I would be surprised if they bailed on DEI too, but BPS and Tony have had some history, and he'd be much more visible than Truex, I think. Then again, BPS and Truex have been together for a while too. Should be interesting to see what happens here, but this sounds like it's probably just more crazy speculation. bossford wrote:

We'll see how he does when he gets to Cup when he is no longer the driver with the best EQ on the block.

NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Mark Martin has called Joey Logano "the real deal". [2] When Logano was 15, Martin said "I am high on Joey Logano because I am absolutely, 100-percent positive, without a doubt that he can be one of the greatest that ever raced in NASCAR. I'm positive. There's no doubt in mind."[1] He was top driver in 2006 GM Racing Development Driver Evaluation program, which led to him being signed with Joe Gibbs Racing. In 2005 he ran in 1 FASCAR Pro Truck Series race at New Smynra, started 1st and finished 2nd. He raced in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series. He raced seven races in the Northern Division races winning once at Mansfield, two Southern Division races, and five Championship Series races. In 2006 he continued racing in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series. He raced in twelve Southern Division races, winning twice at South Georgia Motorsports Park and at USA International Speedway. He ran in one USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series, Northern Division race and six Championship Series races. A new 2007 NASCAR rule allowed drivers 16 and up to race in the Grand National Division, and Logano easily took advantage of the new rule. Logano finished the 2007 Grand National season with 13 starts in Busch East Series, winning 5 races, 3 poles, 10 Top 5's, and 10 Top 10's, and winning the championship with wins at Greenville-Pickens Speedway, Iowa Speedway, two wins at New Hampshire International Speedway, and Adirondack International Speedway. He also has made 1 NASCAR West Series start, started 2nd and won. On October 20, 2007, Lagano won the Toyota All-Star Showdown at Irwindale Speedway, leading 87 laps and held off Peyton Sellers for the win. JR/HENDRICK FAN wrote:
