  • #9 Driver for Phoenix??

    Berry, or someone else?

  • #2
    I've seen rumors/speculation that it could be LaJoie, while I'd love for that to happen, I doubt it will. Would make sense to fill the top ride with someone that has Cup experience and then the lower ride is filled by someone just getting seat time, but there would probably be too many sponsorship hoops to jump through and it probably wouldn't work out. Plus I could see Corey wanting to stay loyal to his Spire bunch.

      That would be awesome to see Corey have a chance in a fast car. I’ll believe it when I see it though

        I would think they’d be asking Jimmie, unless business gets in the way.

          Folks on Reddit are having a boner fit for it to be Stenhouse.

              Why would they consider putting driver in the car that is already driving another Cup car. I would expect that would cause contract issues with other teams..

                  I would love to see lajoie in the car but wouldn't that compromise his playoff eligibility if he were to get in? Berry will probably be the number one choice. But maybe Allgaier, Johnson, Gordon, Dale Jr, I doubt Brandon Jones or Sam Meyer. Daniel Hemric, Cassil? Greg Biffle? Austin Hill? Just throwing names out there

                      I would love to see Lajoie get the opportunity but don’t know what type of hurdles they would have to go through. Also Jimmie Jam would be cool too. Remember Hamlin has ownership in a team, and drives for JGR. It’s more likely than people realize

                            Chase Elliott will be out for at least six weeks. Josh Berry will be in the No. 9 on ovals and Jordan Taylor will race the car on road courses.​
