Busch, Penske testing for '09 season
Kurt Busch and his Penske Racing team are already working to get prepared for the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, testing today at the new half-mile track located just outside the backstretch of Rockingham Raceway Park in North Carolina. NASCAR's 2004 Cup champion isn't taking the final race of this season, Sunday's season-ending Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, lightly after coming off a runnerup finish last Sunday, but the team is looking for improved results next season.

It was great listening to Kurt's interview after the race Sunday.. It is nice to see that at least one of the Busch brothers have grown up and became a man instead of a spoiled brat!!

The Penske organization will be the comeback team of 09.
Roger penske has been in the racing game longer than most of us have been alive.
You want to be impressed go to this link.

These guys will figure this car out and will go on one major tear and I can't wait to see it.
I like Newman but he is going to regret leaving this first class organization.

Do you think that there will be any changes to the COT before the 2009 season starts?

Yes, and after it starts, and at the half way point, and right before the chase, and before the '10 season... etc etc etc

so lets see, penske has Kurt Busch, and Sam hornish Jr for next year??? sounds like they are going to need at least another "big" to "bigger" name to drive with them, or that team will be the next petty team

NAW I don't think so... Look for more Newman next year, I like the chap as well. There is something to be said about these IRL/Indy owners (Chip & Roger) they have more stock in other forms of racing.

IN OTHER NEWS
MIAMI -- Teresa Earnhardt and Chip Ganassi will combine their slumping race teams next season, an effort to stabilize their organizations in a tough economic time, The Associated Press has learned.
The combined team will be called Earnhardt Ganassi Racing and will field cars for Martin Truex Jr., Aric Almirola, Juan Pablo Montoya and a driver yet to be named, two people familiar with the decision told the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal has yet to be announced.
Both organizations have struggled to secure sponsorship this season, forcing the teams to pool resources.
Truex and Almirola will come from Dale Earnhardt Incorporated; only Truex's car has full sponsorship for next season.

So much for a 'dead' deal, huh? EGR racing. What happens to 'DEI'???? Bet Teresa wants $100mil from Jr for the rights too! She singlehandedly KILLED this proud team/company. I felt truly sorry for her when Dale was killed, but she should have kept JR!!!!!!!!!!

Totally agree, Nas_88. P issses me off. I like Truex, but am no fan of Almirola, JPM and probably not of the driver to be named later either! Truex gets screwed for being loyal to (what was DEI). $@$%@#@#@!
