Truth be told, this is the smartest thing these owners could have done. I really don't understand all the manlove for Jaimie McMurray as the kid has won ONE friggin race in his career. The 42 isn't a bad ride by any means, especially with the 40 as a teammate, but whatever.
I don't know what the !@#$ is going on at Joe Gibbs Racing, but it's evident that Labonte needs to jam. The 20 seems unstopable and the 11 has been on a tear with Hamlin in the cockpit. The 11 should really make some noise next year with Hamlin full time. Where does that leave the 18? Probably with J.J. Yeley as the driver next year. I hate to see it because Labonte and Gibbs have been together so long, but damn, there's no way that they should be winless in back to back seasons. That is just !@#$ing crazy considering their history.
