So I guess Kyle WILL be going to the 18 car. He’s going to look like a real elf now in that green outfit unless he has another sponsor. I bet it all comes down to sponsorship, I’m willing to bet you. This just… I don’t know. I love JJ… and yes, he may not be the best driver out there on the track but he is proven that he can run with the best of them and he’s close to getting his first win. He’s already got poles, he’ll be in the Shootout next year…that’s more than I can say for some of the top drivers. Has Tony gotten a pole this year? I don’t think so. JJ Yeley is this generation’s Richard Petty… meaning with the fans, he’s always so nice and funny and takes his time when you approach him, etc.

And now he will be tossed in the wind. He’s not Jason Leffler and he shouldn’t be treated like Jason was by getting kicked out of his ride. And yes, that’s my personal picture to the right

Yeley’s agent, Kyle Chapman, said there is currently no signed deal between his client and Wood Brothers/JTG Racing, and that Yeley is in discussion with a number of teams about possible rides for next season. But sources with knowledge of the situation say Yeley will indeed be out of the #18 next season, and behind the wheel of the #21 Ford.(Motorsports Soapbox)(8-7-2007)
