Two teams could be missing from Phoenix

Two teams could be missing from Phoenix: on SPEEDtv's SPEED Report, Bob Dilner reported that two Sprint Cup teams could be missing at Phoenix on the weekend on April 17-18th. #8-Aric Almirola [the team plans to meet about the future of the #8 on Tuesday, Aprl 7th] and the #71 TRG Motorsports team that David Gilliland drives. Gilliand said the team needs a sponsor to continue on.(4-6-2009)

Truth or Fiction? Dilner is reporting it.

I hope TRG makes the trip. I want them to knock the 20 out of the top-35...


As for the 8, I wouldn't be surprised.

I've heard from Gilly they need the sponsor to continue and this is the who knows how many times I"ve seen the 8 on that list also


so's that mean possibly a reunion with the #8 for Jr. next year? maybe, maybe not..... stay tuned and we'll find out

^ Doubt that would happen.

David Gilliland will be racing at Phoenix with sponsorship from American Monster:

That would be pretty funny if they DID knock Joey and the 20 team out of the top-35.
