    Looks like it's Austin Dillon in the #14 for Michigan.

    Wow. Montoya out of the #42 car after this season. Christ I hope they don't plan on bringing Larson up already.

    Is this the end for JPM in NASCAR? Not many quality rides left out there for next race.

    Great win for the #20 team. 5 wins is huge for the Chase. Last 10 laps were awesome with Kahne breathing down Kenseth's neck. Probly should have just moved MK out of the way, but oh well.

    Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch is a damn good 1-2-3. Up there with Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, and Denny Hamlin as well as Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, and Jeff Gordon for best top 3 in the garage. Too bad Danica is 4 and not anyone good.

    If the egos can coexist it will be a damn good team. Not so sure throwing Kurt under the same roof as Tony and Kurt is such a great idea. Remember, this is more a Gene Haas hire than Stewarts, so I wonder how Tony truly feels about it.

    Wow, Gene Haas is throwing some stuff out there at their introductory press conference. Said Tony Stewart was a little upset when it was first mentioned. Haas basically said this is my team too, I'm going to sponsor it, and this is who I want in the car, so we're going to make it work. That's some balls to actually do it and then tell everyone that's what you did. Stewart and Haas are co-owners but doesn't seem like there is really any talking between the two.

    Pretty good article goes into details. I think Haas is Irk'ed about Tony being out with a broken leg. The co-owner likes Kurt and decided to put his own companies name on a 4th car.

    Good for him.


    part of linked article wrote: About a week later, Tony said, 'Okay, all right.' What are you going to do? Don't have much choice. It's a series of events. Chance meeting Kurt at the General Motors dinner, Tony being incapacitated where I couldn't talk to him. I wanted to do something. I stepped up and said I would fund it.

    "It's very difficult to find a sponsor in less than 24 hours. So we did that, too. We did a lot of stuff. That's why we're here today."
    In the press release announcing the move, Stewart was quoted as saying, “I’ve had a tremendous amount of respect for Kurt’s talent and determination for as long as he’s been racing in the Sprint Cup Series. Kurt is extremely knowledgeable, and his input will make all of Stewart-Haas Racing better.

    “When Gene Haas laid out his plans for what he wanted to do in regard to this race team’s future, which included bringing Kurt on board in a fourth car, it was impressive. You can’t stand still in this business. You have to constantly improve. Gene’s investment in this race team ensures the success of Stewart-Haas Racing for many years to come.”

    SHR will expand its physical plant with a new building on 30 acres the organization already owns. It will be competition director Greg Zipadelli's task to oversee the new car builds -- and to try to find a balance among four extremely competitive drivers.

    "We built a rubber room upstairs -- that's the first thing we did," Zipadelli quipped. "When you have four passionate drivers, I would much rather deal with that than to try to figure out how to get them going. You're born with that. The competitiveness that these guys have, that's what you need in this sport."

    Just saw it. That was a somewhat dirty move, especially since Ty is going for points and he's not. Chase is probably the replacement for Jeff Gordon once he retires and he's a crazy good talent, but not sure that was the best way to get your first win.

    Gordon spins tires on restart causing a bunch up....
