My first thought would be Penske for the #2 car, but I actually would place my bet on........DEI! Face it, KB is not that popular. Between his run-in's with Spencer and his tantrums with NASCAR officials, he doesn't get a lot of love. Moving to DEI would give him instant support from Jr nation. Just look at how fans voted Truex into the Challenge race this year. Why? No Cup poles, no Cup wins. But he drives for DEI and that's all that matters. I wish KB the best of luck, but I think he is leaving the best fleet of cars in Cup. Maybe the best is not good enough when you have 4 teammates with the same stuff.
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.
