It was reported that the main sponsor for the 22 xfinity car insisted on Brad or Joey or they were going away. Penske made the deal to keep the sponsor, I guess they are paying enough to make it worthwhile.
Star car is a possibility, sounds like they don't have anything lined up for next year so far
Yeah, who cares about all the little guys like Carl Long trying to do what they can in this sport.
Didn't furniture row begin as a start and park?....
They were always a day late and a dollar short until recently.
Damn, I didn't realize that there was that much going on. That article certainly puts the silly season in the proper perspective.
I don't think Kurt has made a ton of money over his career. He left RFR to go to Penske, which I'm sure was about money, but only lasted a year (or 2 there?) So I cant imagine he made a ton. Then he went to the 51 and 78 because basically no one wanted him, so I cant imagine those salaries were too high. I cant imagine gene is paying him too much now considering how much of the sponsorship hes carrying and he doesn't seem all too impressed with Kurt lately.
I don't think it is money. I think Haas is done with him, gave him a year contract, has said I brought Kurt on to win a championship, if he wins I want him to stay when he was asked about Kurt's looking at Ganassi. Tony has said the 41 car is all Gene's deal so there is that. Looking at Kurt's record since he has been with Haas it hasn't been that impressive. Boyer has said the heat is on with his standing at Haas and he has a short term contract also I think it is up at the end of this year or maybe next. And all of them are in the top 8. So far anyway FWIW. I think Kurt needs to catch a fire if he wants to stay at SHR.
36 at the most.
I care that they can drop down to Xfinity where their limited resources might allow them to be competitive, esp. if the limits on Cuppers in X are increased.Yeah, who cares about all the little guys like Carl Long trying to do what they can in this sport.
There isn't as much as it seems. When article takes an A-Z approach, it's required to come up with 26 talking points.
Don't forget --- he married into money. Remember the pictures of his wife playing polo in England with one of the Prince Harry, I believe?
You do know he put the lake house up for sale?
no room for the stable of polo ponies?
Don't think that's happening. Kurt continuing to advance is the only thing holding up the announcement he's going to the #1 and Suarez is replacing him in the #41.
Maybe Chip is impressed with his ability to bring teams up a step.
Because he only hires fully funded drivers, even if they're mediocre. Just look at Michael Annett's 2018 stats...
The other three are doing pretty well.
For sure, which means it's definitely not equipment problems
There are a number of teams who run full time drivers in Xfinity, way more than the mega teams star cars they put together with cup teams to scarf up the prize money
He generally runs so bad I tend to forget that hes in a JRM car

LOL, Carl wants to go racing again (at least part time) at some point. Should we add him to the Silly Season mix?
I dunno, Carl got a rep for being real tight with his $$$. He’ll negotiate a low low price.
I think there is animosity between Kurt and Tony. Kurt would have been gone last year if he had a ride he could stomach. The #1 car could be that ride. We know Kurt likes a challenge and getting Larson to the top could be the challenge. I think he has 2 years to get it done then retire.
