or have they already made up their mind on who is driving their cars next year? I have heard Jeremy Mayfield's name mentioned as the driver that will jump in the 00 car after DJ leaves and Reutimann goes to the 44. Now I see on jayski that David Green was testing for MWR yesterday in Kentucky. Have they hired Green or is he possibly auditioning for the ride that Mayfield is rumored to be getting? Would Mikey consider getting out of the 15 and devote his time and attention to making MWR more competitive?

I heard, Mayfield, Green and Benson were testing for MWR. I'd like to see Mayfield get the ride..I think Mikey, should get ouf of the 55 and run the team and try to get them more competitive, if they don't get more competitive all the toyota attention is going to be at JGR...

Benson, Mayfield and Stremme have been cited as possibilities for the 00 car. Michael says he will continue to drive the 55 car next year and MWR will run three cars, even though the future of Domino's and Burger King with the team is uncertain.
His organization has a lot of potential. They have great sponsors and the speed has been good as of late. They just need strong personnel across the board to get the organization moving in the right direction. A few top 10 finishes wouldn't hurt either.

...I am not sure but I think they are. It seems like I read somewhere that MWR will be running a third cup team after all.
From Jayski's
Waltrip also confirmed that MWRH will field three full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup teams and one full-time Nationwide Series effort in 2008, and that rookie David Reutimann has renewed his driving contract to remain in the MWRH stable for the next three years.
...And what Beth said is right. They are considering him. http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/rumors/post/Benson-to-MWR-in-08-?urn=nascar,49123

I saw Johnny Bensons name mentioned somewhere this morning. I don't know who it will be.
