Stewart leaving JGR??
Stewart leaving JGR??
from www .jayski,com
Tony Stewart is shopping for car sponsorships in anticipation of a potential
partnership with Haas CNC Racing, multiple sources told ESPN,com . Although
Stewart has a year left on his contract at Joe Gibbs Racing and JGR
officials insist he hasn't asked for a release, the two-time Sprint Cup
champion appears prepared to share ownership of Haas Racing's two-car team
in 2009. One source close to the situation said there have been discussions
with Ryan Newman as the second driver. Newman has said he will not return to
Penske Racing if the performance of that team doesn't improve quickly.
Newman's name definitely would help draw sponsorship to Haas. "He's talking
to every major sponsor that is available out there for this Haas deal," one
source said of Stewart and his representatives. "I don't know if it's done,
but it sounds like it's very close." Office Depot and Old Spice have emerged
as the favorites for at least one of the cars. Office Depot lost its bid to
remain with Carl Edwards of Roush Fenway Racing when Aflac was chosen as the
primary sponsor of the #99. Sources said there have been discussions with
Stewart's representatives that would make Office Depot and Old Spice
co-primaries with Office Depot as the lead sponsor. Old Spice already has a
relationship with Stewart in the Cup and Nationwide Series. Stewart would
not address his future following Sunday's race at Infineon Raceway. JGR
president J.D. Gibbs insisted Stewart had not closed the door on signing a
long-term deal with the company that brought him to Cup racing in 1999 and
helped him win titles in 2002 and 2005. But there is widespread speculation
that the reason JGR has rushed Joey Logano into the Nationwide Series is to
prepare him to take Stewart's place should Stewart leave. Stewart admitted
two months ago there had been inquiries from other teams. He acknowledged
there had been talks with Haas CNC that included ownership.(ESPN,com )
The latest rumor is it's a "done deal" with Haas.

I'm not completely shocked... I'm kinda not surprised at all. The
writing has been on the wall for awhile now. It's a huge risk, but
has the potential for turning out very well for him. I wish him the
best of luck, being an owner / driver doesn't appear to be an easy
task, but if anyone is up for the challenge, I would put him at the
top of the list.

I think there is still a very real possibility that Tony could do the
owner-driver thing the way DE did it. I can see him driving for HMS or RCR
while being a part owner of Haas-Stewart Motorsports or whatever they might
call their partnership.

could be.... but I believe that the future success of Haas Stewart
partnership would be contingent on signing a top level driver, and
they're not easy to come by, nor would one be easily convinced to join
a new team. Since Stewart is about as big a name as they could
possibly get, it makes more sense to me that he would end up driving
for the Hass-Stewart team.... besides, they could probably get him at
a good price... ;)

No shit jpchick!
But i just can't believe TS thinks he can do better than, e.g. Robbie Gordon.
2-car teams will be gone after 2009 when Roush must get down to 4 from 5.
If TS wants to compete with KHarvick in lower series, i can see that.
But TS will prove once & for all the old axiom:
I ferget, but it's something like: how to turn a large fortune
into a small fortune? Become a NA$CAr Owner.
