What do you think about this move?

Question

What do you think about Reed Sorenson moving to Gillette Evernham? Will it help him? i do believe he is a great driver just didn't have the right chance over at Ganassi. I don't think Ganassi put all his efforts to help Reed.

Answer 1

I agree with you. He is a great driver and was never given the right

chance with Ganassi because Ganassi is a sub par team who has

been giving Reed c**p cars. They did not help him and I really don't

think they appreciated him like they should have. I predict Ganassi

will fold in 3 to 5 years.

I am very happy with Reed's move to Gillette Evernham and I think he

will do well there.

Answer 2

I still can't figure out WHY they let Carpentier go. Is Sorenson bringing some big sponsor with him?

I hope they find a fourth car for Carpentier, or that he gets picked up by someone. I'd hate to see him go.

Answer 3

I think Reed has a better chance at Gillette Everham than ever did at Ganassi. Ganassi never did help his chances at all.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Reed up in the top 15 next year.

Answer 4

I agree with you. He is a talented young man. It is a good move.I think he will be  a lot better off. He will get the chance to show case his talent  with Ray.

Answer 5

i think everyone should distance themselves from ganassi he has turned a decent team into a bottom dweller. as for patrick, i wish a good team like jgr, rfr, rcr, or jr motorsports would put him in a good nationwide car and give him a chance to work up to a top notch ride in cup.

Answer 6

I think it is a good career move for Sorenson. Ganassi has been putting c**p cars on the track for the past 4-5 years. I just dont think it made much sense for Evernham to be the team to take him on. I dont see Sorenson being much, if any, better than Carpentier over the long run. Carpentier has been improving little by little each and every week. Once he gets enough seat time in the stock car, he will be capable of putting his car in the top 10 fairly consistently. Sorenson has the talent to do so as well, but Carpentier fits in well with Evernham, since he is from Montreal, and the new owner of Evernham is also from Montreal. The rumors are flying that a bunch of people from Montreal (Montrealeans??) have been threatening to boycott Montreal Canadien games next season to show their displeasure with Carpentier being released...

So, we shall see how it works out in the long run. Hopefully, for Gillettes sake, they can find a 4th major sponsor, and they can keep both Sorenson AND Carpentier...  

Answer 7

Great move by Gillette/Everham..Reed with the right equipment can and will get the job done!..end of story

Answer 8

Ganassi blows. End of story. I'm so mad that they got rid of Patrick Carpentier!!!!

He has so much potential and they never gave him a chance. He did more there than Elliot Sadler ever has.

Answer 9

Good move by Ganassi,  Bad move by Evernham!
