One or the other, A.J.!!

[Bill Wicker]

It's time for A.J. to decide if he wants to race Nascar or the IRL.
Doing both just ain't working. He used to be very competetive in the IRL, but ever since he started doing both, they suck! As tight as A.J. is, he'll probably never be competetive in Cup racing, so why not just sell it and take the procedes back to Indy and win some races again.

And what's up with allowing Larry to race at leval he's nowhere close to. Just because he promised him? Well, he got to race Nascar. Now get him out of that car before he hurts himself.

Little A.J. needed to stay in the Pro Series at least a couple more years, but he is getting better. He's just a little too green, IMOHE.

If Foyt does sell the NexCar Cup team I'm sure it will have a lot to do with the fact that Conseco probably won't be back to pay his bills like they have for the last couple of years. And after their recent performances in Cup it might be pretty hard to get another sponsor to match what Conseco was spending. The Foyt team did not suffer from any lack of funding.

This year Conseco is on the IRL car , Harrah's is on the Cup car.
The team sponsor switch was supposedly worked due to Harrah's wanting to be in WC and Conseco not being able to fund it at the level it had previously.
The story I've read is AJ didn't want Larry to move up to WC this year but Harrah's wanted a Cup car as opposed to staying in BGN.
If AJ didn't have a car Harrah's would go elsewhere. I've also heard that what got Harrah's a primary sponsor position with Foyt would be an associate sponsor on the top teams.
As for what Conseco was spending , I've heard from people who usually are accurate that Conseco was putting little to less than little into the IRL team.
That being said , I'd be happy if AJ dumped the WC team and concentrated on the IRL.

After saying NASCAR was crooked, fixed or whatever the actual quote was...If he stays after THIS season in NASCAR, I'd be surprised.

I would HOPE that concentrating all his efforts on the IV and his ride would improve things quite a bit.
