Some rides for 2013 still up in the air: | 2013 NASCAR NEWS

Posted by:

| 05:44 PM ET 12.19 | A year ago at this time, dominoes seemed to be tumbling all over the NASCAR world. Kurt Busch's departure from Penske Racing led to AJ Allmendinger's move from Richard Petty Motorsports to Penske, followed by Aric Almirola's move to replace Allmendinger at RPM. It seemed like there was a move or two every day, and the news was endless. This year? Not so much. Aside from a couple lower-series moves there haven't been many post-Homestead driver changes. [But there are some] possible open seats at full-time teams
BK Racing: There's no reason Landon Cassill and Travis Kvapil wouldn't return to BK Racing in 2013, but the team hasn't finalized its drivers for the #83 and 93 cars yet.
Tommy Baldwin Racing: It seems likely #36-Dave Blaney will return next season, but it hasn't been announced.
Phil Parsons Racing: Will Michael McDowell return to the #98 car? It hasn't been made official yet if so.
FAS Lane Racing: Ken Schrader will be in the #32 car for select races, and the remaining schedule will be filled by yet-to-be-named drivers.
Joe Falk Motorsports: Stephen Leicht won rookie of the year honors for the #33 car. The team's 2013 lineup has not been announced.
Phoenix Racing: Will Phoenix Racing even come back in 2013? It's not certain team owner James Finch will return, and what driver will be behind the wheel if he does

When McDowell was at MWR....I was keeping an eye on him.....thought he had a lot of potential......but he has floated around in mediocrity since the.......but I still hope he gets a better ride than S&P.

Another MWR cast off, Reutimann is still waiting for his deal to be finalized........he's another one that is floating around in mediocrity.

Good for Schrader for doing a "Martin".

One nice surprise last year was Regan Smith.....looking forward to seeing what he does next year.
