MWR to two teams? to lose UPS? Toyota is expected to pair down Michael Waltrip racing from a three-car effort to a two-car squad, shifting some of that support to JGR's three-car team of Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin. Dale Jarrett is said to be seriously considering retirement, trading in his helmet for a microphone as a television analyst, which would leave MWR with Michael Waltrip and David Reutimann. There has been talk that UPS, unhappy with the lack of exposure the company has received this year from Jarrett's struggles to make races, is looking at other teams for 2008 sponsorship with Roush Fenway Racing a target, possibly for Greg Biffle's #16 entry.(RacingOne)(8-8-2007) I would really hate to see DJ retire after this year but I really don't blame him seeing how that team is running |

I wonder if he could replace Rusty lol. Although what I would rather see happen is Punch and Petree moved to the pits, Bestwick and Jarrett taking their places. |

That sounds good to me! And yeah, DJ hasn't been the same since about 2002, so I think it's time for him to leave. Of course he won't, he might pull a Bill Elliot/Terry Labonte/Mark Martin, but I don't think he's really gonna be a winner anymore. |

I wonder if it's about it makes too much sense or if it's more about it might add some charisma to the booth and ESPN is all about down with charisma. |

UPDATE: on Wednesday's NASCAR Now [ESPN2] Angelique Chengelis reported that Michael Waltrip Racing's Ty Norris said there was absolutely no morsel of truth to the rumor about MWR scaling back to two teams or Dale Jarrett leaving, plus Norris was at a UPS Sponsor summit and that UPS says things are going well.(8-9-2007) |
