Looks like some date simply switched around, but the CTS adds Pocono, and drops Fontana.

Morgan-McClure Motorsports is up for sale

from Tri-Cities Artcle via Jayski:

For nearly 25 years, there was a steady hum of activity inside the sprawling Morgan-McClure Motorsports complex. The daily routine included roaring engines, busy mechanics and urgent phone calls. The scene inside the raceshop Monday was far different. It was mostly echoes and memories of faster days.

unless a sponser comes through, i guess it will be all she wrote.

Sterling Marlin had the best points finish in 1995 with a 3rd.
Three Daytona 500 victories and 11 others to their create.
ahhh....the old glory days with Swervin Irvine.

that's

that's what the sport is missing....moustaches!

I guess SHR can now get their #4 from MMM that they wanted so bad.

Mark Martin apparently isn't leaving full-time NASCAR racing again anytime soon.

On Friday, Hendrick Motorsports announced that Martin has agreed to another contract extension, keeping him in the organization's No. 5 Chevrolet through the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season.
...

Friday's announcement came in conjunction with the naming of a new primary sponsor for Martin for 20 races beginning next season, GoDaddy.com, one of the leading Internet domain name registrar sites.

Good riddance Kellogg's livery!

**FIRE** · 18 Sep 2009, 20:51 (Ref:2543606)

Never liked the Carquest colors in combo with Cheez-It/Kellogg's.

MJ_N_09 · 18 Sep 2009, 21:02 (Ref:2543611)

I guess ol' Mark will be sporting black colors all the time next year. I remember a couple years back when the Carquest colors were black, which I assume they will go back to.

fieldodreams79 · 19 Sep 2009, 02:20 (Ref:2543682)

like mark in black and glad that he has extended the relationship with the enemy.

Boring livery.

Should have just stayed black like BK had it last year. I guess ugly, gaudy schemes exist to help the spotters watch the cars they are assigned to, but all they need to do is just look at the numbers plastered all over the car. Simple, and needs no neon yellow or lime green.

Neil22 · 19 Sep 2009, 21:00 (Ref:2544040)

Put some of those red wheels on it, I mean, it's so ugly it can't hurt.

it's definitely noticeable!!

Uhoh, 2 liquor companies leave Nascar. JD and JB both gone. Jim Beam will instead sponsor, off all things, Kid Rock's world tour.

**gomick** · 21 Sep 2009, 22:49 (Ref:2545549)

How many songs does Kid Rock have - a world tour

Biggy G · 21 Sep 2009, 22:51 (Ref:2545553)

Couldnt believe that livery for the Go Daddy car, its soooo boring, and their other cars have always looked so good. Its just another boring Jr. style livery

That one song where he says his name is Kid Rock, and one where he says he wants to be a cowboy....

the Jack car is the best looking car in the series. makes me thirsty.

wonder if RCR will drop the number 07 for another black car number.

MJ_N_09 · 23 Sep 2009, 17:34 (Ref:2546787)

The number will more likely be reverted back to #30 than that. With JD leaving, Mears is likely out. Labonte and Mcmurray are rumored for this ride. Labonte has ask.com still with him, so this is likely who gets the ride is Mears is dropped.

jab · 23 Sep 2009, 21:18 (Ref:2546973)

Does this actually mean Mears might actually get ride befitting of his talent (or lack of)?

I can live in hope
