Tony Stewart at RCR would be just down right nasty, that would be the second best team of drivers out there.

That would be an awesome team. Tony in the 33 would make RCR downright fierce.

Now this talk of Tony wanting to go back with Chevy, and team ownership being thrown around, makes be think of Dale Sr.'s deal where he drove for RCR but started his own team DEI. Granted they were both GM teams.

Now I'm not saying Toyota would like one of their star drivers starting his own team with GM, but It would keep him at Gibbs until his contract is up.

Than he'd be freed-up to drive for his own team at the end of the '09 season.

Just thinking out loud.....

What I don't get is this...Tony's been driving for his buddy Kevin Harvick in the Busch (oops, I mean, Nationwide) series off and on for the past couple years. I would think that he would notice the success that Harvick has had with his company - and compare that with Robby Gordon, who hasn't tasted that same kind of success as an owner / driver at the Cup level. Now granted, Smoke is looking for a majority ownership deal - maybe not full ownership like Robby...but still, I would think that would weigh on his decision at least a little.

But I'm sure the potential ownership of his team is exciting...much like it would be exciting for me to start my own business.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

Default Stewart to buy Haas-CNC; Newman to drive second car...  
Just read this on Jayski:


Quote:
More on Stewart and Haas CNC UPDATE done deal?: Tony Stewart is shopping for car sponsorships in anticipation of a potential partnership with Haas CNC Racing, multiple sources told ESPN.com. Although Stewart has a year left on his contract at Joe Gibbs Racing and JGR officials insist he hasn't asked for a release, the two-time Sprint Cup champion appears prepared to share ownership of Haas Racing's two-car team in 2009. One source close to the situation said there have been discussions with Ryan Newman as the second driver. Newman has said he will not return to Penske Racing if the performance of that team doesn't improve quickly. Newman's name definitely would help draw sponsorship to Haas. "He's talking to every major sponsor that is available out there for this Haas deal," one source said of Stewart and his representatives. "I don't know if it's done, but it sounds like it's very close." Office Depot and Old Spice have emerged as the favorites for at least one of the cars. Office Depot lost its bid to remain with Carl Edwards of Roush Fenway Racing when Aflac was chosen as the primary sponsor of the #99. Sources said there have been discussions with Stewart's representatives that would make Office Depot and Old Spice co-primaries with Office Depot as the lead sponsor. Old Spice already has a relationship with Stewart in the Cup and Nationwide Series. Stewart would not address his future following Sunday's race at Infineon Raceway. JGR president J.D. Gibbs insisted Stewart had not closed the door on signing a long-term deal with the company that brought him to Cup racing in 1999 and helped him win titles in 2002 and 2005. But there is widespread speculation that the reason JGR has rushed Joey Logano into the Nationwide Series is to prepare him to take Stewart's place should Stewart leave. Stewart admitted two months ago there had been inquiries from other teams. He acknowledged there had been talks with Haas CNC that included ownership.(ESPN.com)
AND: am hearing that Stewart leaving JGR and buying into Haas CNC Racing is a done deal, supposedly the 2nd driver could be Martin Treux Jr. Hearing the sponsors could be UPS and Bass Pro Shops.(6-26-2008) Comment here
UPDATE: supposedly the deal is done, earlier Friday, a source close to the situation said that Chevrolet has agreed to terms with Joe Gibbs Racing to buy Tony Stewart out of his contract with the #20-Toyota Sprint Cup racing team. Stewart will indeed be making the move to Haas CNC Racing, a rumor that has been circulating for months. Supposedly Stewart’s new sponsor will be Office Depot and terms have been finalized regarding the impending sponsorship. In addition, Stewart will be joined by current #12 Penske Racing driver Ryan Newman, who would be sponsored by Burger King. No word yet on what car numbers the drivers will run and an announcement could come as early as next week at the Daytona International Speedway.( Captain Thunder)(6-27-2008)



This is a huge deal if it is true, and it sounds as if all of the details are present. I wonder who'll jump in the 12...Mears, perhaps?

Geez, with Hendrick backing that could become a power team if that is all true! Just really leaves a ??? now as to who could end up in the 5 car if the rumors about Mears being out are true.

Default Um...loyalty?  
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...

This could be cool. Stewart would really be helping Haas CNC out BIG time.

about Mears, he is leaving, at least that's what nascar.com said, rumors are RCR in 08.
Wonder where Newman or Truex will go if he leaves? maybe a switcheroo between their rides?
