I guess Earnhardt driving Kyle Busch's car few months ago kinda makes sence now.
Ford should try to get Kyle Busch.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in Roush as Biffle's replacement (who's probably leaving for Dale Earnhardt Inc.).

I like Biffle too, but he sucks this and last seasons. He was 2nd in points in 2005, but he sucks since then.
I would like to see Todd Kluever from Busch in Nextel.

It's funny when a driver starts to do bad all of a sudden there is talk about changing teams.. Look at Jr. when was the last time he had a year like this?? I guess when your heart is gone form a team it's gone from a team... Very Sad indeed.

I don't think Junior is bad this year, he's 14th in standings and only 55 points out of chace for the cup.
In 2005 he was 19th and 2753 points behind Tony Stewart who won the cup.

I didn't realize he did so poorly back then, I don't follow him all that much but it just seems he has been plagued lately with bad finishes. I like Todd too but you don't hear all that much about him and thats a shame...

Kluever was supposed to be Mark Martin's replacement, but his driving in Busch series were so poor that Jack Roush gave David Ragan the job.

I just remembered something.
Jeff Burton said that Richard Childress Racing will get 4th team in 2008. People expected Junior to be driver of that 4th team, but now that Junior signed with Hendrick maybe Kyle Busch will be driver of Childress' 4th team.

This is very good news as far as I'm concerned. Now I'll get to see what Jr is capable of (no more excuses that he didn't have this or that).
I think Kyle end up at DEI. Hopefully Hendrick and DEI will be able to swap numbers (#8 for #5). It would be nice if both Bud and #8 are on the Hendrick car. Bud has a history with Hendrick, maybe they can make it happen again. I've never been a big cornflakes fan.

Kyle Busch hates Fords. There was a long running debate between him and his brother (Ford Vrs Chevy) in their house as kids. I can't see Kyle driving anything but Chevy, but of course back then if you'd have told me Kurt would be driving Dodge, I would've laughed. Today, he drives Dodge. Unsuccessfully that is. He was a championship driver at Roush in a Ford and now he hasn't even won a race since getting into the Dodge.
Another couple rumors I've heard:
Toyota is courting Gibbs for next year. If Gibbs goes Toyota, that will take them out of contension for at least a season or 2.
I've heard there is a possibility that Ryan Newman will step away from Penske and get with DEI. That could lead to the brothers doing Dodge with Penske. I think together they'd be more of a disaster than Bodines but who knows.
As for the Hendrick team, I just don't see how they'll be beatable now with this latest development. DE Jr will bring even MORE money to that already pathetically rich team. I would consider it a juggernaught among dingys in the sport of NASCAR at this point.
