A check is a hard limit on financial liability. A race car eats and eats.

That team is about as consistent as marlar and delk this time last year they were wanting to throttle back and that didn't align with overtons goals. Now they hire a guy to go race nationally who has proven he isn't capable the last few years. In my eyes to be one of the top national teams you need to be running a series. Yes i know their are top tier teams that don't currently but they all have in the past successfully and are capable in their current capacity.

I think dealing with Harold didn't fit Overton's goals.

Hopefully Chris has free reign, if he has to listen to Harold this won't last more than a weekend.

What happened to the Millwood deal?

I believe that was just for the Southern Nationals.

The best of the bunch in terms of displaying the Drydene sponsorship in my opinion.

Weiss might have something else to say about that. My opinion. Madden is impressive in being with his 3rd team of the year, while keeping the sponsorship of the previous 2 teams! Don't remember that happening without family $

If I were betting, I'd say this is the scenario.......

I don't believe the Millwood ride was ever intended to be a permanent deal. That was just one of his long time supporters giving him a car to run the Ray Cook deal. Just a fill in until he got something permanent. Chris has stepped out and tried some different deals the last couple of years, but the fact that his long time supporters (and now Drydene) stay with him should tell you a little something.

No doubt. Anyone should feel very fortunate to get a ride nowadays but three?

When you have a bunch of sponsor backing, doors open. Plus, he's pretty good, but that isn't enough.

I don't see what's so hard to understand. Scott or Cody wanted him to drive the 0 while Scott was out. He won everything in sight. Things didn't go right this year and he left. After he left the Millwoods who have sponsored Chris for years, and who he has helped develop as a driver asked him to drive the Southern Nats. It was probably just an incentive to help Tyler because he wanted to run the series. The Rum Runner deal I'm sure is not a permanent gig. They are probably just wanting him to run the big shows the rest of the year.

If I was a betting man I would say Chris has a couple of cars ordered and he's just filling the gap with other rides until he gets them. I would say he's going to be driving for himself again soon.
