Principals at Earnhardt Ganassi Racing are expected to meet with Toyota again on Tuesday. EGR has had discussions with Joe Gibbs Racing about supplying engines for next season. Apparently Toyota Racing Development, which provides Michael Waltrip Racing and Red Bull Racing with engines, does not have the capacity at this time to be a supplier for EGR.

Dale senior is turning over in his grave. To see anything with his name on it that doesn't include Chevrolet is simply blasphemous. Shame on you Theresa!

EGR is what three cars and Toyota cant supply them? Also what does this do with the contract they have with RCR? IMO EGR is a dying team and wont be around in another 2 or 3 years.

Headline-Earnhardt Ganassi to Toyota?
Can you say, "Chevy is pulling out because EGR's future is grim?

Brad Keselowski will start his new job at Penske Racing a little early.

Keselowski will drive the No. 12 Dodge for the final three NASCAR Sprint Cup races of the season, replacing David Stremme.

Keselowski, who won the Cup race at Talladega in April, signed a deal in September to take over the No. 12 in 2010. Team owner Roger Penske opted to bring Keselowski in ahead of schedule so the driver can get jump start on next season.

The 25-year-old Keselowski is currently ranked third in the Nationwide Series points race while driving for JR Motorsports. He'll drive the No. 22 Dodge for Penske in the Nationwide Series next year.

Stremme was 31st in points through 33 races this season.

Penske announced the change on Monday.

Is Brad going to be the next Kyle Busch?
Think about it.

I thought about it and he is what Nascar needs right now. He kind of got off on the wrong foot Sunday, when he booted Kurt Busch. That's his new team mate. Keselowski will be good for Nascar. He just might be the next Kyle, he has the talent and he has parted ways with Jr.
Sorry, Float, you left the door open for that.

Dale SR is DEFINITELY rolling in his grave.. holy crap

November 3, 2009  11:10 AM ET

if they do this I will never watch Nascar again. Theresa has run that company completely into the ground since Dale Jr departed.

I totally Agree!!!!!

Sounds more like TRD doesn't want anything to do with this lame duck team. Montoya has been the only bright spot for this team. Teresa has alienated every fan of her late husband and they are now following other drivers and teams. She is getting closer and closer to achieving what we have all expected....The complete demise of Dale Earnhardt Inc./Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing. Look for a stellar lineup next year of Montoya and McMurray at EGR. I am sure the sponsors are lining up for that one.

Theresa's final act of irreverance will be to change over the Museum cars at the Garage Mahal to Toy......

I cant even say it!

Door open? I put up such a big sign, even JR could find it! LOL
