Prepared to be disappointed.

Allgaier to run the 500 in the number 40 car with Greg Ives as the crew chief. No other races planned.

That is still pretty cool news, first cup start for JRM, hopefully the first of many.

As expected, Martin Truex Jr. is trying for the Daytona 500. Because of the lawsuit, instead of being the 4th 23XI car, it is the 5th JG...er, "Tricon" car, running the 56 number Truex ran with the long-dead Michael Waltrip Racing and long-time partner Cole Pearn as crew chief and Bass Pro Shops as the sponsor.

That makes 42 cars, which means at least 1 will go home before Daytona 500 Sunday, with 2 going home if Helio Castroneves qualifies or races his way in.
