JohnMickish Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Since there is no real talent available for next year, what do you guys think will happen to these seats now? I think both will be filled with a lameduck driver until something good comes along. Maybe McMurry (sp?) will take the 2 until Sam Hornish is ready for it. Hornish already drives for Penske and that was rumored a few years ago.As for the 6, I think Marlin will get the ride for one or two years until they can find a good, young hotshoe to fill the seats.

sheepheadslayer Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I think you will see J.J Yealey come around pretty soon. Great dirrt driver but having a tough time on the tar. Also would like to see Danny Lasoski run Busch, he is a great driver that i think can make the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bill Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 This may come as a surprise, but Rousch Racing has been talking to Truex Jr. about filling the #6 seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Wettschreck Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I agree Dawg. Cravin would do well in the 6 car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bill Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 They outta put Reed Sorenson in the #2.The kid would be a great investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepheadslayer Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 how about a mike garvey. Gotta go local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I don't think that they will put Craven in the 6, and if they do it won't be long term. He was one of the "lame duck" drivers I was thinking about. Truex would be good. I really think they are looking for young and talented.Craven will be a good fit in the truck series but he still dosen't have a win. Second in points yes but no wins.

Sifty Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Trying to think of the guys out there that have Nascar experince. Ward Burton , John Andretti,Skinner, Benson, Spencer,. I guess If one was to go that route. I like to see Ward get back into a car.Sifty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdog Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 How could I have forgotten Ward Burton??? This is a guy that definely deserves a good ride. He's a Daytona 500 champion a Southern 500 champion and he won a few other races too. Besides that, look at where he always ran good and it was low grip tire saver type places. I would think this new rules package would fit him real well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Ward should probably be in a ride but I don't think he's maga-dollar sponsor material. It's not his fault but his speach just isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Just heard during the truck race that Kevin Harvick is in negotiations with Penske for the #2 seat. That will be interesting because of his truck and busch teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
