BAM Racing is skipping Texas & Phoenix. I really hate to see this; NASCAR cannot afford to keep losing teams. I thought the COT was supposed to help contain the costs. UPS also has said they are looking for a rock star type driver like Dale Jarrett. Carl Edwards has been mentioned among others. Loosing UPS could be the final nail in the coffin for Michael. AJ Foyt come out against Firestone in the IRL and said they are not much better than Goodyear. Dale Jr has really stepped up to the plate so far this year all he needs is a couple of breaks and he could have been in the winner’s circle a few times. There is so much talent and very capapable teams in NASCAR that you need more than skill to win.
