    For some reason or another Edwards and Biffle have been Jack's main guys while Kenseth has been the odd guy out the last few years, Rousch has a history of kicking good drivers to the curb over the years like Jeff Burton, Mark Martin. At this point in his career I think this a great move for Kenseth.

    Wasn't Gibbs going to add a 4th car? I thought there was talk of it last season when Edwards was up in the air about where he was going to go.

    I would like to see Kenseth on JGR, my favorite team as well.

    Im sure they would if they could line up sponsorship for 4th car

    Maybe get dollar general on cup car as opposed to nationwide

    This is probably about making Home Depot happy. Win Win for JGR.

    He's never been really quite right for the home handyman demographic.

    I meant Logano isn't a good fit.

    Can see Matt being fine for them, ad work wise.

    Has there been many Logano Home Depot ads apart from those initial ones with all the staff supporting him?

    It should have been obvious when he said "I am going to a new team" I guess.

    Yeah that is what I just saw. Nothing announced yet, looks like next weekend, but Matt has pretty let the story out now. Could be interesting, im not a fan of Andretti management, hopefully it works out. Looks like Petty involvement to some degree as well.

    I wish Petty could have just settled down with the same engine for another year or two.

    Moving to a well funded ride as team leader might have been appealing.

    Never know, in 20 years Andretti could be the Hendrick of the sport and Kenseth might have a part of it too.

    True, will it be just the one car next year?

    Don't know. I'm just assuming it's true still.

    I'd also assume there will be some linkup with RPM to make it a psuedo 3 or 4 car team to start with.

    Actually, Kenseth's comments could be interpreted another way as well.

    He said he is going to a new team. That doesn't necessarily mean a new organisation like Andretti-Dodge. Could be a new team with Joe Gibbs...

    Could see Andretti hiring Kurt as his radio talk no worse than Marco Andrettis
