Not all that surprising. Ginn Racing has been hemorraging money since it's inception. The 01 Army car was the only one doing anything. There had been about 30 layoffs at the headquarters about two weeks before the merger announcement, and Sterling Marlin and Joe Nemechek were about to be shown the door anyway.

Seriously, how long is it going to be before Nascar is just one big "team"?

I think Bobby found out how much it costs to run an organization and it was more than he expected.

Wow, that's some news I didn't expect. Let's see how well they can support that many drivers.

Paul Menard gets to race every week. ;) Other than that, not much changes - Mark Martin's still a part-time driver. DEI still needs to replace Junior.
