If you saw wind tunnel or speed news 2 weeks ago, u'd know why he should leave the POS team. Hope he can go to Gannasi or Penske and make a 3 car team.
When the team boss orders the drivers to move over and they fail to comply, shit's going to fly.

Hell it happened in Atlantics in 06 (and these are PAYING drivers, not paid) and believe me the driver got a helluva bollocking in San Jose (driver and team will remain anon from me, but you can guess who's the dick )

I would be sad to see Tony leave AGR but I was sad already at the way he has been treated this year BY that team. He needs to do what he has to while he is still young enough to get a good ride.

I would almost think Penske might be more likely since Ganassi usually seems to favor hiring of younger guys he can pay less to I love Chip but he IS a cheap bastard

Maybe Directv will expand its relationship with the IRL.....and price it reasonably. Plus, VS is near Speedtv in the program guide - now that is convenience!

Five years is an ETERNITY! I am really surprised by this! Even more surprised that Chip was going to pay whatever Tony wanted for a salary! I hope AGR appreciates this. Wonder if there are any kinda loopholes to get out of the 5 year deal if certain conditions are not met?

Well he's the "big dog" at AGR and may not have been with Target/Ganassi

The entire AGR organization needs to pucker up and kiss his behind now
