Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
UPDATE: Patrick Carpentier is officially a free agent as the driver says that Gillett Evernham Motorsports has told him it does not have a sponsor for him for next season. Carpentier had been free to talk to other teams, but GEM had first right of refusal until Tuesday. GEM could still find a sponsor for Carpentier, but the former open-wheel driver believes that likely will not happen. GEM already has three drivers under contract for next year current drivers #9-Kasey Kahne and #19-Elliott Sadler as well as Chip Ganassi Racings Reed Sorenson. Were talking to a couple of teams, and some of them seem to have a good interest, Carpentier said. Hopefully we do [find something], but you never know in racing. Carpentiers business partner, Robert Desrosiers, said he was optimistic that Carpentier could find a ride with another team. There are still some good rides [that] are available, Desrosiers said. Were talking to all these guys. Now that Patrick is free, I believe one of these teams will be interested in sitting down with us.(SceneDaily)(9-17-2008)
