hwytohell Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Sadler did run the big show for different teams. Yes , the young wheel men are out for any drivers current ride, if they can bring sponsorship dollars to the mix. francecar will never see again the big driver payrolls of the past, Gordon , Johnson , Ejr. At age 40 you will be done unless you are winning 3- 5 races per year or can finish in the top15 or have a past championship provisional under your ass for a team to try and make bank at select races. A little known side fact is , when UPS decided to pull out of the francecar big show, they wanted Dale Jarrett to run the truck series fully funded in a Ford, as he was thinking retirement anyways and his pride , he said no and then used his past championship provisionals to get Toyota - Michael Waltrip racing into cup. And we all know what M.W.racing did with his golden goose. An Toyota marches on today. Edited August 16, 2018 by hwytohell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be a veteran like Kahne would get a decent ride.

hwytohell Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Very few drivers that once had upper tier equipment under them , can drop down into a field filler team and be happy with themselves. Kahne , I believe has made the correct choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Gibbs is the guy that changed the programs that were in place for upcoming drivers in francecar and brought it to a top level. Gibbs has talent to burn in the lower series ranks, and his current big show drivers better be aware of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
