I'm a little behind the curve on David's new ride...why did MWR let him go?
As usual, it boils down to $$$$.
Clint Bowyer (and his sponsorship money), went to MWR's #15 full-time for 2012. The #15 ran part-time in 2011 with Michael at the wheel.
Mark Martin was looking for an opportunity to race in 2012, and signed on to run the #00 in 25 races. Michael is going to drive it in the others..
I'm pretty sure that's how it all went down. Michael is really trying to make his team competitive on a consistent basis...the money from Bowyer's deal along with Martin's experience theoretically puts him on that path.
Kind of a rough deal for Reutimann, who is one of my favorites.
