| "It is really frustrating, but, you know what, I've just come accustomed to expecting it because it's just week after week it's something," he said. "Something breaks. Something falls off." | |

| Sounds like a man ready for a change. I would not be surprised to see him in Childress' 4th car next year. | |

| Roush would love to keep Biffle and shuffle the 26 over to Yates Racing. we'll see what happens. he's certainly frustrated. | |

I'd say you are right about the 26 car, but they don't have sponsors for the 2 cars they have now, unless Roush shuffles a sponsor with it.

| from my undestanding, all that would change is the name of the car owner. I have also heard Truex to Penske to drive a 4th car. | |

| MacMurray is the most overated driver ever to come to Nascar. So he won in his 2nd career start BIG DEAL. I was confused when Jack signed him but was just giving him the benefit of the dobut since the Ganassi trash may have been holding him back. It wasn't Ganassi's fault, Jamie's a bad driver

| i don't know that i'd say overrated, but he certainly has been a disappointment.
i forgot to add that if Truex leaves DEI, that opens the door for Bass Pro Shops to go with Smoke. they already sponsor his USAC teams. | |

| i wouldn't be surprised if Bass Pro went with Smoke when he becomes available regardless of what Truex does.
once Smoke makes his move, there may be some other pieces to fit in place. that's not to say that Smoke even will go anywhere, but with all the talk of him buying out his final year, i can't help but believing that it's true. | |

| Truex has been decent with the equipment he's had. People forget that Truex made the Chase with second hand equipment in on of the lesser organizations in NASCAR in multi-car teams

DEI certainly doesn't. I'd rate the organizations as to financial strength as:
1. Hendrick
2. Roush - Fenway
3. Penske (Roger is worth more than anyone else here personally)
4. Ganassi - Sebates
5. Childress (could be ahead of Ganassi)
6. Gibbs
7. Gillette-Evrinham (might be ahead of Gibbs)
8. DEI
9. Michael Waltrip
10. Petty
11. who cares?
