But Wade's been the top dog for two years (sorry Jay) and his ride is good enough to keep him there.<BR/><BR/>I feel for Cunningman since he's proven all he has to at this level, but maybe YET ANOTHER year gets him and ICS ride with AGR, Ganassi or even Penske should one of those teams lose a driver.<BR/><BR/>I saw that Mutoh's team is already calling him Godzilla. The merchandising potential with that nickname is off the chart.Iannuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120192496901254768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-83581448686250688062007-03-14T18:34:00.000-07:002007-03-14T18:34:00.000-07:00Yes, Cunningham will get Alex Lloyd's old seat, an...Yes, Cunningham will get Alex Lloyd's old seat, and being associated with AGR can't hurt, but I wouldn't crown him yet.<BR/><BR/>Bobby Wilson has Cunningham's old car - which would have won the title if not for Wade filing a divorce from his appendix during the St. Pete event.<BR/><BR/>Alex Lloyd gets the Sam Schmidt car that Jay Howard did win the title in.<BR/><BR/>Panther brings their extensive resources to bear for Hideki Mutoh, who's been fast in testing. I'll probably call him Godzilla because it's catchy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
