If I was J.D. Gibbs or Home Depot, I'd feel pretty pissed off after standing behind Tony through all his crap, supporting him through 2 championships, only to see him just totally walk away. He's been lucky enough to have the same team, same sponsor, same crew chief and more for his entire NASCAR career and now he's going to crumple it all up and chuck it in the garbage because he wants to own a 3rd-tier Chevy team. Well, hope you're happy Mr. I'm-37-and-still-single-so-I'm-not-doing-something-right...

More notes if this is true:

Scott Riggs will be looking for a new ride...

State Water Heaters will be looking for a new team...

Penske will be looking for a new driver and a new sponsor for the current #12, or face contraction back to a 2-car team...
