These are some of my guesses as to what may happen during the 2010 silly season and where the Cup drivers and sponsors will be at for the 2011 season. *please provide your own opinions also*
00- Reutimann already re-signed with the team for next season. Aarons sponsor
09- If kasey kahne doesnt get this ride then i think James Finch will either close the team down/sell it off, or possibly run Landon cassil in the car or another cup driver wanting to race but has no ride.
1- Mcmurray re-signed for 2011. Bass pro shops stays after the success Mcmurray has had this season. Mcdonalds and other small sponsors will be on the car.
2- Brad Keselowski in the #2. *which i disagree with 100%, nothing against Brad but i think the #2 is better with Kurt in it*
5- Martin stays to his contract for 2011.
6- Ragan in his last year with the team in 2011. After 2011, i think Ragan will be out of Cup completly, he hasn't preformed well except for 2008. I see him going back to Nationwide or Truck full time in 2012, but 2011 he will be back with roush #6.
7- Im not certain what Robby Gordon will do for next season. Hes run a few races with no sponsor, and i know he will not start and park his car. Either he'll run a lot of races unsponsored or he will run part time or shut down the #7.
9- Marcos Ambrose drives the #9. As far as sponsorship, Stanley tools which they still have another season with RPM signed becomes the new sponsor for the car, basically all the #19 car sponsors join onto the #9 for 2011.
11- Hamlin stays
12- Penske loses verizon as a sponsor, and closes the #12 team. Or if Verizon stays or if Penske finds a new sponsor he will run Justin Allgaier in the car.
13- Papis stays
14- Mobil 1 joins the team/organization since old spice leaves at the end of 2010.
16- Biffle
17- Crown Royal and Valvoline return on the #17 car next season.
18- Kyle Busch
19- Team closes down, all sponsors go to the #9 team. As far as Elliot Sadler. I think he will be driving in the truck series with KHI in the #2 truck for next season. Why i say this you may ask? I think elliot sadler has reached an age where hes just not as competitive as he used to be in the Cup series, yes the #19 team is struggling and has been struggling but i think Sadler needs to be driving else where then cup. Plus he won the truck race at pocono the other day and has had great runs in the truck series for KHI.
20- Logano
21- Heard a rumor that if they can find more sponsors they will return to a full schedule with Bill Elliot next season.
22- Kurt Busch, shell/pennzoil
24- Jeff Gordon, Walmart joins the team *i read on jayksi.com that walmart has signed a deal to work with hendrick next season for all 4 cars*
26- Stremme possibly back? im not sure on this one but stremme is my best guess.
29- Budweiser joins the team
31- Jeff Burton
33- Clint Bowyer
34- Kvapil stays with the team
36- Mears remains at TBR, however i don't think that TBR may be around come the end of 2011, due to the team having sponsor struggles.
37- Conway and extenze back again.
38- Gilliland
39- Mobil 1 joins as a part time sponsor for the #39 and #14.
42- Montoya gets a different crew chief. I some how dont see montoya and Brian Pattie getting over the Indy incident all to easily.
43- Allmendinger resigns.
46- Yeley remains with the team.
47- Bobby Labonte joins the team
48- Johnson
55- McDowell remains at the #55 but since the team has an alliance with MWR, Trevor bayne runs a few races in the car possibly?
56-Truex Jr
66- Blaney
71- Mike Bliss joins the team. TRG and Bliss worked together in the Truck series a few years ago and had success or moderate success.
77- Team closes shop Hornish goes back to Indy car instead despite that he said he would stay in Nascar.
78- Regan Smith
82- Scott Speed is out of the car as Hendrick has worked out a deal with red bull for Kasey Kahne for one season. Idk why but i have a good feeling that Kasey Kahne is more likley to be here next season then the #09.
83- Vickers retunrs to the team. If he doesn't Sorenson is named as the new driver.
87- If Scott Speed stays in Nascar, he could work out a deal with Nemechek since the #87 has an alliance with Red Bull
88- Earnhardt Jr
90- IF and thats IF the team gets sponsorship and returns Scott Riggs becomes the new driver for the Car.
98- Menard stays in the #98 car. Or if RCR expands to a fourth team *jayski.com* Menard would drive the car since he carries sponsorship with him.
99- Edwards stays.
*NEW TEAMS*
10- *read on Jayski.com that in 2010 a new team with RCR cars will run Terry Labonte in 3 races - Richmond, Lowe's/Charolette, and texas. Menard could drive this car for the full season 2011 possibly.
76- *read on jayski.com, that this team is going to be fan owned and fans can buy ownership like stock with the team. Unknown as far as a
