I want to thank Bobby for his efforts over the past year and a half. I wish Bobby nothing but the best as he pursues his options for next season.
As it relates to me personally, I'm in favor of it. As it relates to making this a better sport, I'm in favor of it. I think it's going to be very good for the garage area, very good for the sponsors, very good for NASCAR.
If you had a totally clean canvas, 44 cars and 22 owners would be the best thing. But the horse is already out of the barn on that one.
I am very pleased to have Gary Putnam join my organization. He will be an invaluable asset to me as well as our crew chief. He adds a tremendous amount of depth to the Tide Racing program and will help us grow as we move forward into a multi-car team.
