Carl Edwards officially to drive for JGR in the #19 Toyota with sponsorship ARRIS Group Inc for 17 races. Also Daniel Suarez will compete full-time in the Nationwide series and part-time trucks.

I hope that doesn't cost Bubba a spot.

I would be really disappointed if bubba didn't get a full time nationwide seat. I doubt I would be alone on that.

I'd like to see Hendrick nab Kyle Larson to replace Kahne
