Not exactly the most shocking news, but should trigger some movement in terms of silly season.

Here's my story on the move. Any thoughts about where Kraig might end up? Does this speed up the transition to him taking over the 11 Quaker State ride from his dad?

Kraig is really a nice guy. I hate to see this happen to him but he will land somewhere good soon. Maybe a second car for Steve's team or maybe he runs full time and Steve runs partial schedule? Will be interesting to see how it pans out. Best of luck, Kraig!

I heard they built him two new cars for the final race at Charlotte and then gave them to new girl to drive? Kraig ran the old stuff and then got his walking papers?

Pretty much saw this coming since about June. Kraig just hasn't gotten "it" back since he came back from pavement. I will say that nobody has really got that 20 car to go that well though. The Dude had one good season in it and that's about it. I do give them credit for at least finishing the season with the driver they signed.

I'd say Q has a big say as to whether he takes over the #11. They probably want the King to keep going. I hope he lands somewhere good.

Jessica Zemken was added as a third car to the TSR team and will run both 360 and 410's....

Had nothing to do with Kraig's deal.....

She ran HER own car and used one of their motors at Charlotte. Not sure how next years deal works with her, I think it's them helping her out on a bigger basis. She's a pretty neat kid, does this deal mostly on her own and works hard on and off the track to do. And she's pretty smart when it comes to making deals to be able to race.

Never understood why he was put in the car to begin with. No offense. Wish I had a famous last name that landed me rides.

Yeah because it had nothing to do with the fact he was 2004 rookie of the year, or won the 2005 Knoxville Nationals or has won several WoO A-mains. Not to mention looked pretty damn good while trying NASCAR, too bad he was tied to Ginn on that deal. Kid is a good shoe, just was never the right fit at TSR.
