| KHI Rumor
Just saw some rumors saying KHI will down size the truck program from three to one and let Ron Hornaday go. Also another rumor says they may leave the truck series altogether. What I don't understand is why? They are competitive so it doesn't make sense. Unless they might be looking to expand in the Nationwide program or launch a Cup program? |

| Expansion in the Nationwide series for Austin Dillon seems like a real possibility unless he ends the revolving door that is the 33 and makes that Dillon's full time ride. | |

I don't think fans would like seeing the #3 ran by any other teams either. | |

| Put Sadler in one of the KHI trucks full time. Maybe he can win there. Maybe.

| How big of a joke would that be? Sadly, it's a definite possibility in the Nationwide Series with Cup guys winning races and getting no points.

Still I like his chances this weekend, he is usually good at Bristol winning there in both Cup and Nationwide. | |

They both use ECR motors and if I'm not mistaken KHI builds the chassis for RCR's truck program I believe, as they do for other teams. | |

| They are basically doing this to help out Childress in the Nationwide Series. I can understand the Hornaday rumor, but Ron let Harvick live at his house when Kevin was trying to get into Nascar. It will be a tough call for both, if it happens. | |
