Sounds like the #27 with David Ragan is having a good NNS race.

Would be nice to see JV in that car.

yes and the 30 car is just ahead of him, Canadian Steve Arpin.

Oh ya Cassee, Ragan 6th and Arpin 10th. That is a good ride GCIR is producing.

No more JV sound in Nascar.
Difficult to believe in a return.

Yes, GCMI seems to be running on a small budget and will probably stick to Ragan and Ranger in the drivers seat.

Well, I guess we'll get some news after Jacques visit in Maranello. I'm sure there will be a lot of Press.

It's finally time for some good news!!

I know there has been no news of JV in Nascar this year but do you think he will still race the Nationwide Event in Montreal? That is his home track and he seems to always get a ride in that race? What does everyone think?

What we're hearing here is that both Road America and Montreal are kinda gimmies for Jacques with Penske again... but hasn't been officially confirmed yet, neither. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything serious on the burner.

Welcome to the lounge hrojbr!
Hope some good vibes after Maranello, time for a restart don't you think?

Welcome hrobjr!

Thanks everyone! I can't for any news on JV in Nascar to be confirmed.

I'm still hoping for the JV/GCMI deal to happen...

I've found these comments on GCMI's Facebook page:

Are you in talks with Jacques Villeneuve? Will you ever sign him or can we just forget about it?

Thank you for your question, we are exited to announce that David Ragan and Andrew Ranger are our drivers for the 2012 season. At this point, we have nothing finalized with Jacques Villeneuve.

Do you know why Villeneuve and GC Motorsports Internatinal contract is in ice, and Canadian drivers fail to drive rumored to 12 Nationwide races?

Well, I guess they're having a hard time finding sponsors. They've done a couple of start and parks to finance their races.

This is serious.

Discount Tire will have something real to complain about.

Maybe a ride for JV

I wish too but my gut is it will not be JV as the recent Penske exec (Tim Cindric) saying plainly that they hired JV at dodges request for 2 races for 2 years.
Emphasis on the period

Cassee your right for sure.

Dodge GCI team ?

Dodge buying Penske's engine program?
For those worried about Dodge perhaps folding its tent at the end of 2012, without any teams yet on its 2013 NASCAR roster, the good news is that Chrysler officials, according to company sources, have just ordered a full inventory of Penske's NASCAR engine operation (80-men strong), with firm indications the company will buy Penske's Dodge operation and go into the NASCAR 'customer engine' business itself, just as Toyota does with its Los Angeles-based TRD NASCAR engine building program.

Such a move by Chrysler would open the door for someone like Michael Andretti to venture into NASCAR with a new Sprint Cup team (even though Penske himself has warned Andretti that running a NASCAR team requires five times as many people and three times as much money to operate as an Indy-car team). One Dodge question is whether the Richard Petty two-car team, currently fielding Fords, with factory support, would stick with Ford or move to Dodge.(MikeMulhern.net)(7-7-2012)

NASCAR: Allmendinger tested positive for stimulants - statement

If it's sudafed or caffeine that's just "above cutoff" he'll probably get away with it. If it's cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, bath salts or designer"party drugs" then he's in trouble and needs help.

AJ had a previous DUI not so long ago.

Wow, He just threw his career away.

Incredible, for, I guess, a bit of ecstasy...
