Here's Johnny?
12:48 PM
I am hearing that Johnny Sauter is the top candidate to drive the No. 88 for Robert Yates Racing next year. I have no idea how that affects his Busch job with Haas CNC, but he can run both schedules if need be. However, Haas CNC is in the middle of a major expansion, and they obviously will need him if they decide to run a few Nextel Cup races in a second car.

I JUST DON'T THINK JOHNNY SAUTER IS THE DRIVER RYR NEEDS...... SEEMS LIKE HE COULD FIND A BETTER DRIVER OUT THERE...... AREN'T THERE BETTER DRIVERS OUT THERE THAT WOULD JUMP TO HIM,AS HE WILL BE GETTING A FULL 100% FROM FORD AND TV EXPOSIER SHOULD BE GREAT --- WONDER WHO HIS SPONSER WILL BE???
here jeff
What about Ward Burton Would love to see that.
I thought the rumor was DEI was going to buy RYR out, so Paul Menard would be locked in the first 5 races.
That could be great for RYR
big break for hass
Isn't 2007 the year the teams must get down to 4 teams? Seems that one of the Roush drivers could be available.
Why would RYR need a CRASY DUMMY to drive the 88, I thing Gilliland will keep the body guys busy enough for the first part of the season. They better try to find a sponsor for Ward Burton and let him drive and bring the "88" team back to life
I disagree, JD--I think Johnny Sauter has a lot of potential. I've been waiting to see him get his chance at Cup. I hope this rumor is true.
I would love to see Ward Burton in the 88 Car. I think there is a lot of other fans thinking the same thing. Good Ward!!!
they gotta be nuts to hire sauter. lets add another hothead that doesnt know when to keep it shut.
I cant believe they didnt jump all over Scott Wimmer. What about 1 of Jack Roush's drivers in the Busch Series, they both share motors/chasis, why not drivers as well??
