I think this has a lot to do with Chip...He never has paid top dollar for his drivers...this is way he can separate himself without looking cheap...He could not or would not get into a bidding war for Kyle with Stewart or Hendricks...I am thinking McD's called and said we have a problem and Chip was thinking this is his way out, while keeping a sponsor..I also think mountain out of mole hill- Iracing? who really or how many watch?....and this will all be forgotten soon....Kyle maybe cheaper now for Stewart to sign but company's will want to be on a young winning car..either way....
