2010 NASCAR SPRINT CUP TEAM CHART

TODD PARROTT , I wqsn't aware that he was let go from YATES. I thought he was given a overall help to the CC. Wonder what the problem was between Doug Richert and Roush. Biffle hasn't been the same since Doug left Roush. Always like him. Wish YATES would give him a try but of course Roush wouldn't hear of it.

For me a DREAM COMBINATION. BIFFLE AND RICHERT AT YATES. OH YEA

How silly will Silly Season get?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR's Silly Season is upon us, and it could get really silly before it's over.

And the silliness isn't restricted to drivers.

The future of organizations with manufacturers and sponsors is more of an issue than ever -- and in some ways bigger than where Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick or even Danica Patrick lands.

OK, maybe not Patrick, but it's big.

Richard Petty Motorsports, Red Bull Racing and Earnhardt Ganassi Racing officials have said they are talking to manufacturers besides those to which they are tied. Changes could reshape the manufacturer landscape, which has been somewhat stable since Toyota joined the Sprint Cup Series three years ago.

It also could figure into driver moves and where sponsors go. Martin Truex Jr. said last week that the stability of Toyota played a role in his decision to move from EGR (Chevrolet) to Michael Waltrip Racing next season.

Tony Stewart certainly didn't hide the fact that he wanted to get back to Chevrolet when he topped the 2008 Silly Season charts by leaving Joe Gibbs Racing to become the owner-driver of Stewart-Haas Racing.

Truex was the first piece of this year's Silly Season puzzle to fall. What will happen next is anybody's guess. There are a lot of rumblings, some with a bit of truth to them and others simply rumors.

Harvick and Kasey Kahne, each with one year left on his contract, reportedly want out of the final year of their respective deals. Should one or both get out of those deals, things really could get silly.

Then there's the whole Patrick soap opera. Is she serious about leaving the IndyCar Series for NASCAR, or is she just playing the good ol' boys to get more money in open-wheel?

Sound silly? That's what the Silly Season, which has become a season unto its own like recruiting in college football, is all about.

Here are five things to look out for as the silliness unfolds:
