Okay, surely there must be some option for Harvick, Busch and Greg Biffle to swear never to drive for Bill Davis ever again after a performance like that

Anyway, here are the sponsorship schedules for the two BAM Racing cars, as promised:

Car #59

Also, is it a bad time to point out that GMAC is actually owned by General Motors at the time, and thus there's no way in hell they'd sponsor a non-Chevy team?

The schedule for car #92 will be as follows:

Also, is it a bad time to point out that GMAC is actually owned by General Motors at the time, and thus there's no way in hell they'd sponsor a non-Chevy team?

Oops thanks for pointing that out wizzie

[Samster]

Still need bids from go_rubens as well as simonracer's salary offers.

[Samster]

Well balls. Wish you'd told me when I first made the sponsor list. Erm for the sake of not screwing over MB2, in this universe GM will sell off GMAC for trying to sponsor a Nissan team. Yeah that works.

Although for the Fosters 300 is it possible if Phoenix could have 2001 Ascar Champion John Mickel driving the #76 in the Foster 3000

Since Mickel has driven the Rockingham oval several times, he is approved to run the Foster 300 only. He does request to run #66 however when he is in the car. He'll bring $100,000 from Xerox.

[FA1L]

Also, Evernham are offering Scott Dixon the seat in our part-time REC, but we are only able to offer him an $1mil salary.

[Samster]

Also, Evernham are offering Scott Dixon the seat in our part-time REC, but we are only able to offer him an $1mil salary.

As defending Indycar champion Scott Dixon is approved to run on all tracks except the restrictor plate tracks.

[Salamander]

Also, Evernham are offering Scott Dixon the seat in our part-time REC, but we are only able to offer him an $1mil salary.

Uh, you do realise Scott Dixon drives for Chip Ganassi in IndyCar, right? As in, the same Chip Ganassi that runs a team in NASCAR?

Darn, I forgot. Shame on me

Since's he controls Ganassi I'll leave that one up to Simonracer whether Dixon is allowed to race for Evernham.

Oooh, on that basis then, Kirk Shelmerdi8ne will be owner driver then. Thanks for the tip off.

[simonracer]

Still need bids from go_rubens as well as simonracer's salary offers.

I already edited my original post two days ago, but since it seems you missed that, then I'm just going to post it again.

Chip Ganassi (3 cars = 15 drivers) - in order of preference
Sterling Marlin ($8 mil)
Bobby Labonte ($6 mil)
Terry Labonte ($6 mil)
Jeff Burton ($6 mil)
Michael Waltrip ($6 mil)
Jamie McMurray ($6 mil)
Robby Gordon ($4 mil)
Ward Burton ($4 mil)
Elliott Sadler ($4 mil)
Johnny Benson ($4 mil)
Casey Mears ($4 mil)
Dave Blaney ($2 mil)
Kenny Wallace ($2 mil)
Todd Bodine ($2 mil)
Tony Raines ($2 mil)

Since's he controls Ganassi I'll leave that one up to Simonracer whether Dixon is allowed to race for Evernham.

I'm fine with Dixon driving for Evernham, as long as it doesn't clash with his IndyCar commitments.

[Peteroli34]

Although for the Fosters 300 is it possible if Phoenix could have 2001 Ascar Champion John Mickel driving the #76 in the Foster 3000

Since Mickel has driven the Rockingham oval several times, he is approved to run the Foster 300 only. He does request to run #66 however when he is in the car. He'll bring $100,000 from Xerox.

Thats all fine by me Mickel will run #66 at rockingham

[FA1L]

Also, Evernham are offering Scott Dixon the seat in our part-time REC, but we are only able to offer him an $1mil salary.

As defending Indycar champion Scott Dixon is approved to run on all tracks except the restrictor plate tracks.

OK. We can afford 5 races, and we´d like him to race at Las Vegas, Texas, Motegi, Indianapolis and Richmond.

[TomWazzleshaw]

Well balls. Wish you'd told me when I first made the sponsor list. Erm for the sake of not screwing over MB2, in this universe GM will sell off GMAC for trying to sponsor a Nissan team. Yeah that works.

Or we can casually swap the GMAC and Viagra sponsorship names around, and nobody would be any the wiser

If roblomas and Seedstriker are both fine with that, I won't change the sponsorship money either team receives.

[Samster]

Time for the driver RNGs. I'll run these in the order the drivers finished in the 2003 drivers championship. This is a very long post.

Matt Kenseth only has an offer from Roush. He'll stay in the #17.

Jimmie Johnson will stay in the Hendrick #48.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Has an offer to stay with DEI but would prefer to drive a Chevrolet and has an offer from Hendrick with the largest salary offer of the silly season.
1-60 Hendrick
61-90 DEI
91-100 Evernham

34, He signs with Hendrick to drive the #25.

Jeff Gordon will stay in the Hendrick #24.

Kevin Harvick Has an offer to stay with Childress as well as an ambitious offer from Davis.
1-95 Richard Childress Racing ($6,000,000) 1
96-100 Bill Davis Racing ($5,500,000) 2

79, He stay in the Childress #29.

Ryan Newman only has an offer to stay in the Penske #12 which he accepts.

Tony Stewart Has an offer to stay with Gibbs but would prefer a Chevrolet team. Hendrick are attractive but Childress are offering more money and he's more likely to have a team leader role.
1-50 Richard Childress Racing ($13,000,000) 2
51-85 Hendrick Motorsports ($11,500,000)
86-100 Joe Gibbs Racing ($12,000,000) 1

91 Despite the switch to Toyota, Stewart remains loyal to Gibbs and stays in the #20.

Bobby Labonte Staying with Gibbs is the favourite as only Ganassi matched their offer.
1-70 Joe Gibbs Racing ($6,000,000) 2
71-85 Chip Ganassi Racing ($6,000,000) 2
86-95 Richard Childress Racing ($5,000,000) 5
96-100 MB2 Motorsports ($5,500,000) 3

8 Labonte will stay in the Gibbs #18.

31-60 Dale Earnhardt Inc. ($6,000,000) 5
61-85 Chip Ganassi Racing ($6,000,000) 3

96-100 PPI Motorsports ($5,000,000) 2

63 Terry will move to Ganassi.

96-98 MB2 Motorsports ($5,500,000) 1

15 Kurt signs with Penske to drive the new #00 team.

Jeff Burton Roush haven't offered to renew but he has offers from seven other teams.
1-30 Richard Childress Racing ($8,500,000) 4

96-99 Bill Davis Racing ($5,500,000) 1
100 Petty Enterprises ($2,500,000) 2

47 Jeff Burton moves to Evernham.

Jamie McMurray Has offers from nine teams including current team Ganassi who have made the best offer.
1-25 Chip Ganassi Racing ($6,000,000) 6
26-50 Evernham Motorsports ($5,250,000) 9
51-65 Bill Davis Racing ($5,100,000) 3

96-98 MB2 Motorsports ($2,000,000) 4
99-100 PPI Motorsports ($3,500,000) 3

28 McMurray opts for Evernham but he's low on their priority list. If Evernham sign one of the drivers higher up, I'll run McMurray's RNG again.

Rusty Wallace will stay in the Penske #2 completing their lineup.

Michael Waltrip DEI have made an offer to renew but four other teams have at least matched their offer.
1-20 Roush Racing ($5,000,000) 7

81-100 Richard Childress Racing ($5,000,000) 9

71 Waltrip will stay in the DEI #15.

Robby Gordon RCR have offered to renew but four other teams have made better offers though Evernham already has McMurray in their books for their remaining car and is ahead in the que.
1-35 Robert Yates Racing ($7,000,000) 2
36-50 Chip Ganassi Racing ($4,000,000) 7
51-65 Dale Earnhardt Inc. ($3,500,000) 10
66-80 Richard Childress Racing ($2,200,000) 6
81-90 Joe Gibbs Racing ($2,000,000) 9
91-99 Roush Racing ($2,000,000) 8
100 Morgan-McClure Motorsports ($2,000,000) 2

77 Gordon will stay in the Childress #31 opting for a higher team rather than a higher salary.

Mark Martin only has an offer from Roush and will stay in the #6.

Sterling Marlin Has offers from seven teams including all of the 'big four' teams though only Hendrick are offering more than his current team Ganassi.
1-50 Hendrick Motorsports ($9,500,000) 2
51-75 Chip Ganassi Racing ($8,000,000) 1
76-83 Roush Racing ($5,500,000) 4
84-91 Richard Childress Racing ($5,500,000) 10
92-97 Joe Gibbs Racing ($5,000,000) 7

41-70 Richard Childress Racing ($2,500,000) 8
71-100 Roush Racing ($2,000,000) 15

76 Mayfield prefers Roush but has drivers above him with offers.

Greg Biffle Roush has offered Biffle a second year but Evernham and Davis have offered more money.
1-50 Evernham Motorsports ($5,250,000) 8
51-70 Bill Davis Racing ($5,100,000) 4
71-85 Roush Racing ($2,500,000) 3
86-100 Joe Gibbs Racing ($2,000,000) 14

6 Biffle prefers Evernham but is low down on their list. However this puts McMurray out of the frame.

Jamie McMurray
1-40 Chip Ganassi Racing ($6,000,000) 6
41-60 Bill Davis Racing ($5,100,000) 3
61-75 Roush Racing ($2,000,000) 12

