in Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler et al.
Wont be with CGR as of now, those talks broke down.So any legit rumors on what ride Danica is gonna be in during the Daytona 500?
No.Mmm, half seems high, can you provide a source please?
The only alternative for running both with one organization would be Penske.Wont be with CGR as of now, those talks broke down.
