I don't think him owning a Chevy team while driving for Toyota would fly for either Chevy or Toyota. Dale Jr just said the other day that running a Nationwide team is as expensive almost as a Cup

There hasn't been any indication that Stewart has been trying to get out of his contract and now he has confirmed that. But he does want to own a team. Question: Would Chevy be kosher with an arrangement like this?[/quote] This is what I've said he should do all along. The driver/owner thing rarely works out like you see it going in your head... Just ask Robby Gordon or Awesome Bill how owning and driving your own car goes. Sr did it the right way and that's what I hope Tony ends up doing as well! Kenneth - ARS Editor wrote:

Sr did it, other's did it, but that was a different NASCAR, that was a different Sponsor pool, and that was a less PC era. Do a truck team, do a Nationwide team, but do not do a Cup team when you are still racing in Cup. Also Kenneth I guess this puts to rest (well probaly not) any possible rumors that JPM was looking to go to JGR, that might have started because of his dinner with JD the other day.
