    Guess they were relying on Andretti... seems like such a waste if the manufacturer wants to be there.

    I was thinking the same thing. I guess this means no Andretti team... and also a 4th Gibbs car for Kenseth?

    I don't blame him. I'm not really a fan but the kid deserves a cup ride. Probably very hard to get the best team around you when you have two strong team mates like Hamlin & Kyle.

    Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware of the rumour.

    yeah i mean he hasnt told its penske thats the 2nd option, but he said he has another top team that has an offer on the table, so thats only logical its penske...

    like he said, at this point in his career why should he take a stepback?

    now if JGR got sponsorship for a fulltime 4th car they would gladly let him run all season, but thats just not on the table at this point from all ive heard

    Andretti announced they were not coming in for 2013 a couple of weeks back Matt.

    Had not read the Logano to Penske stuff either... but think that would be a good fit for him. Not really sure why he has never fired fully at JGR.

    Still wondering where Kurt will end up too.
