One rumor is that Carlos Slim wanted Daniel Suarez in a Cup car so Edwards was basically forced out and that he'll be with another team in 2018.

I was never a Carl fan, but the field has lost a lot of talent/history with Smoke and Edwards gone for next year. Sucks.

Stop me if you've heard this one before:

quote:

Sources said that stakeholders across the industry including teams, drivers, tracks, media partners, Monster and NASCAR have been meeting to discuss the prospective changes which involve the format of the races themselves and how points are awarded for them. If implemented, the changes could address the length and format of Cup races and may result in race breaks, similar to other series where "heat" formats are used to break up the competition to feature multiple, shorter races rather than one longer one.

Yup, the RTA's master plan of having only the 36 chartered teams racing against each other is pretty much inevitable. Great job keeping teams afloat - except for HScott, TBR, Hillman, etc.
