Furniture Row Racing weighs driver options
There's suddenly another open seat in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series now that Joe Nemechek and Furniture Row Racing have parted ways. Though the Denver-based team is planning only a limited schedule for 2009, the opportunity to pilot the organization's No. 78 car could be attractive to several Cup drivers who are currently without rides. Those include sophomore drivers like Rookie-of-the-Year Regan Smith and Michael McDowell, as well as veterans such as Sterling Marlin and Scott Riggs.

It is going to be interesting to see what happen over the off season.
I have moved from "hating nascar" to a more "wait and see" attitude as to where it stands come Feb. 2009

Put Regan Smith in there and a back row car becomes a middle of the pack car, and perhaps at times a top 10 car.
FLOAT; glad to see you are going to stick around. Try it, you'll like it. LOL

I like what this writer wrote, "the 78 car could be attractive to several cup drivers who are currently without rides" well DUH! Any driver without a ride now is scrambling to find one, no matter how crappy that ride it is.

I would be glad to have sterlin marlin in a car ... everyone seems to be real quick to axe drivers who are older that 19 hollering "put a young driver in there" well that is what has changed nascar to france car is all these drivers who are still wet behind the ears, give me a driver who is seasoned with lots of seat time. yeah younger drivers have made a wave in francecar but when the chips ae down where ae these kids at??? standing by the car going "what just happened?" look in the past say 10 years at the young drivers who were supposed to be the "new drivers of francecar" where are they now? theres lots of then looking for jobs sweeping the shop, which is where they should of started to begin with.

i didnt know riggs was 19? i thought he was well into his 30's. he's been around for awhile and in my opinion he did a darn good job with the equipment he at haas. id love to see sterling marlin in a car. but it look at the last 2 years with smith and riggs. they get into a car and get kicked out

I wasnt refering to Riggs.........and he didn't do so good when he was in the 10 car at G.E.M.....
and since Sterlin left the 4 kodak car with runt pitman engines he hasn't done much at all....but he can still drive!!!!
