No 4th car for RCR in 2010?

No 4th car for RCR in 2010? Richard Childress Racing will move into the future as a three-car team for 2010. Sponsorship was not available to run Casey Mears' #07 car this season but #31-Jeff Burton, #29-Kevin Harvick and #33-Clint Bowyer will remain. "Right now we're going to run three Cup teams out of our shop," said [team owner Richard] Childress, "and possibly a rookie somewhere along the line but, right now, it's three teams. Casey, I'm hoping to try to find him something (at another team). He hasn't landed anything yet. He's a great guy and did a great job for us at the end of the year and I just wish there was something we could do with him but right now, I don't want to do anything with a fourth team that's going to take away from our other three teams."(Peoria Journal Star)(1-8-2010)

No real surprises there ... doubt Casey finds anything competitive.

well I wouldn't say that because he went from CGR-> Hendrick-> RCR without ever showing much promise other than a 6 race stint or so

I remember that he had 4 straight top-10's at one point with Hendrick... that's probably the best he's ever been in his career.

I'm a bit surprised he didn't land the 09 Cup ride, but he's been with some great teams and couldn't get it done.
