At the time, Franchitti was at Andretti Autosport in Indycar & despite winning the 2007 Indy 500 & that year’s Indycar title wasn’t too happy with how Andretti stifled his opportunities to race in other series especially sports cars & NASCAR. Dario also felt as though Marco Andretti was getting better equipment & cars simply because he was Michael’s son even though Dario was the better driver. Once his NASCAR career ended, Dario decided to wait 8 months before deciding to join Ganassi on the Indycar side for the 2009 season. Michael Andretti immediately accused Ganassi of tampering because they had talked to Dario about the NASCAR opportunity while Dario was still a full time Indycar driver with Andretti. Indycar decided that there was no tampering & let Dario join Ganassi where he remained for the rest of his racing career until a violent accident at the Houston GP in 2013 ended his career.

The #42 team wasn’t withdrawn after Irwin’s death. They took the week off, and came back as the #01 team.

I just got done listen to Dale Jr’s podcast where he said RCR was going to probably come out of no where and grab him.
I remember my jaw hitting the ground when Kyle finally announced it. It’s not Wacky by any means, But thats probably the biggest silly season moment I’ve experienced as a NASCAR fan.
