Who knows? However, Banye is rumored to be making his Cup debut at Texas, either with a 5th Roush car (a 5th car is allowed for a part time rookie), or the Wood Brothers.

Some news:

(Nationwide)Looks like Allgaier isn't coming back to Penske next year, as the team doesn't have sponsorship in place.

Also, Nascar is going to an E15 fuel blend for all the top series next year, and will also have fuel injection in Cup by the Summer.

thats a bit unfortunate, hopefully he gets a ride somewhere. Spent all their money on Kez have they?

**gomick** · 18 Oct 2010, 05:18 (Ref:2776439)

Pity for Allgaier, young talent coming through the ranks hopefully not missing out on a drive in 2011...

MJ_N_09 · 19 Oct 2010, 03:44 (Ref:2776929)

Yeah, Verizon isn't coming back, so this leaves at least one Penske car unfunded and unlikely to come back in Nationwide next year.

**gomick** · 20 Oct 2010, 09:32 (Ref:2777431)

Wonder if Verizon will stay in Indy Car with Penske

MJ_N_09 · 22 Oct 2010, 21:44 (Ref:2778551)

Update: RedBull to run 2 cars next year. One is the 4 (was 82) with Kahne, while the other is Vickers with the 83. Speed officially let go for next year.

**GTRMagic** · 22 Oct 2010, 23:24 (Ref:2778581)

Will there actually be a Richard Petty Motorsports team next year?

MJ_N_09 · 28 Oct 2010, 02:49 (Ref:2781436)

I wouldn't doubt the king to get something together for next year. Also, Paul Menard's number will be the 27, not 32 as we all thought.

Verizon is tried of it's hands being tied by Sprint in Nascar (I believe no on site advertising is allowed). The Indycar team sponsorship might be two cars next year.

MJ_N_09 · 28 Oct 2010, 23:12 (Ref:2781851)

Yeah, I think this is why many sponsors like AT&T went away. That whole "Official XXX of nascar/exclusitivity" thing is really working against Nascar, I think.

FPV8U · 31 Oct 2010, 08:55 (Ref:2782831)

What of the talk of Ganassi to Ford during JPM's Pole Lap?

**gomick** · 31 Oct 2010, 09:04 (Ref:2782838)

Reckon a Ganassi Ford will be quick...

FPV8U · 31 Oct 2010, 09:32 (Ref:2782857)

#42 Ford Fusion sounds sweet to this JPM Fan!

**GTRMagic** · 31 Oct 2010, 12:42 (Ref:2782916)

The noise around the death of RPM wont go away, indeed even Mr Ambrose is staying in the US in case he has to scramble a new deal together Here

Where is the next seat in blue oval colours should the RPM boat sink?

**FIRE** · 31 Oct 2010, 13:06 (Ref:2782921)

Back to Wood Brothers

Sounds ok if they can take Stanley Tools along with them

MarcosAmbroseFan · 31 Oct 2010, 22:17 (Ref:2783151)

Stanley's sponsorship is $10 Million.

Which is ~$5m short of a full program

**gomick** · 1 Nov 2010, 00:25 (Ref:2783192)

Hopefully the RPM stuff is still only rumour & Ambrose will be in the #9 Stanley car in 2011...

was of the belief from reading somewhere that the Stanley sponsorship was only for the majority of events, not for the full season?

FPV8U · 1 Nov 2010, 03:39 (Ref:2783213)

Would Wood Brothers #21 will A Full Spec Roush Chassis & Roush/Yates Engine Program be an option and would it bring results?

Axeman444 · 1 Nov 2010, 04:02 (Ref:2783216)

All depends on what they are doing with Bill i guess doesn't it

MJ_N_09 · 4 Nov 2010, 13:50 (Ref:2784913)

For the Wood Brothers, nothing announced yet since January, when they were thinking about running full time for 2011. No idea if it's still happening. Elliot was in 'Dega for Latitude 43, maybe there's a something in the works between the #21 and #26?

Also, the possibility of a short cup grid is becoming more real, with the Petty troubles, and now Robby Gordon not running his team full time next year.
