And now Ryan Newman just got fired. I wonder what he did?

Made a little too much noise about his options and the poor state of
his team, I'd guess. Although the smart money says he's already got
his contracts all but signed for another ride. He's a huge asset to
any team trying to get a car in on speed. Hell, he should become a
free agent qualifying specialist or something. He'd make a small
fortune off the bubble teams.

Once they see what Kyle Busch can do with that 30 extra horsepower I bet a lot of drivers are looking for a Toyota team. At Chicagoland Kyle Busch just went around Jimmie Johnson like he was not even there on the restart.
