UPDATE 2: Sadler signed a two-year contract extension with GEM in May, and sources say team owner George Gillett will now be forced to buy out those additional two years. Sadler has already begun making calls to try and find a ride for next season. Sources tell Sirius Speedway that Gillett is heavily leveraged from the original Evernham buyout, as well as from a number of automobile dealerships he purchased earlier this year. He reportedly faces a major payment on his Liverpool Football Club, which plays in the English Premier League, as well. A deal that would have merged GEM with Bill Davis Racing fell by the wayside a few weeks ago, reportedly after Gillett was unable to obtain financing to complete the transaction. Gillett has recently been involved in negotiations to merge GEM with Petty Enterprises. Sirius Speedway reported two weeks ago that the merger had stalled, and while that report was immediately denied by a GEM spokesman, Sadler’s release appears to indicate that the deal is indeed in jeopardy. A combined GEM/Petty operation was expected to field four cars in 2009; enough to retain Kasey Kahne, Reed Sorenson, Sadler and Allmendinger. (Sirius Speedway)(12-29-2008)
I’m late but MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!
Okay, now, I’ll start with HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Just returned back home from celebrating the holiday with BOTH my daughters and family. Last time both daughters and I were all together on Christmas was in ‘92 so this was a real blessing. Hope all of you had wonderful days as well.
WCG, have enjoyed getting caught up on all the news as I read through here this afternoon. Thanks a bunch for all these updates.
Was 23 here when I got up at 5 this morning.... by noon it was 72. I love Texas. Don’t need no more of this sub freezing weather though.
Hey there, sounds like you had a fabulous Christmas!
Happy New Year to you as well.
Cold here this morning as well, not too bad tomorrow....daytime temps are good!
I’m glad you read the posts, I wonder at time if anyone does.

DAVIDSON, N.C. - As 2008 comes to an end, so will the Petty Enterprises that NASCAR fans and racers came to admire.

A deal was inked between Petty Enterprises and team owner George Gillett on Christmas Eve, but the terms of that agreement have yet to be divulged. A formal announcement is expected early next week.
The venerable No. 43 Dodge covered with the trademarked Petty blue glaze will become part of the Gillett stable with Reed Sorenson expected to be behind the wheel. Bobby Labonte, who finished 21st in the point standings, parted ways with the Pettys on Dec. 11 following a three-year stint in the No. 43 car.
Most of the remaining 39 employees at Petty Enterprises will conclude their duties at the Mooresville-based shop on Wednesday. The company moved from its original shop adjacent to the Petty homestead in Level Cross, N.C., in January to what was formerly the Yates Racing complex.
Robbie Loomis, Petty Executive VP of Racing Operations, is expected to assume a managerial role under the new partnership, which will likely be rebranded under the Petty banner. Former car chief Ray Fox Jr. will assume a similar role at JTG-Daugherty Racing with the No. 47 team.
David Zucker, who was named CEO of the team when private equity firm Boston Ventures purchased controlling interest in June, is expected to be reassigned to the Petty Driving Experience.
It will be when JJ wins another one...
Happy new year back at ya......... and everyone else too.
Pvt. R.D. Jackson CSA Marines Co. B sends his respects to you suh. The Happiest New Year to all y’all.
The “thumping” started here about 30 minutes ago. Sounds like your battery is hard at work. ;)
Sure wish these guys would learn to tell time.
I just realized you stole that Happy New Year! thingy from Jim Robinson. How could you do that ST...
It was easier than finding one of my own?
And I used it on Free Republic Nascar thread!
Happy New Year, everyone!
And back at you!
Oh, and thanks. :)
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
Oh, and it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. ;)
Oh boy! you just wait...
