I saw Junior tweeting about @Deac08 racing Late Model's on Saturday night and had to look him up. Name is Deac McCaskill from Raleigh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deac_McCaskill), gotta like the name.
Jr. lobbied hard for it. Good for Alex.
So who will nab Kenseth? He may not be a spring chicken but he's still got plenty left in the tank.
My thought is the 5 car will be Byron's to lose. He still needs a year or so in Xfinity, so Kenseth will go to the 5 until Byron is ready. There are some pretty heavy rumblings that Kahne will go to a new GMS Cup team to help mentor Spencer Gallagher, all while focusing on his sprint car team. IMO, Gallagher is a lost cause, but its his daddy's money he's spending, so oh well.
In other news, RPM is searching for a sponsor to get Bubba in a cup ride for next year. The rumors of Almirola taking Smithfield to the 10 seem to have calmed down recently.
Happy for Kahne. This was Busch's race to lose though.
Ryan Preece is running Bowman Gray stadium this week, and probably next for the 150. He is probably bringing some of his Yankee buddies for a Northern invasion. They are looking for some late summer fun.
Damn what a restart by Larson.
