Why can't Ganassi just be honest?
It seems as if Ganassi is bringing in another open-wheeler to the NASCAR fold. First off, I have no problem with them (open-wheel drivers) wanting to come to NASCAR, what I do have a problem with is the way Ganassi went about it.
He didn't renew his option on Stremme's contract because of "not knowing" whether they would have a sponsor for next year, obviously he wasn't telling the truth since he's wheelin' and dealin' and just about has Dario Franchitti signed for a Cup ride.
This isn't the first time he's done a driver wrong, in my opinion, he kept Mears hanging for a couple of years, not knowing if he would have a ride or not before Mears left for Hendrick Motorsports.
Once the deal is done, Franchitti will get some seat time in ARCA and the Busch Series so he'll be ready to compete for Rookie of the Year in 2008.
Like I said, I have no problem with the driver, more power to anyone who wants to move up and into NASCAR, I just think the way Ganassi went about it sucked.
Your thoughts?

Kind of what I thought. If he didn't have a ride/sponser for Stremme, why did he hire the 'other guy'? Yeah, its underhanded, but not the first time and won't be the last!

No, it won't be the last, too bad it had to go down that way though.
