Blaney's NASCAR future in doubt

Dave Blaney knows he'll be involved in racing in some capacity in 2009, but that's speaking in general terms. It could be in NASCAR Sprint, Nationwide or Trucks series or it could be as overseer of his 14-year-old son's super late-model short-track activities. Following the last of 36 Sprint Cup races at Homestead Miami Speedway on Nov. 16, the Hartford native reflected on the 2008 season, but, more painfully, gazed into auto racing's crystal ball. "I'm ready for a break," said Blaney, who finished 31st in the owners' points standings. "I'm glad it's over." The uncertainty of his place in NASCAR's top tier is utmost on his mind.

I don't think Bill Davis will be running cup in 2009.
CAT won't be their sponsor that's for sure.