91-98 Jasper Racing ($2,000,000) 9
99-100 PPI Motorsports ($2,000,000) 5

14 Ward prefers Evernham but this depends on Dale Jarrett signing elsewhere. This shuts the door for Biffle.

Greg Biffle
1-40 Bill Davis Racing ($5,100,000) 4
41-80 Roush Racing ($2,500,000) 3
81-100 Joe Gibbs Racing ($2,000,000) 14

13 Biffle takes the higher salary and moves to Davis as long as one of Dale Jarrett and Ricky Rudd don't sign.

Elliott Sadler After one season, Yates haven't offered to renew but Sadler has offers from seven teams including one to return to Wood Brothers.
1-20 Wood Brothers Racing ($5,000,000) 2

81-90 MB2 Motorsports ($2,000,000) 6
91-100 Jasper Racing ($2,000,000) 5

27 Sadler signs for Ganassi completing their lineup.

Ricky Rudd Wood Brothers have offered to renew but Rudd has offers from six other teams all at least matching Wood's offer.
1-25 Joe Gibbs Racing ($5,000,000) 8
26-50 Dale Earnhardt Inc. ($5,000,000) 6
51-65 Bill Davis Racing ($5,100,000) 2
66-80 Wood Brothers Racing ($5,000,000) 1
81-87 Jasper Racing ($5,000,000) 1
88-94 Haas CNC Racing ($5,000,000) 2
95-100 PPI Motorsports ($6,000,000) 1

78 Rudd opts to stay in the Wood Brothers #21. This means Biffle gets the Davis #23.

Johnny Benson Had offers from Penske and Ganassi but both have already filled their teams so he is left to sign for DEI.

Joe Nemechek Has equal offers from three teams.
1-40 Roush Racing ($2,000,000) 11
41-80 Joe Gibbs Racing ($2,000,000) 10
81-100 Haas CNC Racing ($2,000,000) 3

Dale Jarrett
1-25 Evernham Motorsports ($7,000,000) 4
26-45 Roush Racing ($5,000,000) 6

86-95 Bill Davis Racing ($5,500,000) 3
96-100 Wood Brothers Racing ($4,500,000) 3

13 Dale Jarrett completes Evernham's lineup meaning Ward Burton has to look elsewhere.

Ward Burton
1-70 Roush Racing ($2,000,000) 14
71-90 Jasper Racing ($2,000,000) 9
91-100 PPI Motorsports ($2,000,000) 5

21 With three seats still open and only two drivers left ahead of him Ward is in at Roush.

81-100 Jasper Racing ($2,000,000) 6

81-90 Morgan-McClure Motorsports ($1,000,000) 4
91-100 Phoenix Racing ($1,000,000) 3

73 Kenny prefers Gibbs but is low on their list. Blaney now has to hope for Roush.

1-40 Richard Childress Racing ($1,250,000) 11
41-80 Roush Racing ($1,000,000) 19
81-100 Jasper Racing ($1,000,000) 7

32 The Onion gets his big break and completes RCR's lineup.

Steve Park only has his offer from MB2 left which he accepts.

I'll run the RNGs for the part time teams tomorrow.

All of your bids failed. So yes you can have Morgan for free.

Both Bill Davis Racing and Robert Yates Racing have a seat still open so Andrew and Wallio will have to submit more bids.

If it's okay, I'd like to take over Arnold Motorsports.

It does appear however there are no untaken sponsors left. Which leaves me in quite a pickle. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that one...

1. Derrick Cope - Nothing (it's his equipment anyways)
2. Frank Kimmell - $250,000
3. Dick Trickle - $250,000
4. James Hylton - $100,000
5. Joe Ruttman - $200,000

Travis Kvapil signs for Bill Davis Racing.

Dave Blaney signs for Robert Yates Racing.

Derrike Cope will drive the Arnold #50.

Coy Gibbs will drive the BAM #59.

Shawna Robinson will drive the Phoenix #76. She brings $200,000 from Vasserette who will serve as an associate sponsor.

Paul Menard accepts the offer to drive the #33 at Laguna Seca and Watkins Glen

Ron Fellows accepts the offer to drive the #32 in the four races requested.

Jason Plato accepts the offer to drive the #4 in road courses and Rockingham.

Scott Pruett will drive the Jasper #87 if Ganassi (simonracer) give him permission. If not then Paul Menard will drive the races he doesn't do for RCR with Scott Gaylord doing the rest.

Tony Ave will drive the DSI #13.

Carlos Contreras and Austin Cameron agree to drive for MB2 and Haas whenever needed.

Finally Bill Elliott would like to drive the Evernham #90 in both the Budweiser Shootout and the All-Star Race. As non-championship races, these won't count towards your entry allowance. McDonalds would sponsor these two races as well as the one they already agreed to.

[simonracer]

Scott Pruett can drive for Jasper if he wants to.
