Bill Davis selling out??
Aug 18, 2008 | 12:12PM | report this

Wait!! There is actually NASCAR here....... Who'd have thunk it??

Very seldom does this blog seem to live up to it's title, but today it does (sort of)

Several websites have reported the Bill Davis is talking to buyers for his single car Cup team (and presumably his hugely successful Truck team). While reports mention "others", the one man who seems to be mentioned by name is former indycar racer Danny Sullivan.

It's far from a done deal by the sounds of it, with Sullivan quoted as saying "I've been pursuing it, but haven't gotten a response from (Davis). He's still dreaming on the price," No price is mentioned.

Of course right now BDR's Cup team is in no-mans-land. After a second team with Jacques Villeneuve lasted no longer than Daytona (in February), and long-time sponsors CAT departing to RCR's #31 team (horray!! another reason to hate RCR for Blaniacs). Even Dave Blaney's contract is up at the end of the season.

There's been no mention of the team having found a new sponsor - given Dave's record for bad luck perhaps he can pick up sponsorship from a mirror company, nor a mention of a new contract for Dave, although given Davis' career long links with Blaney you might think that Davis might look to help out Blaney if the sale goes though.

Of course there's always a horrible chance that Sullivan might recruit new drivers from what he knows. But we don't need anymore open-wheel converts do we?!
