We already know where Tony Stewart and Mark Martin will end up in 2009. Stewart will be joining Haas CNC Racing to form Stewart-Haas Racing and Mark Martin will be taking over the #5 Hendrick Motorsports car.
But what about all the other drivers who are changing teams, contemplating changing or just got dumped?
J.J. Yeley was kicked the curb today from Hall of Fame Racing. Road Course Ringer P.J. Jones will drive the #96 DLP HDTV Toyota this weekend in Watkins Glen. Starting in Michigan, Nationwide Series driver Brad Coleman will take over for Yeley.
There’s also rumblings around NASCAR that Mark Martin could be in the #5 Kelloggs / Carquest Chevy at Hendrick Motorsports as early as this season.
And what about Ryan Newman? The press has all but signed him to Stewart-Haas Racing but neither Stewart, Newman, or anybody else at Haas has confirmed it. J.D. Gibbs from Joe Gibbs Racing has counted Newman out from taking over the #20 Home Depot Toyota for Stewart. It’s rumored that Nationwide Series driver Joey Logano will take over that ride.
Martin Truex, Jr. has stated that he is close to announcing what his plans for the future are but when a report came out that Dale Earnhardt, Inc. had signed him to a new agreement, he all but spit and took a dump on the rumor.

Sit tight, I don’t believe it’s that kind of press conference.
Tony Stewart will take part in the weekly NASCAR teleconference for members of the media tomorrow at 2 p.m.
But here’s the interesting part - Ryan Newman will also be giving a weekly teleconference CAM for members of the media tomorrow at 3 p.m.
NASCAR usually holds the press conferences for media to call in and ask questions at 2 p.m. but they’re doing a special one this week.
Makes you think, doesn’t it?
