So this Allemendinger going to the 22, and hten Kurt Busch to the 51, leaves open the question of who will drive the 43????


I say Ricky Stenhouse Jr.... I knwo Roush was looking for a place to put the guy, and was considering having the pair trade the 21 back and forth over the year. David Ragan and David Reutimann are floating around out there.

 

any of them are ok choices, but not great ones.
Ricky has the potential, but Ragan and Ruti, although I do like, are hardly going to have what it takes to build and get that car winning again.
imo, i would hold off putting anyone in the 43 until a big name driver became available.
i dont think sponsorship is there so park the car for season.
And then try to poach someone like (and i dont know if the contracts are up but) Biffle, Burton, Hamlin or maybe even McMurray
If not, then find someone new hotshot in the lower rookie ranks and start rebuilding with them.
They must have scouts and such looking for drivers.

 

The 43 hasn't been a contender in 30 years. I don't see why that should change now....

 

maybe The King will drive the 43 again.lol I think Kurt has the potential to be a good driver with any team even tho I don't like him. I think that team isnt gonna do much next year.
