"I think you are right. Not the kind of company man Penske would like. Might not be enough room for another angry driver at Gibbs. If it is true, he will totally eclipse Junior, who is talented, but way overrated."

I agree with the Penske statement. Plus, Penske (especially the #2) hasn't shown a lot of muscle except when #12 qualifies.

Gibbs doesn't seem like the place either. B. Labonte and T. Stewart have both won championships so there's no instant marketing value by hiring Busch.

As for Ganassi......Why would anyone want to drive for a team that Felix Sabates is involved with?

The DEI thing is just too juicy because he would be a recent Cup champion on a team that frankly looks lost.

The only other outside possibility I can think of would be something at RYR. It would keep him with Ford and could be tied into DJ's retirement plans. But, the strife that would occur between Yates and Roush would ruin their engine relationship.

We are both surprized.
