Just some very interesting reading about the McMurray/Ganassi contract and Rusty Wallace. We all know that McMurrays name has come up several times as replacement for Rusty in the #2 Dodge and we finally get his take.

"Even though Wallace sold his ownership stake in Penske Racing to its namesake, he called McMurray's decision a major blow to the team's plans to replace him for next season.

(Rusty:)

"That was a disappointing deal," Wallace said. "Because we never even talked to Chip Ganassi or (co-owner) Felix Sabates because they're great friends of ours. I told Roger I was not gonna touch that because I love Chip and I love Felix.

"McMurray would have definitely been our No. 1 choice. But then when I found out that McMurray was working on a deal with the 6 car and that he was going to leave no matter what, I feel like maybe we should have (pursued him).

"At that point, if I'd have known that, then we would have talked to Jamie or talked to Chip and said 'Hey, your guy's leaving no matter what -- can we have a shot at him?'

"But we never even went there because it wasn't worth it, you know? I've got mixed emotions on that whole thing." 


and: "We might be teammates, we might not, His deal starts in '07, and mine is done in 06," Matt Kenseth says of Jamie McMurray.

Maybe. Matt was also mad that Jack told the other four about signing McMurray, but not him.

Matt isn't going anywhere. TRUST ME. He and Jamie obviously can't see each other face to face but they both will get over the little fiasco by 2007.

I don't have to worry about that because I'm 99.9% sure Matt ain't going to another team.

The only thing I see making him leave is if Jamie got better $$$$ numbers in his contract and Matt doesn't because he has all the right to ask for money then Jamie because he's a past champion and has more wins, TOP 5's, TOP 10's, most laps led.....you get the point.

And if Matt leaves I'm pretty sure he'll go to RYR, he has said endlessly that he loves the Yates engines and that he and Doug hang out every now and then. So either way I'll be pulling for Matt.

Well you kinda have to say that when all you've had is Roush and Roush/Yates engines. :o

yeah I know but he and Doug are pretty good buddies and I've read where Matt and Katie spent Thanksgiving with the Yates so that alone tells you that they have a pretty good connection.

Matt's just trying to make his value go up, same as with Truex.

If Matt were to go to DEI then he'd be the #3 guy after Earnhardt Jr and Truex Jr so it's really not a whole lot of gain. I'd love to see him being teammates with his bud but for his best interest I don't think he wants to go anywhere but Roush. Maybe RYR...maybe.

Well even being the #2 driver would be better than being the #5 in line.

and how do you know he's #5 in line? because he's the guy struggling the most? All Roush Racing drivers have said numeral times that one of the reason they love this team is because they get equal parts regardless of where you are in the standings. the only time I recall giving a guy a better equipment was last year with the new cylinder head but that was because they hadn't made enough for all teams to use.

Matt isn't going anywhere. qoute me!. QUOTE ME! :yup:

And when was the last time you ever heard one driver complain because they didn't get the same equipment as the primary driver? My point exactly.

i personally think he is 4th in line

Biffle, Mark, and Rubberhead are all getting better stuff. And Carl may go in front of Matt soon too

and bullshit. I don't believe all these where-are-you-in-line bullshit. He's running great prior to Pocono. I still believe he'll win at least 2 races this year. (indy and Kansas) and he's going to tracks he usually does well like Phoenix, Richmond, Charlotte, Texas and others.
