He'll get a nationwide series drive and still earn more than if he was in Indycar...

Does this mean he has to get rid of the private jet?

Word around town the last few weeks is that he's already signed a deal w/ Ganassi.

For what?
Nappycar Targetmobile.
If Chipo hires AJ to race the Target car, he can basically guarantee another great Nascar seaon with no wins, no poles, 1 top 10. Great job dude! :rofl:
Some guys have the ability to make the switch to stockcar racing, and some guys don't. AJ has been completely useless in stock cars; trucks, nationwide, and cup. Uselesss! So, what makes you say he can do anything next year? Hornish is another guy that should get the boot.
He'll get a decent Grand-Am ride with Mike Shank or someone, get a gentleman driver as a teammate who is willing to pay him a $250,000 a year salary and be happy.

Nappycar Targetmobile.
Replacing Sorenson with Allmendinger isn't going to turn that team around. Drivers aren't the problem. But I bet A.J. comes a lot cheaper at this point.

It should be quite apparent to everyone that, as long as he's getting paid, Chip doesn't really care how well the cab operation does.

Just a little trade down for AJ.

Just think, had he stayed in Champcar he would have had a whole year of dodging the hearse under his belt already.....
I don't understand the hate on AJ, I mean all he was trying to do was get the highest paying job. If he never races again, he has accomplished more than 99% of the wankers on Internet message boards ;)

Don't blame him for wanting to make more money. Don't blame him for wanting to go to NASCAR. Don't blame him for leaving a failing series when the gettin was good. Do blame him for being an arrogant ass during the process. :)
File this under careful what you ask for.... :laugh:

Which goes first? The jet or Miss Molson Indy Kushnirenko?

I'm sick and tired of the "don't blame the guy for going for the money" BS. AJ ran his snotty face on national television about how open wheel racing was the end all be all for him and how he would never leave it. He's a little primadonna that got spanked and now Speed will show him how to drive.
He'll live the rest of his life wondering if he had the kohonies and talent to win championships in IndyCar. He'll never know.
At least I've seen his wife naked and for that they both have my heartfelt gratitude.
Win championships in IndyCar? Little late there for the real thing. :rofl:

Say what you like, he could retire comfortably now and compete in motorkhanas for the rest of this life.

Not quite. The maintenance package on the Kushmobile 9000 is hellish. And the jet's a financial drain too, although I know a guy who's good for $500 worth of fuel. :thumbup:

And he's now back in? Speed (http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/cup-allmendinger-reportedly-replacing-sadler-at-gem/) says that Dinger is dotting the I's and crossing the T's on a contract that would have him replacing Elliott Sadler at Evernham.
WTF? Sadler is one of the most popular drivers in NASCAR and has some serious sponsor cred. Does Dinger have that same cred or just photos of someone doing someone or something unsavory? :saywhat:

Sadler replaced by Allmendinger? UPDATE: AJ Allmendinger is set to replace Elliott Sadler in the #19 Dodge in 2009, multiple Gillett Evernham Motorsports team sources told ESPN.com on Saturday. GEM CEO Tom Reddin told team employees and sponsors the news just before Christmas, causing some sponsors to consider leaving, according to team sources. Reached for comment Saturday, GEM spokesman Drew Brown chose not to comment. Sources also said Ray Evernham, who founded the team and sold majority ownership to George Gillett, cleared out all personal possessions from the team's shop, including the 2002 Brickyard 400 trophy he won as owner of Bill Elliott's #9 Dodge. Calls placed to Evernham and Sadler's representation were not immediately returned.(ESPN.com)(12-27-2008)
UPDATE: Allmendinger will join Kasey Kahne in the flagship #9 GEM Dodge and newcomer Reed Sorenson, who will pilot the #43 Dodge following the imminent announcement of the merger between owner George Gillett and Richard Petty.
AND Sadler? Sadler's possibilities are rumored to include the #41 Chevy at Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing or the #77 Dodge at Penske Racing should Sam Hornish Jr. replace Helio Castroneves in the IRL IndyCar Series [who faces a trial and possible jail over IRS charges].(FoxSports), no word on who would drive the #10 Dodge of GEM in 2009.(12-28-2008)

Must mean Dinger is Evernham's new love toy. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I thought Evernham sold the team completely.

UPDATE: Gillett Evernham Motorsports and driver Elliott Sadler have reached an agreement that enables Sadler to retain his position as driver of the team's #19 Dodge, thereby moving AJ Allmendinger to a part-time ride, multiple GEM sources told ESPN.com. It seems Allmendinger will drive a fourth GEM Dodge on a limited basis.
