Is this just a play to get Dover, Pocono & Indianapolis off the schedule? I didn't understand that, either. It's not like we have a whole bunch of other track owners. It's just those 3 (unless lower series are included; I don't know how many Xfinity and truck tracks are owned by other people).

Joey Gase is going to attempt the Daytona 500 in an MBM car.
And Mike Wallace is apparently going to return next year, as he's evidently been offered a ride in one of the Rick Ware cars. Definitely a weird out-of-the-blue return (didn't he just have open-heart surgery like a couple years back?), but then again, Derrike Cope, Stanton Barrett, Hermie Sadler, Carl Long, and Mark Thompson are all guys who have suddenly reappeared in Cup after many years absent in recent years...so I guess that trend is continuing in 2019.

I remembered seeing Quin Houff at his debut at Bristol a few years back. He did pretty well given his equipment, finishing in 15th on the lead lap. His best finish was a 12th @ Iowa 2017. He also raced for JD a couple of times last year. Overall, he seems like not a bad driver but is WAY too inexperienced to be driving a Cup car at this point (only 11 starts in all NASCAR-sanctioned events)

I remember him from ARCA and he did dabble in Xfinity a little while ago too (did he race any last year? Can't remember.) So I know who he is...
...but is he ready for Cup? Hell to the no. This is pretty much like Gray Gaulding basically bypassing the lower series to get promoted straight to Cup with BK racing. Houff seems like he has *some* talent but he is FAR too green to be going straight into Cup.
Does Houff have Daddy Money? I can't think of any other reason why he'd be going straight to Cup.
