Ive had some time during the NASCAR off season to reflect on the 2008 Sprint Cup season. What a silly season it was indeed. I think my mind is all messed up from trying to figure out who is on what race team and what car number is he driving and what sponsor does he have? I’m excited about the 2009 season, but at the same time confused as to who went where and what car is he driving. Some great drivers are even without a ride as of right now. So, I’m going to try to outline the drivers/teams/cars, etc… for the 2009 season:
In the meantime, if you’re going to have a racing party or event or going to the track and you need racing decorations you should visit the Race Party Decorations & Tailgating Supply Store they have all your race party/event needs along with tailgating and camping supplies.
Here we go…..click on the “more” link to see the “tentative” 2009 Sprint Cup roster.
