The #50 Arnold Motorsports team and driver P.J. Jones will have California-based Bennett Lane Winery as the sposnor of the #50 Dodge at Infineon Raceway. The following weekend at Daytona for the Pepsi 400, Mike Wallace will probably be behind the wheel with GEICO as the sponsor [and supposedly at Talladeage in Oct too]. At Dover, Wallace, with the GEICO sponsorship aboard, replaced Derrike Cope, who was in the hot seat the first 12 races of the season. (Naples Daily News)

I wish they could find the right solution for this car... Lots of potential for a good team
 
Ya know I have nothing against PJ but Derrick was not doing bad for what type of equipement this team can offer and since PJ took over the past two races they did not finish. I seem to recall them starting to get some decent finishes (or finisihing at all) with Cope. I think they may have jumped the gun a little. JMO
 
PJ should get this ride he's finished 22 and 25 in 2 races. Thats probably the best that car has done all season and probably will do if PJ is out of the car.
 
PJ had a 15th place finish going last week until he got wrecked by Kyle Petty on the last lap, which dropped him to 25th. Remember the reaction the guys in the booth had when they saw the #50 car wrecked? Thats why, he was having a great run last week.

Id say PJ has been a definite improvement over Cope.
 
yeah, i felt bad for PJ on the last lap there, I was so impressed that the 50 was running higher than field filler status that I wanted him to nab a top ten.
 
I didn't really think Derrike was doing such a bad job, but PJ Jones seems to have ignited a new fire in that team. Was a real shame to see him wreck on the last lap, otherwise that team would have had it's first top-20.
