Lots of exercise, especially in terms of drivers / teams. The decision to leave JGR at the end of Tony Stewart, the matter has brought its impetus, probably because at JGR are two seats up for grabs, as stubbornly keeps the rumor that Gibbs will open a fourth team. I'm the state of speculation sake of simplicity times by:
JGR Racing:
As one considers the 18-year old Joey Logano just who is considered "the" miracle of NASCAR talent to put in the # 20. But while there are critics who say that the boy should not burn, where you can immediately take him to Kyle Busch. It would be better, perhaps, that he gets more confidence in the NW series, and from there from time to time in Sprint Cup is used. For this we would need to either find a "part time" driver or open a fourth team, which is used sporadically, but what is not worthwhile because of the cost. So if you want to take the risk of starting a fourth team, then you need a good driver as well. Juan Pablo Montoya will be there again and again brought into play, since Ganassi still nothing comes together and the Colombians are getting impatient. Another possibility would also be Ryan Newman and Martin Truex Jr.
RCR:
The fourth team is, you will have Kelloggs as a sponsor, but the question is, who you take as a driver. Here is a selection:
- Truex
- Newman
- Stremme
Stewart / Haas:
There are many indications that will go alongside Stewart and Ryan Newman at the start. But Truex is under discussion. There are so even a rumor that both come, and Stewart opens a third team, but he probably will not do time. If the sponsors line up but he could change his mind, perhaps.
Penske:
The departure of Newman at Penske and obviously hurts a lot is going wrong. I have not heard that a top driver has applied to take over from Newman. Truex is a possibility, but he's close friends with Newman and I do not think of his friend would give the Council to move to Penske. With the brand-mate of Ganassi you will probably not want to poach to get Montoya. May well be that Penske might snap Franchitti, Hornish but one has been one that has problems enough.
DEI:
It has a very good junior Aric Amirola driver, but it is thin. The team slipped further and further into the second division, which will probably be more drivers like David Stremme brought to the team.
As to the Chase usually all places should be allocated (because of the sponsor search, the budgets of most companies are strapped in October), the next few weeks will certainly be very interesting.
And what else?
Highway again tomorrow, so no update.

As I recently mentioned earlier, is the sponsor for the # 33 at RCR fixed for some time. General Mills will advertise the brand "Cheerios" on the Chevy:

It has even been officially confirmed!
Kellogg's remains at Hendrick and sponsors confirmed the # 5 car with Mark Martin at the helm along with CARQUEST, too, is:
