Kurt Busch has won a few races in his career, but few have been as impressive as Sunday’s performance in the Pennsylvania 500. Starting in the front row, Busch led 175 of the 200 laps in the race.

It’s late by my standards, but I had a pressing issue with New York State Energy Code requirements on a family room addition I’m designing and subsequently could not sleep until I corrected it. I got through that painless enough but I had to go and click on Fox NASCAR in my Favorites and wouldn’t ya know…. the first thing I see is “Free-agent Kyle Busch to drive for Gibbs”…. so now I’m expected to fall asleep?? I’m speechless, so I suppose I’ll go wrestle with the sheets. I hope the rest of you are in deep slumber. Sweet Dreams!!

These rumours are as of yet unconfirmed by those involved, and according to MRN Radio motorsports announcer Dave Moody an announcement will be made in 2 to 3 weeks.

To put it in point form:

- Kyle Busch will drive the #18 Interstate Batteries Car next 3 years (until 2010)
- JJ Yeley will be in the Wood Brothers’ #21 car next year
- No word on where Kenny Schrader will end up
- Joe Gibbs Racing will be driving Toyotas next year

Adding Fuel to this rumour is this:

- It has been confirmed that JGR will not be providing engines to Hall of Fame Racing next year and they have approached the newly amalgamated DEI/RCR engine trust for engines for next year.

Very interesting to say the least.

In other news:

Scott Riggs will be riding the pine at The Glen this weekend as Canadian Patrick Carpentier will be behind the wheel of the Gillett-Evernham Racing’s #10 Valvoline/Stanley Tools Dodge.

Request of you, my faithful readers:

I’m looking at doing a weekly feature here at NASCAR Ranting and Raving, but I need your help. The feature is going to be called Tattoo Tuesdays and every Tuesday I am going to feature somebody’s NASCAR related tattoo with their story and this is where you come in - I need pictures, names, artist(s), and stories of people with their NASCAR Tattoos. If you have a NASCAR tattoo, or know of someone who does, and would like to share it with the rest of the blogosphere then please email me the necessary info at rantingandraving_4ever3@hotmail.com. Thanks.
