Wow, I haven't posted here in so long! I have really been slacking off lately. 2012 is coming to a close and what a great year it has been! Brad Keselowski is our 2012 champion and it was a wild finale. Jimmie Johnson having late race problems and losing his shot at a 6th championship. The guy no one ever expected to win was hoisting the trophy at the end of Homestead. The 28 year-old from Michigan is now the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion.
There are many changes going into the 2013 season, and I am sure there will be more to come as February draws near. 48 days and counting.
1. Kenseth Joining JGR.
During the 2012 season, Matt Kenseth announced he was leaving Roush Fenway Racing. On September 4th, he announced he had signed with Joe Gibbs Racing for the 2013 season.
2. Joey Logano Joins Penske
Since Kenseth had replaced Joey Logano in the #20 JGR Toyota, Logano was looking for a new ride as well. He landed a job at Penske Racing in the #22 Ford for the 2013 season. He will team up with reigning champ Brad Keselowski.
3. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. -- Newest Sprint Cup Driver
The reigning Nationwide Series champion for the past 2 seasons will be making the switch to NASCAR's top series in 2013. Stenhouse Jr. will replaced veteran driver Matt Kenseth at Roush Fenway Racing in the number that Kenseth made famous, No. 17. Most of Kenseth's sponsor from the 2012 season will stay with Stenhouse through 2013.
4. Trevor Bayne in Full Time Nationwide
The 2011 Daytona 500 has not received the glory and success expected after winning a Daytona 500. The past few season have been rough and strenuous. Everything from a mysterious illness to lack of sponsorship the 21 year-old has been in the waiting zone. 2013 is looking a little brighter. With Ricky Stenhouse Jr. moving to Cup, that opens up a Nationwide ride for Bayne. Cargrill agreed to continue sponsoring the No. 6 Ford allowing Bayne to run full-time. Bayne is still signed with the Wood Brothers, and will most likely run select Cup races.
5. Kevin Harvick Leaving RCR?
This is not official yet, but rumor has it Kevin Harvick will be leaving the Richard Childress Racing organization in 2014. Sources said Harvick was possibly moving to Stewart-Haas Racing. None of this is confirmed and Harvick will continue to race at RCR for the next 2 seasons.
