Dario gets David Stremme's ride in '08.

Contract or no contract. All Bryan has to do is keep turning heads. He will get a cup ride if he keeps his nose clean and keeps striving.

Luckily still. Nascrap isn't all about money, It helps for teams like Hendrick and Gibbs but theres still rides for standout drivers. Im actually waiting for Tony Stewart to start his own NASCAR team so when his contract with Gibbs is over, He can either drive himself or put the drivers he has in development in. Honestly, I know his heart is in the short tracks.

As long as he stays away from anything to do with toyota haha.

Way to go "Puff".

You got the pole, now just bring home the :checkered:

I don't get that. Honestly within Two years I bet you'll have Toyotas on 1/3rd of the poles.

Toyota got the shaft quite honestly. They intended on entering Nascar with their truck engine, Then at the last minute Nascar told them it was illegal and they had to scramble to come up with a different program. They've been basically running the whole cup program this year with their Bush engines.

Also starting teams in a season that is fielding two different kinds of cars is a added burden. Twice the testing needed ect.


Chuck

What I meant was stay away from the toyota teams that are running this year. Im sure tony stewert will win in a toyota next year. The only 3rd of anything a bill davis or micheal waltrip car will finish is the bottom third.

Bryan Clauson (qualified on the pole)but was forced to relinquish his starting position prior to the race after the team changed engines.

“I definitely learned more from coming from the back, but as the race went on I could have learned just as much up front.”

Bryan Clauson ended up finishing 11th.
