    Stewart Hass Third team.. by RowdyAtl18

    Jul 7, 2009 at 10:29 PM | COMMENTS (9) | LIKES (5)
    Alot of rumors have been coming out about Stewart Hass Racing coming out with a third team next year. Alot of Speculations have lead to Brad Keslowski as the driver. Keslowski has been vocal about wanting to stay in Hendrick's Organization, I just dont know if StewartHass would be the right fit. I have also heard some rumors about Kasey Kahne wanting to leave Richard Petty Motorsports. IMO, i think Kahne makes a better fit due to the USAC background he has, Matches that of Stewart and Newman. All three are popular drivers that can bring good sponsorship. I think Brad K needs another year, Win that Nationwide Championship, then move up. Maybe By then Martin will be officially retired, and he can have the 5 car. Jr. Motorsports have flirted with bringing the team to cup level, that is another option for Brad. I just dont see Brad fitting in to what Stewart and Newman have already. Kahne is already good friends with both Newman and Stewart, Simple Move right? Well have to see next year but, hopefully Keslowski is still a part time driver.

      I'de point out that fact that Keselowski finishes 19th in the Nationwide race last night...... How's that for talent!

      Ricker... I happen to watch the Nationwide series every week... Along with qualifying and every other minute of coverage that I can possiby see. And the last three years doesnt mean squat if he's not pullin his weight this year!
      Rubbercatfish..... Brad never would have passed him... EVER! He's just not that good.
      Monty... I think you're 100% right about everyone liking him because he races for Jr. But we must keep in mind... Jr. isn't good either... So their judgement is clouded anyway.

      Keslowski has been the highest runner of the non cup drivers, til this year. Leffler has proven he can drive too. But thats just it Keslowski can run decent in hendrick/Jr equipment, but not great. I think one more year might do him justice. Logano might have been thrown in too quick, but he won in the nationwide series in his first couple races, along the praises as "best thing since sliced bread". But its not about if Brad K is ready or not, i just dont want him in that third entry. Kahne would fit perfect, Montoya would be a stretch since hes so loyal to EGR. If EGR drops out, anything is possible. Leffler needs that second chance in cup. He was thrown into a situation at a young age and wasnt able to hold that job, but he lost it to Denny Hamlin, so hard to argue that one. Wish they would announce something soon....

      Steal Kyle away from Joe Gibbs, I hope Keselowski makes the move to SHR. Personally I think Keseklowski, Busch, and Logano are gonna be the names to watch in the sport for the next 10 -15 years.

      not impressed with keslowski either rowdy, I think everyone gives him more credit than he deserves just cause he drives for Jr Motorsports, but thats neither here or there? as afar as stewarts third car, I think he should be interested with montoya, after all this is the last year on Montoya contract this year, and if he is a free agent that made the chase, in sub par equipment, I hope he would get picked up by the big dogs. (Hendrix, Gibs, SHR)

      *_"Whether or not the wreck was his fault, is irelavent) "_*
      Are you kidding me? If I cause a wreck, how could I possibly blame anybody else? If I cause it, *IT'S MY FAULT!* If I cause it and you win, How can anybody say that *YOU* cost me the win? Carl cost himself the win. Actually, Brad earned that win because either way, it was his: Carl wrecked out trying to get it, but had he not ...Brad would have passed by him anyway!

      Apparently you believe that racing only happens on Sunday and you don't watch what goes down on Saturday. Keslowski has finished highest in points of non cup drivers in Nationwide for the last three years. This kid proves every weekend that he is ready to drive cup. You should really watch the other series you might find that there are other drivers out there other than Joey Logano. Who BTW didn't earn his cup win either!!!! ROFLMAO

      to say that I think there is alot of hype about Keselowski for absolutely NO REASON. When did everybody start noticing this kid? When he got a fluke win at Talladega, AFTER spinning and flipping Carl Edwards all over the place, costing him the win. ( Whether or not the wreck was his fault, is irelavent) I dont think he's what Tony is looking for. You have to be on the same level as Tony to drive with him. And Keselowski has a long way to go?

      Mojo can drive!?!?!
      Kidding! I really thaought that BassPro Shops (Tony has a connection) and Truex would head in that direction, but it looks like MWR had the draw!
