Yep. It was announced right after the Daytona 500."It was actually fun, because you're back fully driving again in these trucks. Ninety percent of the tracks we go to in the IRL, you're flat-out. I was having to lift off the corners some here." - Buddy RiceComment

Yeah, but to me the surprise of the week was Carpentier - 8th today and starting 12th tomorrow.

I heard that both Skinner and Johnny Benson would be in the 27. Villenueve MIGHT be back in it, if they get a sponsor.Comment

I don't know if canned is the right word. According to Davis he needs to bring in Skinner and then Benson because they both have some sponsorship to bring. Or else the team will have to shut down.Originally posted by rrrrI saw a blurb in today's Dallas Morning News that Bill Davis has canned Villenueve and replaced him with Mike Skinner.

From Nascar.com
"[Villeneuve] has all the tools in the world to be successful down here, we just have to have money to do it on," Davis said. "The sponsorship dollars have just not come -- they haven't been there and they're not there. We've got some little [sponsorship] deals for these other guys that can get us along for a short period of time.
"I promise you, if [Villeneuve] called tomorrow and had a sponsor, we'd be all set to go."Comment

Are you allowed to say that in speaking of NASCAR?Originally posted by dog-ringComment

Not so much. Benson and Skinner are Davis' regular Truck drivers, and there's no "buying" there.Originally posted by dog-ring
As I speculated earlier, there may be a PITA factor with Villeneuve that detracts from any willingness to run him without a sponsor."It was actually fun, because you're back fully driving again in these trucks.

Based on everything I have read related to the subject, yes.Originally posted by dog-ringComment

Hmm. I'd be surprised if Bill Davis was charging two CTS drivers on his payroll for the privilege of driving a mediocre Cup car. It just doesn't make sense because Skinner and Benson have both been there and done that--Cup racing that is.No man can cause more grief than that one clinging blindly to the vices of his ancestors. - William FaulknerComment
