Martin, Mears, Stewart What the? Help me understand it?

Question

please tell me why is stewart leaving jgr for a lowbudget team why is mears leaving the best off his sad career will ever find what is martin doing he is the only one i can see why he is leaving he is a roushkateer at heart

HELP

Answer 1

yeah like he said Stewart hates toyota (as do I) and he knows if he stays with them it will ruin his career Mears isn't up to Hendrick  and martin I dont know.

Answer 2

Right about Stewart, hes not a Toyota fan, plus this gives him the opportunity to own a team.  I think he is focusing on future.  If you cant do anything with Hendrick stuff working under you, then I don't know what to say about Mears.  Mark Martin basically doesn't care.  He pretty much is retired, and these teams are throwing out big dollars to have him drive some races for them, so why not.  :)

Answer 3

it hasn't all come together yet

Answer 4

Stewart is leaving JGR to get back in a Chevrolet would be a total guess on my part. He does have an existing deal with Chevrolet for his own racing teams and driving a Toyota likely doesn't sit well with the brass at Chevy who would like to see TS back in a bowtie.

It may be Mears didn't "want" to leave HMS he was probobly shown the door like KB was last year (mistake for HMS).

Who knows with Mark Martin why.

Answer 5

Stewart is leaving Joe Gibbs. Speculation is saying he is going to buy Haas and hire Truex and Newman to drive the cars. Old Spice and UPS may be sponsouring the cars.

Mears will be booted from the #5 at year's end. No word on where Casey will go, but Mark Martin may drive the #5 next year.

Answer 6

1) Mears sucks. His contract is up in 2009. Hendrick is ditch him at seasons end. Not his choice

2)DEi wants Amirola to drive full time. Mark want's one last shot at a cup. Mark moves to Hendricks to Drive the #5.What all parties want.

3) Smoke sees life greener on the otherside of the fence & wants a ownership slice. Hass is giving him what he wants, plus Chevy wants him back in a bowtie ride. Plus JGR can move there new young gun up to a cup ride. This is smoke's deal, JGR would like to keep him.

Answer 7

Stewart hates toyota. I don't mean to offend people who like toyotas but it's the truth.  Mears is with the one of the best teams and still isn't doing up to hendrick expectations. I don't know why mark martin left roush.

Answer 8

Hendrick gave Casey the boot like he did Kyle only not so underhandedly...Casey saw it coming.  Watch for Casey's career to take off like Kyles did.

Mark martin will drive for hendrick./ Why?  I don't know.  Maybe he thinks Rick will give him as good a car as he gives Jimmie and Jeff.  I doubt it though.  You can't blame Mark he probably thinks this is his last chance at a championship and he is going to grab it.  I like Mark. Always have and wish him the best.  

Tony is part owning his opwn team and Ryan newman and Martin Truex will be driving for him.

Answer 9

DEI has said that they would like to have Mark Martin full time.  Martin doesn;t want a full time ride and they know that. He doesn;t have a real choice, but to leave. They are giving Almirola the 8 car full time next season, so there goes his car.

They basicly told him thanks, but see ya around.

Answer 10

Tony Stewart always stays true to what he wants and that is chevy and he is going back.  Mears didn't have a choice he is fired.

Answer 11

Tony wants to have his own team.

Mark wants to ace full time next year

Casey is not winning so they are releasing him.

Answer 12

Mears is getting kicked out, its not his choosing, and HMS is doing that only in hopes of Stewart going there,only way that will happen is if Hendrick does something like he did for Jr. and thats help him with starting a team.  Who knows if Hendrick can afford that but im sure if he proposes that to Joe Gibbs they will work soemthing out, JGR will do what every they can to keep Tony and I think Tony will stay right now he is just a little un happy cause he hasnt been winning and its not his fault but its not the equipments fault either just a little bad luck but he does like chevys and probably doesnt know how he wakes up every day and drives a toyota. If Tony leaves its going to be something crazy like him leaving for a team we never heard or not well know  or something.  And as far as Martin he is old and wise no one should question him.....but for real either he is unhappy with the equipemnt or he can make more money racing for someone else that just wants him for his name, but who doesnt like MM.

EDIT: like i said stewart to one of the not so big teams if this is tru its pretty amazing, i belive it though chevy bouhgt out his contract and he is going to have part owner ship, like i said http://jayski.com/cupnews.htm#news20
