This nascar silly season just continues to unfold... so many driver changes I can hardly keep up lol.
Dale Earnhardt Jr retires, to be replaced by Alex Bowman in the #88
Matt Kenseth dropped by JGR
Erik Jones leaves the #77 FRR car to replace Kenseth in the #20 car
Penske decided to add a third car, #12
Ryan Blaney leaves the #21 WBR car to drive for Penske in the new #12 car
Paul Menard then leaves the #27 RCR car to drive the vacated #21
Kurt Busch was not renewed with SHR, leaving the #41 car potentially open.
Kasey Kahne was dropped by HMS
William Byron will move up from the junior series to replace Kahne in the #5 car
So now at this point we have Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne without rides. Danica Patrick has also not re-signed with SHR yet, but also has not been released. #77 car is available, assuming FRR wants to keep it running. #41 is available if Kurt Busch doesn't re-sign. #27 RCR car is still open. If Ty Dillon goes to the #27 car as a lot of people think (Ty is the owner's grandson, so... yeah) that will leave Ty's current #13 car open for next year. And then there's rumors of GMS Racing starting a brand new HMS-Backed team in the cup series. That would open up an additional 1-2 rides.
All this and we're just about two thirds into the season. Never remember it being this busy lol. Sure would be interesting if F1 teams were allowed up to 4 cars like Nascar. I guess they don't do it to control costs and to improve competition, but it sure would be cool to see 4 Ferrari's vs 4 Mercedes vs 4 Red Bulls.
