Does anyone really care?

I heard there is a chimp in Kansas that can drive a car.

I know that was a cheap shot but it was too funny not to take advantage of. LOL

Yeah, answer is – who can bring the most money 💰

Ted

Noah Gragson would be better suited for the 8 car with its style of racing (and RCR as a historical whole), but we all Know Ty Dillon will be in that seat in 2023. The 16 of Kaulig will more than likely be Daniel Hemric now that he has an Xfinity Championship (and Sponsorship), if Almendinger chooses to stay in the Xfinity Series.

Childress has had several opportunities to put Ty in his second car but he hasn’t. I agree with you that it would make sense but I will believe it when I see it.

Richard could save a lot of money with Ty. He wouldn’t have to travel to any races anymore because there would be zero chance either of them would win.

DoninAjax

If Childress wants to win he would get rid of the Dillons and get drivers who can win in the cars. The 8 has shown what the cars are capable of and the results aren’t as good as they could be.
