According to this article on Fox Sports, Gibbs Racing may already be looking to put Logano in Tony Stewart’s current Cup ride. Now I’m all for giving the kid a chance, and if Tony should come out and say “Hey, after this season, I want to drive for someone else” I can see Gibbs giving the #20 to Logano. However, as Gibbs says in the article, they haven’t actually reached that point yet. They could still very well work out a deal with Tony to keep him at Gibbs. And I’m hoping they do. If they want Logano in a Cup ride, my idea would be to get a 4th car going.

To my idea, leaving isn’t going to help Tony any unless he goes back to driving Chevy. Why? Because this year it’s COT & Toyota. Granted, Hamlin & Busch made the same switch, but don’t forget, Tony’s older than they are. We old folks are set in our ways. Yes, that was a joke. But one thing I’ve noted about Tony is that he likes to race Chevys and frankly, I think that if he does make a move to a new team, it’ll be a team that runs Chevy. If he does, then by all means, stick Logano in the #20. If not, get a 4th ride because I don’t want to see any of the Gibbs drivers removed from their rides.

Do you think that a new team would cure Tony’s slump? Honestly, I don’t know. Right now, I’d really rather he stay with JGR. But you know what? I’m a Tony fan and if he moves to a new team, well, I’ll go right along with him!
