As far as Penske I think their was always conflict there with Rusty and Jeremy and then Rusty and Ryan. it has never been roses. I think Roger should have shut the doors long ago. I remember when things were so bad that Rusty and Jeremy had to ride on separate Golf Carts to their autograph sessions and Chris would park the souvenir trailers away from each other just to keep them apart.

I don't think it will be Jimmie Johnson taking the cup from Kyle I think it will be like last year--one of his teammates. We probably can all guess who I think that could be and it isn't Denny Hamlin! After all I am Smokesbiggestfan! I heard Penske has been ill can't remember what the particulars are. Penske ruled Indy car for years with drivers like Rick Mears, Sam Hornish Jr and of course Helio. He also has been disliked in Indy car by guys like Chip and the Andretti's because of his lobbying. No one could beat him for years. AGR and CGR have raised the bar in Indy car but neither CGR or Penske have kept up in NASCAR. I am not only a NASCAR fan but I follow open wheel racing avidly also. This is where I began following Smoke and I had lost interest in NASCAR during the 90's because I was busy raising my family. Smoke brought me back to both and for that I am grateful. I agree with Howie that Smoke will make this work. I think what happened to Jeff Gordon last year will happen to Kyle.

I don't think so, maybe just beginning should be the right words to use.as far as Tony being one of the great ones, he is on his way 32 wins and 2 championships. for all you people out there who call your selves race fans if you think Tony will fail you will all be eating your words next season.this isn't Michael Waltrip were talking about here, this is one of the smartest men in the garage area and as far as anyone in the sport the only 2 people that would carry this sport on into the future after Sr. died was Tony and Jeff and everyone I know still thinks that.this team is just an extension of HMS, that's all. the motors and chassis are the same as Jeff's, Jimmy's, and Dales. and for the people out there that think he will get 2nd rate equipment. think again. every motor that comes off the bench at HMS is within 5% of each other. Stewart / Haas will be a mega team within 2 years with full factory backing from Chevy. this deal has taken 8 months to finalize and Tony is already dropping by the shop and making his present know. JD made a big mistake going to Toyotas, his dad said on saturday that he wanted Tony at JGR till the day he retired and we all know that JD and his decision making caused this breakup and now he has to live with it. JGR might have some good drivers but if you ask around nobody thinks they will get a championship this season. 4 Speed wrote:

Newman is leaving Penske. I can't blame him I have never cared for Roger Penske. He thinks he is God in the IRL for many years. I adore Ryan. He is a terrific young man with intelligence and that is what attracted him to Penske but now he sees that he is an after thought. Since Kurt came over it's been more about him. I loved him winning Daytona but it's apparent Penske is not giving him what he wants. Going to Tony will also open up his engineering knowledge to the team. Ryan could move on to that when he is done driving so maybe he saw no growth at Penske but with his fellow Hoosier and Stewart-Haas he sees this. Ryan is a smart man he will make the right choice for him. Well now that we have all the track ownerships straightened out and the fact that Smoke is not fat let’s talk about what the article states!
