Michael Waltrip Racing mulling owner points swap

By Jeff Gluck - Associate Editor
Sunday, March 16, 2008

BRISTOL, Tenn. – If needed, Michael Waltrip Racing could swap its owner points to ensure that drivers David Reutimann and Michael Waltrip are locked into the top 35 beginning at Martinsville.

With MWR set to have different drivers in two of its cars after Dale Jarrett’s final points race on Sunday, rookie driver Michael McDowell said he’ll likely inherit the owner points of the car that is outside the top 35, if necessary.
           
All three MWR cars are currently in the top 35, but McDowell knows it makes little sense to have the unsponsored No. 00 locked into the field with David Reutimann and the No. 44 UPS car or Michael Waltrip and the No. 55 Napa car on the outside.

“We’re just going to keep our fingers crossed that all three cars are in the top 35,” McDowell said.

“I do know that if one of the cars is out, more than likely that’s going to be the points that I’m going to get starting out.”

McDowell said the change would have less to do with the drivers themselves and more to do with the sponsor situation.

“It’s more that we have great partners with UPS or Napa, and the most important thing is making sure those cars are in the race,” he said.
“The 00 right now, when I move into it, is not fully funded. Therefore, the UPS and Napa cars will take priority over that 00.”

As for finding a sponsor, McDowell said the only thing he can do is get the best finishes possible once he debuts at Martinsville.

“We all know that this is a performance-related business and the only thing that’s going to sell sponsorship for us is going out there and providing results,” he said.

Aaron’s has sponsored the No. 00 and Reutimann through the first five races.

Mentioned Drivers: Michael Waltrip

    They need to get rid of this top 35 bull i have listen to people talk about this since they started it. There is NO reason for it if it rains you line up by points other wise you qualify and the fastest 43 cars start every body Else hit the road easy. Also get rid of the LUCKY DOG it has nothing to do with any thing they line the lap cars up on the inside of the leader anyway if the guy is good enough to be on the lead lap he will be there.

    "Performance-related?" Too bad the performance has little to do with actual racing. I suppose genuine major league sporting associations (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) would have to allow their teams to somehow swap points without regard to contest outcomes if they also turned a blind eye to franchising. How sad that even as NASCAR strives mightily to escape its own past in numerous other ways, it remains stubbornly attached to far too many of its bush league sanctioning body ways.

    "Performance-related?" Too bad the performance has little to do with actual racing. I suppose genuine major league sporting associations (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) would have to allow their teams to somehow swap points without regard to contest outcomes if they also turned a blind eye to franchising. How sad that even as NASCAR strives mightily to escape its own past in numerous other ways, it remains stubbornly attached to far too many of its bush league sanctioning body ways.

    They need to get rid of this top 35 bull i have listen to people talk about this since they started it. There is NO reason for it if it rains you line up by points other wise you qualify and the fastest 43 cars start every body Else hit the road easy. Also get rid of the LUCKY DOG it has nothing to do with any thing they line the lap cars up on the inside of the leader anyway if the guy is good enough to be on the lead lap he will be there.
