MrRangersFan Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 So back to the whole Edwards situation... This is pure speculation here, but what if Edwards takes over the 18 car while Kyle drives the 4th car, being the #54 Monster Energy machine? The only other thing I can think of is Edwards driving the 54 for Gibbs, which sounds much more likely now that I think about it.IMO,in 2015 Cousin Carl will probably drive for the 33 car of RCR or the 12 of Penske. IDK where he will go. It sounds better with Carl going to Penske because Carl drives a Ford for Roush but IMO he will be as good as he did with Jack Roush. But will Fastenal be his sponsor in 2015. Yes. It will look weird driving a 12 car. What will it look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvrdgsfn Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Well, wherever Cousin Carl is going, it won't be in a Ford, so we can rule Penske out. This came out after Roush's announcement...Jamie Allison, director, Ford Racing - "Carl Edwards has been a part of the Ford family for a decade, and it will certainly be tough to see him leave Ford and Roush Fenway Racing. During Carl's time with Roush, he has represented Ford Motor Company with the utmost class, both on and off the track. We at Ford Racing did everything to facilitate keeping Carl a part of the Ford Racing & Roush Fenway family, but in the end that option did not come to fruition. While we are disappointed in his decision to leave Roush Fenway Racing, we certainly want to extend our appreciation for Carl's contributions winning races and a NASCAR Nationwide Series Championship in a Ford, and especially for his outreach to Ford fans. That said, with this decision out of the way, our plan for 2014 has not changed. We will go forward strongly with our stated goal of securing a NASCAR championship for Ford.With that said, I think we all know where he's going. He's been wanted by one team ever since his first rumblings into Free Agency and that other team has been wanting 4 cars the whole time... He's going to Joe Gibbs Racing. It's the worse kept secret in NASCAR today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Richard Childress Racing could use some experience. Carl in a Chevy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Fox NASCAR people are ardent that Edwards is going to JGR and Toyota. And, I tend to believe them, since those most vocal on it have a relationship with Toyota. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Marcos Ambrose may be on his way out of RPM and NASCAR and onto Penske racing back in Australia... So that could possibly open up the possibility of Richard Petty opening the 9 or 19 to Edwards... But it does seem like Joe Gibbs Racing is the better option for Edwards.

Needschat Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 News: Hamlin team gets a P5 penalty for Indy. Loses 75 points, crew chief/car chief suspended for six weeks, Grubb fined $125,000.I guess NASCAR knows how to levy fines better than the NFL Oh what could have been....

BengalsJunkie Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Maybe if when Ambrose leaves, Petty gives up the 9 to Hendrick to use when Chase Elliott comes up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRangersFan Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Richard Childress Racing could use some experience. Carl in a Chevy?Yes I do think Carl will drive good in a Childress Chevy. They have Austin Dillion,Paul Menard,and Ryan Newman (the latter two have won the Brickyard.)But having Carl Edwards driving the 33 for RCR sounds right enough. But who is gonna be his primary sponsor next year (IMO Cheez-It/Frosted Flakes)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicageaux Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Maybe if when Ambrose leaves, Petty gives up the 9 to Hendrick to use when Chase Elliott comes up?I thought Nascar teams are only allowed four drivers now or are you implying this will happen after Gordon retires?

Either Gordon retires or Kahne is booted I say Kahne leaves and Chase gets the 5 for a year or two then once Gordon retires, so does the 24, Petty sells the 9 to Hendrick, thus resulting in Hendrick fielding the 5 (possibly), 9, 48, and 88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drives the 54, primary sponsor would most likely be Subway and/or Kellogg's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Speaking of JGR, one thing that surprises me is that the Mars company that sponsors Kyle Busch (and formerly Elliott Sadler) is that they have not once had a Milky Way/Twix sponsored car. M&M/Snickers are the obvious cars that are driven here, but I think it's a missed opportunity. I think it would look cooler than the lame Combos cars.

Ty Dillon doesn't necessarily have to follow his brother to RCR... Take a look at the Busch brothers... Kyle is with Joe Gibbs and Kurt is with Stewart-Haas. If I was to guess about Ty Dillon I'd say that Hendrick could take a look at him to drive the 5 and boot Kahne out in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
