More on Gibbs to Toyota..done deal?; HOF to RCR engines?: hearing the decision has been made and that Joe Gibbs Racing [#11, #18, #20] will switch from Chevrolet to Toyota in 2008 and the announcement should come in early September. AND: Joe Gibbs Racing still hasn’t announced whether it will switch to Toyotas next year, but the buzz is that it will. Some clues? Tony Stewart’s souvenir trailers were selling merchandise at 50% off regular price last week at the Brickyard, Stewart’s home track and a place where the Hoosier native is wildly popular. Also, a source at Richard Childress Racing said it has been approached by Hall of Fame Racing, a satellite Gibbs team, about buying engines from the newly merged RCR-Dale Earnhardt Inc., engine operation in 2008. Presumably, HOF is hedging its bets, if it ends up not being part of a Gibbs move to Toyota.(Ford Racing)(8-6-2007) notice the article is from ford racing |

So? Ford does plenty of reports and rumors concerning other teams. Eh, if Toyota finally starts to run well, it increases the chances of Honda coming to NASCAR. Sure, they say that they only race to improve technology, but I'm sure they could justify it by making it part of the advertisement budget. |

UPDATE 2: Kyle Busch has finally decided where he will race next season, agreeing to a deal to drive the #18 Interstate Batteries machine for Joe Gibbs Racing in 2008 and beyond. Busch will replace J.J. Yeley, who will move to Wood Brothers/JTG Racing next season to steer the #21 Ford. Busch made his decision after recently narrowing the field to three teams; Gibbs, Dale Earnhardt, Inc., and Evernham Motorsports. An official announcement is expected within the next 2-3 weeks. In addition, JGR will jump from Chevrolet to the Toyota camp beginning in 2008, joining Michael Waltrip Racing, Bill Davis Racing and Team Red Bull on the list of teams running Toyota Camrys. Neither Busch nor JGR have made any official comment on the move, but Gibbs officials have already informed Hall of Fame Racing that they will not continue to provide the team with engines next season, prompting Hall Of Fame to contact Richard Childress Racing about a similar engine-supply deal for 2008.(Motorsports Soapbox)(8-6-2007) |

Now I can 100% despise that team. Yeley just wasn't worth the effort.

Toyota is going to put a shit load of cash into making JGR the best because they'll be the focus. Even though JGR was great with Chevy, they had HMS, RCR, and DEI competing for dollars and support (although they worked together in several aspects)...anyway... |

Told you guys that JJ Yeley's stuff was on 50% off. Although Tony's too was 50%
But with JJ going to the 21, I don't think it becomes more clear as who's going to drive that 8. You guessed it: David Stremme :woot: Unless they want to go with an older driver with Greg Biffle. Either way :woot:

It will be the downfall for sure. If they end up with a decent driver though I think they'll be one of the top teams again. |
