Hall of Fame Racing could move to Toyota

Hall of Fame Racing managing partner Bill Saunders said the goal of his team remains to finish the season in the top 20 in owner points. The #96 DLP HDTV Chevy is 26th in the standings after driver Tony Raines finished 15th at Pocono last weekend. Saunders denied an Internet report this week that Hall of Fame Racing was talking to Richard Childress Racing about using their engines next season.
“We’re with Joe Gibbs Racing, and I don’t know where any of that came from,” he said. Saunders said if Joe Gibbs Racing decides to switch from Chevy to Toyota, Hall of Fame Racing would do the same as a satellite Gibbs team. Saunders also said that it’s written into Raines’ contract that if he finishes in the top 20 in points, he’s guaranteed a spot behind the wheel next season. If he doesn’t, Saunders said, the team will assess his performance and make a decision on 2008 after the season.

Looks like Toyota has opened up the checkbook even more if Gibbs drops Chevy for them. Im sure they overpaid to pull that off.
Hall of Shame needs to do something.
Go to 2 cars next year. Raines and Fellows.
