NASCAR-hopping... Ryan Newman. More fans will be getting new hats for race day! Newman and Richard Childress Racing parted ways after the '18 season - For 2019, Ryan Newman takes over the #6 at Rousch-Fenway.
Daniel Hemric will move into the Newman ride at RCR. Originally #31, RCR has also announced a number change with Hemric to #8.
Trevor Bayne and Matt Kenseth were in the #6 but no firm announcements have been made for 2019. However, The Furniture Row NASCAR charter has been purchased by promotions company Spire Sports + Entertainment. It appears they also have the number 77...
CAUTION: Pure speculation ahead... What better way to make a premiere splash with a new team than with a seasoned veteran at the wheel...? It would not be too big of a leap to see someone like Matt Kenseth catch a seat...
As of now... Pure Speculation for entertainment purposes only...

NASCAR-hopping... For 2019 we'll see some changes in the seats. Kurt Busch made the move from Stewart-Haas to Chip Ganassi and will drive the #1 car with Monster Energy. Daniel Suarez moves from Joe Gibbs (#19) to take the wheel of the #41 at Stewart-Haas. Martin Truex Jr takes over the #19 at Joe Gibbs Racing as Furniture Row goes dark. Jamie McMurray moves out of the #1 and into Fox Sports broadcasting.
More driver updates are coming!
BTW.... You've got 1 month to get new hats for the Daytona 500...

We knew the long partnership between Jimmie Johnson and LOWES was ending. We heard last Fall at Martinsville Speedway that 2019 would put Jimmie in the driver's seat with Ally Financial. The new car was unveiled Friday morning on ABC's Good Morning America. Blue is out... Purple is in with the new Chevy Camaro #48! #jimmiejohnson #chevrolet #nascar #racing #daytona #ally
