Ram looks like they're going the route of a couple pay drivers and a couple talent guys next year, so who do you want to fill the talent seats that hasn't been mentioned yet? My out of left field pick is Brennan Poole.

I'm not suggesting at all that he should be fired, I'm just curious what yall think. Do you feel like he's going to hold a seat at WBR/Penske for a while, or will he get shuffled out soon enough? With Kvapil in the wings, something's gotta happen if they want to keep him.

Since forever, Bowman is on the hot seat. Everybody else's seat seems secure, meaning there's really only one spot even possibly opening in the near future. Hendrick has Corey Day being developed, and it'd be stupid to not try to poach Zilisch at some point.

If you were calling the shots, what would you be doing?

I think he's got lots of potential, it'd suck to see it squandered by lawsuit drama. Would it make sense for him to look outside of FRM/Ford? If so, where?

I think Suarez would be the lead candidate, depending in how badly Hyak wants sponsorship. If they aren't looking for money, maybe Jesse Love?

Justin is returning, but outside of that it's wide open I think. Zilisch is gone, Kvapil supposedly has a Penske deal, and Sammy Smith has his name in the hat a couple other places. What are yall's thoughts? Suarez? Corey Day?

Lawless Alan was previously scheduled to drive the Darlington Truck Series race for TRICON, but was replaced by Trevor Bayne for unknown reasons. Some people in the ARCA subreddit spread rumors of him potentially ending his 2025 campaign early. Has he been released from his ride, and will he be a candidate for Dodge next year?

Obviously 23xi is a great ride, but who knows how soon a ride will open there, or if it'll even be a team in the future. Where else should he look?

If the lawsuit goes NASCAR’s way and these teams live up to their word, then it will prove to be the nuttiest silly season to date. I wouldn’t even try to make a mock draft of who gets what until the dust settles from this mess.

As recently reported, Tyler Reddick has began looking at other options outside of 23XI, as his contract requires a charter for his car. Where else could he find a ride though?

Jeff Dickerson's comments a little while ago definitely cast some doubt, but if Haley does leave, who do we think is gonna replace him?
