![](http://img44.photobucket.com/albums/v136/TTC_Forum/op.gif) From www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm which is the biggest NASCAR news rumor site out there reports this today. It's just speculation right now. Ganassi has no plans for Marlin, to the #07? #40-Sterling Marlin said last month that he didn't think he'd be back at Chip Ganassi Racing next year because the car owner had been reluctant to discuss a new contract with him. Ganassi said Marlin can change that via on-track performance. "Right now, we don't have a plan for Sterling for next year,'' Ganassi said. "But if he wins a couple of races, it's not like we can't change our plans.'' Assuming he needs a new job next season, garage speculation has him moving over to Richard Childress Racing to drive the #07 Jack Daniel's Chevy that Dave Blaney currently pilots. Jack Daniels is a Tennessee-based company that would love to be represented by a homestate driver. Busch series driver David Stremme, who is part of Ganassi's development program, is most commonly mentioned to replace Marlin in the #40 Dodge.(ESPN.com RPM), NOTE: have heard that Marlin has already met with Jack Daniels's reps and is a front runner for a Jack Daniels's sponsored ride, it could be in the #07 RCR Chevy or Jack Daniel's coud move to another team.(5-8-2005) How ironic would that be that if this came to pass. That my first name would be on Sterling's car. ;D I could be s.m.07fan but who knows at this point.

This is really big news. .... not that Sterling would change teams as much as you would change names! ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Ha. Of course we have been talking about this on another thread, but all the same that would be interesting. (The change in the world of NASCAR for Marlin as well as 40fan's name) Man. We couldn't abbrev with 40fan anymore. That would suck. It is easy to say "40fan" outloud. Oooo! We could have a contest on E.S. to create a new handle for you & the winner could ....win something. Hahaha. You could always alter it to s.m.07Jack which would be accurate on multiple levels. But we'll see.
