If Kevin Harvick is leaving RCR because he sees the grandkids becoming the focal point, I don't know that he is going to a situation that is any better.<br /><br />Just wait until Harvick and Patrick have a dust-up; there won't be enough Midol in the world to make that pain go away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866731447362215384.post-79858875549799442792013-07-16T14:11:30.503-07:002013-07-16T14:11:30.503-07:00One detail that has been overlooked in all this gr...One detail that has been overlooked in all this great Silly Season speculation is RC's long-term plan to bring Dillon's whole team up to Cup. <br /><br />IF (big if) rumors are true that Quicken Loans wants to follow Newman for 20 races next year, I think he will get a re-numbered 29 team (maybe 33) and Dillon's NWS 3 team moves up, giving RCR four full-time teams.<br /><br />I think it all comes down to sponsorship dollars, and something tells me RCR will pull together enough funding to cover 16 races for Newman and fully fund the 3 for the season. I think Rheem is tied to Menards, so I think they stay at RCR for a handful of races, and you still have General Mills popping up at RCR a few times year.<br /><br />If nothing else, as you point out, Chevy could step up and back the 3 as a factory team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
