With the signing of Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s most prominent free agent, the 2007 Silly Season may have begun in earnest.
On the surface, it would seem that putting Earnhardt Jr. under contract ended negotiations. But wait. Now Kyle Busch is available. Greg Biffle isn’t signed beyond 2008. A host of other drivers are in contract-signing years as well. What happens now?
Team owners must be dying to get their hands on Busch. Even if he’s made his future decision, he’s probably still hearing a pitch or two. He’s 22, talented and capable of winning on a weekly basis. He’s unquestionably future championship material.
So what does his availability do?
And what about the others? Behind the scenes, phones are probably ringing off the hook.
So take heart gossip-lovers. Earnhardt Jr. may have made his decision, but the real game is about to begin.
Who will be next?
