According to Nascar.com, the RCR stable will be running a fourth car next year, #33, and has a multi year sponsor in General Mills. General Mills will be leaving the #43 car after nine years. Although a driver has not been named for the #33 car, it is rumored that Bobby Labonte, who drives the #21 RCR car part time in the Nationwide series, will make the switch from the #43 car. Substantiating the rumor is also the friendship of Labonte & Kevin Harvick, and that Labonte was rumored to take the 07 car before it was offered to Clint Boyer. Seems that Labonte didn't want to be sponsored by an alchohol company. I personally hope this is true because I'm a big Bobby Labonte fan and miss him in the #18 car he drove for most of his career.

Yes, the limit is four. Roush-Fenway has 5, but are grandfathered in until 2010 when it mush shed one of its teams.

I really hope that bobby makes the move to RCR, although he is getting older he still has some great races ahead of him and RCR will help him find victory lane again.

Actually, there was a two car team limit. Then the major players found a way around it. For instance, Jack Roush listed his mother as the owner of the #97 (now 26) Rick Hendrick listed his dad as the owner of the #25 (now 88) car. The new rule linits the number to 4 out of the same shop. Now, there is a way around that as Roush-Fenway racing has struck a engineering alliance with Yates Racing.

oh ok, yea I'm getting confused with all the stuff. Didn't coke do some kind of thing like that and have a ton of cars? I'm not sure. It just feels like they have way too many ways around teaming up on smaller teams.

The coke thing is just a personal sponsorship deal. They have no interactions with the teams.

i think he'll pull out another top 5 points pos this year. next year... idk its tough to say... childress said that the 07 pit crew isnt goin wit him which kinda lit my flame.. and bowyers too. but knoing childress he'll prolly move the team over with him. if he does that.. then clint bowyer... i feell.... will contend for the championship. If not... around 7th for next year.

hb the biffle tho.. 2 in a row. good job. and ha... kyle busch.. his flame has DIED. thank god.
