2010 Listing has been updated 01/14/2010

[Tman]

In an interview of driver Max Papis, who drove the #13 GEICO Toyota for Germain Racing in 15 Sprint Cup races in 2009 [attempted to make 21], at a German racing website: Motorsport-Total.com, Papis said he would again run 20 Sprint Cup races in 2010 but plan to attempt most of the races, some as a start-and-park [make the race, start the race, park the car before the first pit stop], GEICO returns as the sponsor.

there on a tight budget and there gonna show up at some races that there not scheduled to run and if they qualify then max will start and park

Dave Blaney will remain driver of the #66 Toyota with the Prism Motorsports team owned by Phil Parsons and Randy Humphrey even though he was a start and park driver

Prism Motorsports will be adding a second car to be driven by Michael McDowell, Parsons said Friday

[Engine_Company]

1st Post has been updated again since there have been several annoucments so far this week.

[Engine_Company]

Original Post has been updated again.

The following announcements were made today:

• Air Force will sponsor Elliott Sadler for five races in 2010
• Tommy Baldwin Racing will switch to Chevy from Toyota in 2010
• Casey Mears will drive for Keyed Up Motorsports in 2010

[10-75_THE_BOX]

Has anyone heard any info on Jeremy Mayfield since his second dirty drug test last year?
Although he is probably never going to drive a Cup car again, I hope he gets himself cleaned up and turns his life around.

I haven't been following it lately, but if you want to read back on this then you can go to this page, it should have all the latest Mayfield gossip.

Supposedly Dave Blaney will return to the 66 team and attempt to run the full season and not start-and-park as much, they also might be running a 2nd team car for Michael McDowell in some races, nothing officially has been announced about the team but McDowells number could be 55 or 91

[Tman]

The 25 may also be back late in 2010 for Henderick Motorsports If Danica Patrick does well in the #7 Chevy for JR Motorsports, Hendrick could run her in a race or two in this car late in the season with Tony Eury JR as crew chief

[Engine_Company]

List updated 01/30/2010

[Engine_Company]

List Updated again, Johnny Sauter will driver a #35 Chevy for Tommy Baldwin Racing, not many details announced yet, sounds like the team will run part time, I'm guessing as a Start & Park Team.

[Engine_Company]

2010 Listing has been updated again 02/01/2010

I combined Full & Part Time teams together to try to make it simpler.

I have a feeling that Danica will be popular, but not very sucessful on the track (kind of like Dale Jr.).

[Engine_Company]

One new update to the list today so far.

• Window World will sponsor Boris Said in the Daytona 500

[Engine_Company]

A few updates made to the listing today, mostly a few crew chief announcements.

[Engine_Company]

Updated Lineup today, many teams added now that the Daytona 500 entry list is released.
