Looks like Dillon is gonna get the #29 and that will go back to being the #3 car.

Oh no, that means the 12 year legacy is coming to an end.

Somewhere up there Dale's thankful that Harvick replaced him in the #3 and added to his legacy even after death! It is now Dillon's turn!

Somewhere up there Dale is doing a facepalm for that comment :rolleyes:.
 
I bet it will be a clean switch with Newman going to RCR and bringing Quicken Loans and Outback with him. He seems to have a good relationship with those 2 sponsors

I see reports that Newman will be looking for a ride.

The #4 will replace the #39 at SHR.

So it'll be the 14, 4 and the 10. Still wished it was Patrick getting kicked to the curb.


Also, "Chad Hacken-something" :lol:

You stole those words right from my mouth. 👍 Though I'm not really surprised Newman is about to get released, he has to be the biggest "meh" driver in the series right now. Two consecutive seasons without a Chase spot in a relatively good team doesn't do you much good. (Just making an assumption here, can't really see him making the Chase at least with the pace he has now)
 
Danica wouldn't leave. SHR have struggled for sponsorhip, Danica brings exactly that.
 
Childress says he might have enough sponsorship to have 4 cars on track next season.
Newman is rumored to either be going to RCR, back to Penske in a 3rd car, or a 2nd car at Furniture Row Racing.
I also believe both JPM and Jamie Mac are free agents currently.

She's not the only person in the world capable of bringing $$$ to a team. The difference is, some people don't only have big sponsors, they also have talent.

A lot can change in the next few weeks. He is only 17 points off a points-earned Chase spot and Ryan Newman won here in NH a few years ago. The introduction of Harvick will surely give him added motivation to prove his worth in these next few weeks. This is shaping up to be one of the closest Chase Competitions in recent memory and that's not just for the Wild-Card Spots.
 
Places Ryan can go-
RCR 4th car
Penske 3rd car
Furniture Row 2nd car
Both rides in EGR are open.
Both rides in RPM are open.
The 55 if Waltrip can't convince Aarons to sponsor Vickers (Which seems likely...... I don't recall Vickers ever running for Aarons)
The 47 (Not likely at all)
And finally the new owner of Finch when he sells the team after Indy. This might be the most likely thing to happen if the new owner does indeed turn out to be Harry Scott Jr. (Turner Motorsports). Newman is leaving on good terms and Tony said he'd try to get Newman a job. With Turner/Finch basically being Hendrick cars and the fact Turner doesn't really have anybody ready in the other two series to run in Cup full time, this would give Turner a couple more seasons to prep Buscher/Gator for the ride.

Aaron's was on the car when Vickers ran the Louisville car at Kentucky.
 
We all saw it coming but now it's official according to FOX, Newman won't be returning to Stewart-Haas. Hopefully he'll finish the year strong and pick up a ride at EGR or RCR.
 
Cassill to drive #40 in select races: The #40 will once again compete on the Sprint Cup Series circuit when Landon Cassill pilots the joint effort for team owners Joe Falk and Mike Hillman. Beginning with the upcoming Brickyard 400, the #40 will run select Sprint Cup races throughout the remainder of the 2013 season. Cassill, who has competed in 15 of the 18 Sprint Cup events this season for Circle Sport Racing in the #33 Chevy SS, will switch to the # 40 with Austin Dillon scheduled to drive the #33 in the Brickyard 400. "With ABC and ESPN picking up the Sprint Cup television broadcasts beginning with Indy, including three network primetime events, we felt the opportunity was right to field the # 40 car at select venues for the remainder of the season," Joe Falk said. "Mike Hillman has done a herculean task of getting our Gen-6 program up to speed with help from Landon and Richard Childress Racing, and it was a point of pride when Landon started alongside race-winner Tony Stewart at Dover earlier this season. We believe fielding the #40 allows companies looking at the sport that thought only a Truck or Nationwide sponsorship was in their budget to now have the opportunity to showcase their brands on the sport's biggest stage."(Circle Sport)(7-12-2013)


Stewarts all black scheme for this weekend:

They have Justin ready for cup, he might not have done alot but he is more than ready to be honest.

You also have to think Furniture Row is just an RCR car period, it's not even as much a difference as SHR/Hendrick is. So I see him in an RCR car which seems to be a better fit anyway and he brings sponsors with him. I like Newman and never seemed comfortable at SHR with Danica there, which I can't blame him nor would I want to be a part of the 3 ring circus between Harvick, Tony and Danica.

Nope, official Stewart Haas Racing twitter tweeted it out recently

Here is a photoshop of his car from the NASCAR subreddit

I like that. It's not the "Best Budweiser" scheme ever, but is very nice! 👍

And in another theme...

Jimmie's #48 failed post-qualifying inspection because the car was too low.
Johnson-inspection-922x520.jpg.main.png


In the words of Chad Knaus, he said that it was a “mis-assembly issue with the left-front, and that’s why the heights were so messed up when we were going through initial inspection. That came back to bite us there in the end.”​

Saw Nationwide practice and that 22 just looks so good in those colors. I think its a combination of the white around the number and the stripe going over the car (and maybe the Yellow wheels) that does it for me. To make things even better, the 12 car has its Alliance truck parts paint scheme so its presence compliments the 22.
 
Chad is lying through his teeth! They had issues getting through pre inspection, I don't buy it.
