    Nationwide/Farmers insurance sponsor Hendrick cars. I understand the conflict but I'm sure there will be some type of contractual agreement in 2017 with monster/5 hour on same team. Has it been confirmed Monster is sponsoring in the Xfinity series as well? What's the contract between the 54 and Monster I wonder.

    Looking bad for the Gibbs teams:

    "A close inspection of photos taken by Kickin' the Tires appeared to show they were altered in a manner that made them look concaved. A source in the garage, who was watching the situation play out, explained that some type of resin or Bondo was used to misshape the splitters in a manner to let the car run lower to the track. The source said the resin would wear down easier and not impact the handling of the car as it went into the corners."

    Clint is moving to Stewart/Hass in 2017 and bringing " 5 Hour Energy" with him a primary sponsor. :thumbsup:

    Why would Monster leave Kyle for Kurt ??? Who offered Kurt the "seat" in the # 54 :confused: Why not reap $$$$ in all 3 segments ;truck Xfinity and Sprint !!! Look at what they do for Kawasaki teams and every other venue they sponsor..........their PR people "get it done" :thumbsup:

    Not saying Monster is leaving one for the other, was just wondering if anyone knew the situation for next year with Kyle in the 54, and how far that is contracted.

    hope they stay with Kyle!

    they all cheat.. Ask Richard Petty if he cheated...

    well that REALLY shouldn't affect Kurt... Because Monster and the Busch brothers have been going for a few years...

    Remember, the 33 is a satellite team for RCR. It's "owned" by RCR's longtime business partner Joe Faulk. The cars are prepped at RCR. Ty and Austin have run the 33 in the past.

    makes more sense... I thought they meant he was headed somewhere with no RCR involvement. Then again he is very lucky to be sponsored by bass pro... my dad says the bass pro guys get access to the best lakes where your guaranteed a 10+lb bass.... lucky bastards... BTW anyone wanna get a Tacoma, drop a 454 in it and get sponsored by huddle house and race?!!! classmate just told me about that motor... its like a mini nascar engine!

    No penalties against JGR for their splitters.

    Wothout cup drivers in Xfinity, very few would watch and sponsors would disappear.
