Roush to help Yates...and maybe himself too
With Yates moving next to the shops of Roush it wasn't too surprising to hear that Roush was going to help Yates out. How exactly are they helping them out? Well, Roush is going to build the cars for Yates now, along with their own, Yates will also have the technology and engineering help of Roush to help get the Yates cars back to what they once were, contenders.
With Yates struggling the way it was, it seemed like a nice gesture on Roush's part right? I mean help a fellow Ford team out, but is it more than that? Everyone knows that Roush will have to drop one of his cars to be within NASCAR's four car rule, I wouldn't be surprised if we see either the #16 or #26 move over to the Yates team when the time comes, essentially making them a three car team and Roush a four car team, well within NASCAR's rules.
Does NASCAR realize that this is what Roush/Yates might have in mind to get around the rule? Probably, but I've been told that there's nothing in the rules that would prevent this from happening.
Your thoughts?

Kevin,
Kind of...Roush is going to do all the building whereas RCR/DEI combined their engine program.
I hope they can help Yates, but I think they need different drivers too.
