If Jack Roushcan't find a place in his operation for someone like Mark,who made Jack what he is today then his true selfishness and greed show through.Remember Jeff Burton?Acccording to Jack ,he was not even worth finding a sponsor for,thats why he rolled arounde in the back in a plain white #99 for so long before he got into a R.C.R. car and made the chase.Mark my words,Carl and Jamie are next

Carl Edwards not only will keep His ride, He will more than likely, get a new bigger contract. as for Mark, nobody, let Him get away, He left on His own. it was His decision. You should know what You are talking about before, You say something that makes You look ignorant.

Jack didn't let go of Mark he retired. Carl is a great driver and once they get him with the right crew chief he will go far. He isn't the only Roush driver who had problems last year. How many Fords were actually in the top 10 in the race for the chase? I know of only two off the top of my head. All the teams had problems last year. Jamie's problems were the fact that they couldn't find him a good crew chief. The one he has now is alot like Donnie Wingo so I have all the confidence in Jamie to be in the top 12. Do we forget so fast that jamie was almost in the top 10 two years ago. He was 25 pts away. That was because of stupid Nascar taking away those points at Bristol because his back window was a centimeter to small. Jamie is a great driver and once he stays out of the wrecks he will be awesome. I can't stand Roush and never have, but Carl and Jamie are the best he has right now so I know he will stick with them. Jack wanted Jamie after his rookie season. Everyone needs to learn their facts before they start saying things they have no idea what they are talking about.

Carl Edwards isn't going anywhere. maybe Jamie, but definetly not Carl. Who's he gonna put in the 99? Todd Kluever? I don't think so. He won 4 races 2 years ago, and he had 20 top 10s last year. Give him some time this year, and he will have the same numbers at the end of the season. and Mark wasnt released, it was his decision to leave. him and Jack had agreed upon that for at least 2 years.

Roush racing had no part time or developmental team for Mark.So Mark went the only route he could to secure a ride on his terms.
Of the 2 Carl and Jamie look for Carl to keep his ride longer than Jamie.The chemistry for Jamie is not too good now.
Personally There should be no more than 2 teams per owner.When you have more than that some of the teams fail,this is what we are starting to see on several multi car teams.

Carl will rebound big time this year since crew chief Bob Osborne is back on top of Carl's war wagon. If anyone at Roush-Fenway needs to be worried about job security, it's Jamie McMurray. Where are the results Jamie? Can anybody picture Erik Darnell taking McMurray's place before the year is out?

mark left on his own he just wanted to run part time so he went to help out ginn racing and help the rookie driver there ,mark could have stayed and raced for jack as long as he wanted to it was his decision not jacks so dont blame jack for wanting to get his rookie driver in the #6 this year so he can start to move on without mark besides kenseth is still there you know the one that has the championship mark still dreams of having and yes carl will rebound he is a great talent that will bounce back kasey kahne done the same thing his 2nd season and then bounced back to win the most races last year

My opinion is that Carl Edwards is a fare driver if he wins he wins if he loses he loses then maybe he may or may not have a job at the end of the season you never know in Nascar. Look at a driver like Dale Jarrett he has a championship win and now he is driving for Micheal Waltrip who half the time can not make the race. When Dale has his championship to help get him into a race. which I think is how he was able to drive at California.

Carl? the Richie Cunningham of NASCAR? It goes like this: first you stop getting top-10's. Second, you lose your sponsor. Third Jack-in-the-ugly-hat pulls the plug. As far as Mark goes, he'll kick a** this year in a Chevy.

Sure he can, I think we all just saw many of the faults of Carl Edwards in 2006. Like on the short tracks he's a little impatient and sometimes he is driving hard as if he is trying to impress someone in "the next Racing series up". Now he needs to realize that there is no next racing and get some consistency. What hurt Edwards was the breaking up of his crew chief Bob Osborne. Team chemistry is king in NASCAR and it is one thing that is hard to get back.
