Menards sponsorship to Penske in 2008? John Menard is reported to be considering moving his sponsorship from Dale Earnhardt Inc. [#15 Paul Menard] to Roger Penske’s Dodge team, with Penske expanding to a three-car operation. Menard, according to sources, has chopped his list to two owners, and it appears that #7-Robby Gordon is no longer in the running. Menard, who is supporting son Paul on the Cup tour at DEI, has been reported interested in purchasing DEI from Teresa Earnhardt [which has been rumored many times but always denied](Winston Salem Journal)(6-23-2007)
Yikes
More on Gibbs to Toyota...done deal? Extending Stewart to 2011? Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota are “a done deal” for 2008, according to several sources, though team executives said otherwise. Apparently one hangup in the talks between the long-time Chevy operation (which features #20-Tony Stewart) and Toyota is a clause in Gibbs’ current GM [Chevy] contract which bars the team from negotiating with any other manufacturer until the contract is up. So sources said Gibbs has had to go through an agent in the talks. Gibbs has a major negotiating session scheduled with General Motors in the next two weeks, which should provide the ‘yea,’ or ‘nay’ on that side of the issue. One of the big reasons for Toyota’s intense interest in Gibbs Racing is Gibbs’ engine program, headed by Mark Cronquist, one of the best in the business. Gibbs is also renegotiating his contract with Stewart to extend it another two years. The contract runs through the end of 2009; the new package would run through the end of 2011.(Winston Salem Journal)(6-23-2007)
Quite interesting...in a year, will DEI still exist?
Teresa has made a horrible mistake.
Milwaukee Mile tonight!~
She will probably end up just being an entertainment business which is what she accused Jr of trying to be.
Steveegg is at the race tonight.
Navy qualified third. :)
I love this man already!! :)

Kentucky Cup race? Vegas 2nd race? NASCAR executives may be ready to settle one of those thorny legal situations they face, according to sources who say that a settlement with Kentucky Speedway could be coming — by adding the 11/2-mile track south of Cincinnati to the Nextel Cup tour next season. And there is also an unconfirmed report that NASCAR could be looking at adding a second Nextel Cup event at Bruton Smith’s Las Vegas track for next season.(Winston Salem Journal), so what tracks lose a date?(6-23-2007)

Didja ping the rest of the Racin’ Rascals?
Let me find my ping list.
PING for Busch race Milwaukee on ESPN2
Aric Almirola will drive the #20 since Hamlin’s helicopter couldn’t land because there were cars parked on the helipad.
He’s had a really bad day, got up lae, had ignition problem on the Cup car and now this.
Thanks for those article quotes. Lots of changes comin'...but I hope Jr. in the 8 stays the same. I hope Rick Hendrick can make Teresa an offer she can't refuse.
That was another Sauter singing.
She was better than her sister ? last night.
Your’re welcome on the articles. Lot’s of stuff going on already this year with a lot of teams.
How COOL for Aric...he’s practiced and q’d the car so it’s fully right that he get to run it! Hamlin shows up now in the pit all pouty!
I think he probably wishes he had stayed in bed this morning. :)
And what’s with all the fuel stops on the Roush planes? Like they said they need to upgrade.
I guess there are no caution laps in the sky!!
