Since the announcement that Craven would not return in 2005 to be replaced by Hamilton, the No. 32 has continued to struggle. This will allow the team to get a head start on next season, but don't expect miracles this year.

I heard that rousch was interested in picking up craven but he doesn't have any spots open I forget the drivers name that he just signed Too bad for craven but a driver with his skillz won't be unemployed for long

Well, I guess Rousch could work something out, put him in Busch or Trucks for a year then give him Martin's ride. What I do know is that Carl Edwards has looked alot better than I expected coming in from the trucks for Rousch.

I meant to say rousch didn't have a spot in a cup car for him at least thats what I heard Dick Bergeron talking about on the radio this morning on my way home from work. but yeah I'm sure he would do very well in the busch series or anywhere else he goes. Still a bummer for him though From what I hear he pretty much brought that team out of the ashes so to speak. But I guess buisness is buisness and they probably thought someone else had a better chance to win races in thier ride. I heard that junior has locked his spot in the championship shootout though I'm still crossing my fingers but as long as he finishes the season ahead of gordon I'll be happy
