Who’s out? I’m out hunting.

 

Thank you

 

Any time brotha

 

Looks like Kaulig is putting AJ back in the Xfinity car fulltime and promoting Hemric to Cup next season. IIRC, AJ prefers the reduced Xfinity schedule and funding has been an issue on the Cup car. Hemric, while not being bad, (or great), is bringing funds and will take the seat fulltime next season. Another part of this is CHandler Smith may be shuffled out as he was expecting a Cup opportunity with Kaulig and it's likely not in the cards.

As much as I like AJ, Kaulig does need some success at more than just road courses. I believe the team has the right attitude and right ownership to be competitive. But they need a few more pieces yet.

 

Hemric already in the 31. The 16 is TBA although they already know who it'll be.

 

Sad to see him having step back down to the Xfinity series but he should be a title contender down there. I'm sure he'll be back for the road courses and possibly pick up a win or two. Been a fan of his since his Champ Car days.

Hmmm. Gragson maybe?

 

Gragson surely fits the RCR mold with his attitude and personality. I also think he brings a winning record coming from JRM when he ran in Xfinity. Zero wins for Sheldon may have been a disappointment. Maybe there were too many expectations on him coming from the trucks?

Sheldon is so low key but a good dude and solid driver. He'll find a home.

 

No wins, but he's had a pretty solid year outside that. Maybe they'll put someone in Xfinity I can get excited about. Austin Hill is good and all, but I just can't get behind him like JHN.

 

JGR?

 

I have a theory... more of a hope actually... but maaaaybe.......

 

Go 5!!!

 

Woohoo
