Yeah. It's now confirmed. Said will drive the 26, but the team could S&P some races after Bristol.

Racenut7 · 31 Jan 2010, 05:57 (Ref:2622621)

#78 Formed a technical and engineering alliance with Richard Childress Racing and will be in the top-35 in owners points using the owners points from the closed up #07 RCR team, BUT will still run Hendrick Motorsports engines

MJ_N_09 · 1 Feb 2010, 15:58 (Ref:2623750)

Baldwin expands to 2 teams. The 35 will run 3 races in 2010 with Johnny Sauter.

Also, Front Row plays some musical chairs for Daytona. Here's their lineup:

34: John Andretti
37: Travis Kvapil
38: Robert Richardson Jr.

for Fontana, it will all switch back to:

34: Kvapil
37: Conway
38: Gilliland

MJ_N_09 · 2 Feb 2010, 01:29 (Ref:2624125)

More details on the 2nd Prism car; The 55 was sold to the 2nd car and will run the entire season.

"McDowell to run full season: per Michael McDowell's Facebook page - Michael McDowell has signed with Prism Motorsports to run full time in the Sprint Cup Series in the #55 car. It was posted recently that Dave Blaney would return to Prism Motorsports to run the #66 car full-time in 2010 and McDowell would run some races in a 2nd car. The #66 Prism Motorsports team attempted all 36 Sprint Cup Series races in 2010, with Terry Labonte in the Daytona 500, Blaney in 34 races and McDowell at Talladega in April when Blaney had a family obligation. No word on a sponsor or crew chief.(2-1-2010)"

MJ_N_09 · 2 Feb 2010, 01:49 (Ref:2624135)

Also, Confirmed. The Hall of Fame Racing 96, who finished 31st in points last year, has shut down. Owners points should go to the 3rd Front Row team, the 38.

"all indications are that the #96 Hall of Racing team, that had an alliance with Yates Racing in 2009, has closed and will not run in 2010."

Is it just me or does anyone else find this idea of shuffling the owners points around ridiculous?

**gomick** · 2 Feb 2010, 11:05 (Ref:2624316)

I need the season to start so i know who drives what & for what teams - all this furniture row stuff & # changing/owners points has got me beat....

i usually have to do that with ALL motorsports, especially F1.
i just wanna see some racin'.

but i do thank MJ for keeping more informed during the off season than i ever have been before...yes, i read the posts!

MJ_N_09 · 2 Feb 2010, 13:04 (Ref:2624374)

No need to thank me. I just think that updated on teams cutting down operations/ changing drivers is important for Nascar fans that will continue to keep up with the sport indefinitely. For example, if Harvick actually does bolt from RCR this year, you guys won't be caught off guard.

You think this is bad? Last year was ridiculous. It didn't matter what manufacturer you used. If you had the money, the owners points were yours. See Penske's 77 buying the then Bill Davis (was Toyota) 22's points, RCR's 33 buying the DEI 01's. RCR also sold points to Front Row as well.

This year at least has teams selling points to the same manufacturers.

This is it. Tommy Baldwin's 36 wins the award for worst scheme. Click at your own risk,he'll do anything to get sponsorship.

I have always done that for Nascar, but this F1 off season is fascinating to me.

Who the hell are all of these teams? Starting to be like sportscars.

They have also changed their name to Gonrrhea Motorsport.

MJ_N_09 · 4 Feb 2010, 03:20 (Ref:2626103)

The funny thing is Tommy Baldwin already has an 18 race sponsor this year...someone else prolly needs it worse than him....if anyone else would dare to put that on their car.

Speaking of Sponsorship, Window World will again sponsor 2 cars in the Daytona 500, again for Front Row's 34, and now for Said's 26.

I guess I can now say, let the races begin!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woot.

MJ_N_09 · 4 Feb 2010, 03:27 (Ref:2626108)

The known paint schemes to date.

MJ_N_09 · 5 Feb 2010, 19:21 (Ref:2627445)

Done. Miccosucee has left Nascar. Almorola MIGHT leave the 09 now, if he already hasn't. He's apparently driving for Billy Ballew in trucks this year too.

**FIRE** · 5 Feb 2010, 20:16 (Ref:2627485)

Isn't that breach of contracts????

So big problems for Phoenix Racing and Kyle Busch Racing.

MJ_N_09 · 6 Feb 2010, 18:11 (Ref:2627965)

Also, on Media Day last Thursday, Robby Gordon stated that despite him not running the full season, his #7 will stay full time. He will likely have a 2nd driver in the car while he's off-roading.

MJ_N_09 · 6 Feb 2010, 19:26 (Ref:2628003)

Also, the wing will be back by the end of the 1st quarter.

MJ_N_09 · 7 Feb 2010, 00:20 (Ref:2628238)

I meant that the wing will be gone by the 1st quarter of this year. Will go back to the spoiler.

i wondered about your previous post. thanks for clarifying.
should be interesting what kind of racing it brings about.

MJ_N_09 · 10 Feb 2010, 19:37 (Ref:2630849)

Breaking news!!!! GWC may disappear!!!!! However, if the caution comes out after the white flag is waved, race ends.

Seems it wouldn't go away completely, but rather be extended to include multiple attempts at a green flag finish.

More info at NASCAR.com.

I'm all for it, finishes like the one we saw in the Bud Shootout is just a big anticlimax no one wants to see. Well, not one I want to see at least.

anything to draw attention to themselves...
