Nationwide owner Jay Robinson forms Cup team: Nationwide Series veteran team owner Jay Robinson will enter into his 12th year in the series and has partnered with Troy Blakeney of Houston, Texas to form Robinson-Blakeney Racing, LLC and will field a Sprint Cup Series car with Toyota as its manufacturer. The new team intends to run full time in both series this year. "I am very excited about our new venture into the Cup series", said team owner Jay Robinson" We have all of the cars and equipment in place. We will be running engines prepared by Race Engines Plus and are hoping to hire a driver very soon." The #28 Nationwide car will continue into the 2012 Season with a variety of drivers throughout the season. Jeff Spraker and his Spraker Racing Enterprises group has been hired to head up the Nationwide efforts. Troy Blakeney, with offices in Houston and Fort Worth, Texas is relatively new to the sport and brings a wealth of business knowledge and experience which will certainly prove to be an asset in the venture. Robinson-Blakeney Racing will run Toyotas from their Monroe N. C. based. The team will soon be announcing their drivers, crew chiefs and sponsorships.(Robinson-Blakeney Racing)(1-16-2012)

I meant running every race of the season. It has been terrible the past few years. I miss the mid to late 90's. Racing was so good then.

Wonder when the last Nationwide/Busch race was that had no full time Cup drivers in it... 2000 maybe? When they still ran Myrtle Beach & SoBo?

Brad Keselowski is only running a partial schedule this year. Parker Kligermann is going to be splitting time with him. I don't know of anybody who is planning on running both the full Cup and Nationwide schedules this year. I find that fact refreshing after recent years.

David Ragan will drive the #34. Gilliland moves to the 38. Not sure what's happening with the 55, Kvapil, or Yeley.

Tony Stewart is guest starring on ABC's Last Man Standing, which I guess hasn't been cancelled yet. I'm sure it will be remembered just as fondly as the many IndyCar driver cameos on Home Improvement...

So Robby, those Dakar organisers sure love American drivers don't they? I don't think so, Tim.

Wow I forgot about Robby being on there. They had quite a few Indy Car drivers on there . Robby Gordon, Big and Little Al, Johnny Rutherford, Mario and Michael Andretti. Any others? I wanna say Rick Mears or Tom Sneva? Danny Sullivan maybe? I remember the one wear the Boys wreck the RC Rick Mears Pennzoil car.

Wow, looks like Tony has lost a few more pounds over the off season. Any idea which episode his cameo will be in? It's a decent show but Home Improvement was sublime. I got every season on DVD and watch atleast a few episodes every week. codename_47 wrote: So Robby, those Dakar organisers sure love American drivers don't they? I don't think so, Tim.

Don't have time to watch it at the moment, but if there's anything Jimmy Spencer-related in there, it doesn't count. Because fuck Jimmy Spencer.

Kind of an off topic question, but has anyone heard when the new 2013 Cup car will be unveiled? There has been a lot of talk about this past week.

Someone decided to document Kurt Busch's rage/incidents. It's 75 minutes long.
