Kvapil expects to return to Cup in 2010

Quote :

Kvapil back in a Cup car in 2010?: Travis Kvapil fully expects to race in Sprint Cup next season after a year of unemployment. Kvapil has been in serious discussion with several respectable teams, he said, as well a few lesser ones and some in the Camping World Truck Series as an alternative. Sidelined when Yates couldn't find sponsorship, Kvapil expected to land a fill-in ride during the "silly season," but the traditional round of mid-season firings didn't happen. "There's a handful of guys that don't deserve to have rides if I don't have one - I know I can outrun them - and the demands of sponsors put a lot of pressure on the teams," Kvapil said. "It seems like teams were afraid to make a change and have it look to the sponsors like they're shaking things up."(Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)(9-11-2009)

I'd like to see him return.

He seems awfully full of himself in those comments.

He should be able to outperform some of them yes, but Idk sponsorwise- he's not exactly all that marketable it seems

It may sound like he's full of himself, but that's definitely what all of these decent drivers being kicked to the curb are thinking. Most of them just don't say it.

Travis doesn't seem all that marketable to me either, but I do think Zaxby's is somewhat interested in him. I know he drove for them on a Roush truck last season, and now driving the Nationwide car for them.

I don't think that Zaxby's is a large enough chain to support a full time Cup effort.

other than nascar I've never heard of them......

course we are ND so that doesn't mean much

especially since i've heard/have menards close by and TBO doesn't

Zaxby's is concentrated to the southeast, I believe. I think it's very similar to Chick-fil-A as far as its market.

I've eaten at Zaxby's twice - once in Darlington for the race and visiting family in Jacksonville, FL. The food is excellent - I'll give them that. It's basically fast food, except not as fast. You order at the register and then sit down and wait for them to call your name.

ok- well ya chic-a-fillet i've only heard of since being on forums lol

Chick-fil-A is the best [fast food, or really any food] restaurant in the history of earth... I eat there a lot! I hate that there's not one within walking distance of campus! lol



Ok... now back to the regularly schedule topic...

i agree, chick-fil-a is the stuff!! what were we talking about again

Mediocre driver...only way he'd ever have a shot at being competitive is scoring with HMS or with Tony, but that won't happen.

I think his performance from last season shows that he's pretty good when the car is actually halfway decent, so I don't know if I'd say he's a mediocre driver. But I guess we will see for sure next year if he does return to Cup.

It seems like people drive harder when there ride is on the line, then as soon as they get a good ride, they lose their edge.
