    Just a business move by Tony, he has proven he's all about the $$$ with the hiring of Danica as a driver.

        It has little to do with Chevy and everything to do with HMS. Things were not on the up and up and it was intentional.

          Well, heck yeah.
          Nah. She likes her current ride. She's a hardcore Stenhouse Rocket rider.

            I was Thinking that the other day... Switch to ford saves them 6 to 7 m bucks on motors... BUT it gives them the Motors for F1 all so ..This is a business move for Haas...And too save money in NASCAR on Motors..... I think you on to some thing here...

              The answer is simple. The doctors told Tony he just needs to slow down.

                    Yep....that's basically what Tony said in the press release!

                    Hopefully, Harvick will replace Kahne!

                    The only problem for Haas is that Hendrick has bought a lot of CNC equipment from him! That will probly stop!

                      Have you heard anything about the future of Tony's WoO and dirt teams? Are they going Ford too? Does Ford have a competitive dirt motor?

                        If they make that switch on the Sprint Car side, it won't be a big deal. The Donny Schatz #15 uses Shaver Speciality Engines out of CA. Back when Casey Luna owned a WoO team, (Vivarin #10 driven by Dave Blaney, Bobby Davis, Jr. and a few others) he built their Ford Engines and they won a lot of races and a Championship.

                          Does it really make a difference? Those Chevy and Ford engines don't know what's stamped on them. It's a aftermarket block, aftermarket pistons, rods, cam lifters. Everything is aftermarket. Nothing Was ever born in Detroit. Someone could put one together and call it a YUGO. LOL

                            This has nothing to do with DLM's...

                            It must have been some insane money to lure Tony because I remember how much he disliked JGR switching to toyota. I can see why Ford went looking, Rousch has wandered off into the bushes, running in the back with the start n' park dudes, behind Danica... The Petty group doesnt seem much better, only Penske has any speed in Ford and he builds his own chassis. I know it was a money deal when Penske left Dodge, but both he and Petty ran better before hooking up with Rousch. I wonder who will supply the chassis and engines? Will any of it be done in house at SHR? I won't have to worry as I wont be watching any cup once Tony retires. Heck, I only watched 4 laps of Daytona and got bored. Good luck to SHR I guess. Lastly, this isnt in anyway related to DLM, so how about moving it to the other section, please.
