11:21 AM ET 10.24 | Could Earnhardt Ganassi Racing fill the void at Ford Motorsports? Given the current financial crisis at George Gillett's Richard Petty Motorsports and the probability of only two cars in the stable should the company move forward, Ford certainly has room for an additional organization to join the fold. While Chip Ganassi brushed off the possibility as "just a rumor" last week at Charlotte Motor Speedway, sources told FOXSports.com that Ford initiated discussions with the team in July, and a decision could come as early as next week at Talladega Superspeedway.

wow, ganassi subscribing to Robby Gordon and Rusty Wallace NW game? giving up on the partnership with Childress is a huge throw away. even to get tied in with Ford and Roush and Yates, at this point. FR9 is starting to show some balls, but not dominating.

All is well in Nascar now, Jooonya led some laps. The crowd went wild, the tee shirt guy sold out as all the fair weather fans AMPED up. Our taxes will go down, unemployment will drop, minimum wage will go up, terrorism is over, world hunger is ended, all is well in Joooonya Nation. Just joshing LOL It was nice to hear the names Hermie Sadler and Ken Schrader during the race. The nice part was that Ken finished 18th and Hermie was 28th. Good for both of them. Gibbs had an awesome day. Logano keeps getting better. I even heard some people talking about a Cup win for Jooonya next year.

LMAO! But there goes the "Draft" too, cause it doesn't work under 100 mph. It'll be more like a parade than a race. But then what can you expect from Brian France?

Looks like he is giving the high fives to the lovely Theresa. They have done well this year. Good solid team, if they can get Montoya to get a few better finishes, they will be all set.
