Nascar Sprint Cup Series 2016 Silly Season

That announced this during the season around when the chase started

Landon Cassill is close to signing his way into the #38 ride for Front Row Motorsports bring his sponsor Snap Fitness with him. This is a step up for Landon and this proves that Gilliland's Cup career is practically over but he still has his son Todd that he can now focus on more. Whitt will most likely go back to BK Racing or go to a good team in the Xfinity series like Roush or Richard Petty.

But with Landon Cassill moving to FRM, JJ Yeley was rumored to go there but that seems to look more in doubt. But the person that has been rumored to take over JJ Yeley's ride at BK was David Ragan. This could be big for Ragan since BK will now be getting MWR equipment so he will be right back where he started. A top 20 racer.

nice to know the 38 will be better next season

David Ragan in for the #23 car for BK Racing

Michael McDowell is back in the #95 but it will be a chevy instead of a ford since the #95 car is now partnered with CircleSport that has relations with RCR

David Ragan will also be in a mutual alliance will Joe Gibbs Racing like what Roush is doing to Buescher

Here we go Leavine Family Racing has teamed up with Circle Sport to be a technical alliance with RCR. They will run the full season as one team with multiple drivers. Michael McDowell will be racing the majority of the season with Ty Dillon in the car for the Daytona 500. Dillon will have Cheerios onboard the #95 while McDowell will have Thrivent Financial for 15 races and K-Love coming back.

Now as some us found out earlier today that Alex Bowman and Tommy Baldwin Racing has split apart. This could be a reason to get Regan Smith into the #7 car as this news was brought up a couple hours later. Suspicious enough?

Dr. Pepper will be primary sponsor for the 23 for multiple races and an associate sponsor on all the cars for the whole season

Cole Whitt will be moving to the #98 car for Premium Motorsports. This is a step down from FRM but it works right?

SunEnergy1 will be sponsoring Chase Elliott for 4 race Daytona (July), Watkins Glen, Kansas (Sept) and Phoenix (November)

Michael Waltrip will race in the Daytona 500 with BK Racing the the #83 while Matt DiBenedetto will be in the #93 for just the Daytona 500 to my knowledge.

Does that mean no one in the 26?

Nope

Nevermind about the 26 car as BK will add a 4th car for Daytona with Robert Richardson Jr in the ride. While Reed Sorenson will race for Hillman Racing with CRC BRAKLEEN as the sponsors.

David Gilliland will race in the Daytona 500 in the #35 car and Brian Vickers will replace Tony Stewart

I think that only reason David will be doing that is because of Front Row getting that 3rd car sealed into every race. Otherwise they were going to drop to a 2 car team. They might not be a 3 car team, because we are only hearing "Daytona" but still the charter is probably playing a role in this.
Actually the #34 car is taking the #35 team's charter so the #35 team is not a charter team


But going along these lines, Ty Dillon will race a couple race with Stewart out of the car. He will race the races that Bass Pro Shops will be on the car while Vickers will race the other races. Bass Pro Shop will be on the #14 for 2-3 races but that can extend with Dillon in the car but not the races with Truex race Bass Pro Shops which Truex will race 9 races in that scheme.
