I could definitely see ryan preece getting the boot and going to JR Motorsports full time XF, but I think that 37/47 cars are pretty much fully sponsored so somebody will be in the 37, maybe Allgaier?

Other than that, I think youre pretty much spot on. With the Briscoe announcement, I think thats the last chip to fall to reveal where Larson is going. I know its wishful thinking, but man I hope they decide to switch the 48 to 25, and I hope Allmendinger gets a full time XF ride and Kaulig runs him in the cup series on the RCs

Eric Jones to drive the 43 next year.

There has been a lot of talk about Preece getting canned and that charter going elsewhere, so that's why I went with that guess on this list.

I'd be bummed if it happens. He's a local guy to me and I've seen him race mods many times.

But, he hasn't preformed well, not that he has really good equipment. Maybe if he's canned he finds something in xfinity.

RSJ's luck has been pretty bad in the 47, but Preece's has been even worse in the 37. The two of them have probably gotten dumped 10 times combined this year.

Ive acutally seats from his mustang in mine. Hes got one that he put racing seats in and I bought his factory leather seats to put in mine. He brought them with him to Langley Speedway when he raced his modified there and I met him. He ended up winning the race that night too.

Im sure he will land in xfinity somewhere as long as the move doesnt happen too late.

Gotcha. It just seems that both of those cars seem to be fully sponsored so thats why I think that they might keep running the 37.

Larson to the #5

Larson in the 5!

story of my life

[MarkieMark48]

Side note... I was always partial to Ricky Craven for whatever reason, esp when he drove that Tide ride, but when he got booted from that ride for Little Hammy, he went to Roush to drive the 99 truck the year after Carl Edwards got promoted... a group of us went to the Martinsville cup race, I wanted to go Saturday morning and catch the truck race, of course they didnt want to wake up that early so we ended up leaving the afternoon and Craven ended up winning the truck race weekend, and to this day I havent let it go and still inform them how pissed I was.
