Rumored Upcoming Plans for Teams

Hamilton-Means Racing (Cup):

     Hamilton-Means has pushed back their Cup debut once again. This time they will plan to attempt the Goody's Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville in the #52 Crusader Staffing Toyota. Team originally was going to attempt the Daytona 500, but was put on hold because of a delay in obtaining some essential equipment. The plan then was for the Subway Fresh Fit 500(k) at Phoenix or the Food City 500 at Bristol. And just last week, it was announced they will attempt the Martinsville race. Johnny Sauter was said to drive to the 52 car, but decided not to agree to deal. Sauter's only plans for that race weekend is to drive the #13 in the Camping World Truck Series. Driver for the 52 at Martinsville was Scott Speed, after that the driver(s) is TBD at this point.


GoGreen Racing (Cup):

     Another new Cup team that has pushed their first Cup attempt is the GoGreen Racing. Tim Andrews is still said to drive the car, but the team unknowingly pushed their Sprint Cup debut back. It was suppose to be at Martinsville, but they didn't show up for the event. As of now it is unknown when and if they will attempt a race in the Cup Series. Tim Andrews is also said to be the driver of the #37 GoGreen Racing Ford in the Nationwide Series (first race for the 37 team, however, has yet to be announced).


TurnOne Racing (Cup):

     Reed Sorenson drove the #74 TurnOne Racing Chevy at the Food City 500 at Bristol. Stacy Compton was on the initial entry list for this event, but Reed Sorenson picked up the 74 ride later in the week. Team decided to start-and-park the event to avoid risking damaging their car. Sorenson appears to be the full-time driver for TurnOne. Another driver that might drive for a race or two is J.R. Fitzpatrick, who drives for the team in the Camping World Truck Series, but only time will tell for him.


Rick Ware Racing (NNS):

     I asked Rick Ware Racing if there if their 15 Nationwide team will be running any more races for the 2012 Nationwide Season. They told me that is the plan for them. The 15 team attempted the Royal Purple 300 with Scott Riggs. Because of lack of sponsorship on the car, it was a start-and-park deal with Riggs.
