Made a new post by mistake--is there an edit button to delete a post??

Could be an alternative for the "C" group?

BRENDAN GAUGHAN ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO CUP RACE AGAIN AND RACING AT PHOENIX: “The opportunity to run four races for Richard Childress in the Sprint Cup Series is truly amazing. RCR has top-notch equipment and teamed me with a winning crew chief in Gil Martin. Everyone deserves a second chance and I am ecstatic that my second chance in the Sprint Cup Series is in the No. 33 Chevrolet with RCR.”

“After talking with some of my RCR teammates, they told me that the track hasn’t changed all that much, they just made the track a little “racier” off of turn 2. The Chevrolet Impala I’m driving had a win last year so I’m really looking forward to going to Phoenix in equipment the caliber I have never had a chance to drive in my career.”

The Fresh Fit 500 will mark Gaughan’s 38th career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start and his first since the 2010 Daytona 500. The Las Vegas native raced full-time in NASCAR’s top series during the 2004 season, posting one top-five and four top -10 finishes. Phoenix marks the first of four Sprint Cup Series starts with RCR for 2012, Gaughan will also race the No. 33 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speeedway and Auto Club Speedway events during the month of March.

GAUGHAN CHASSIS CHOICE: Brendan Gaughan will pilot Chassis No. 351 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable. This Chevrolet Impala is a proven contender in Sprint Cup Series competition, as Gaughan’s RCR teammate Kevin Harvick made a trip to Victory Lane with it in May 2011 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Harvick also drove this former No. 29 racer to a seventh-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway in September, a 10th-place finish at Dover International Speedway in October and a 19th-place finish at Phoenix International Raceway in November.

Everyone is on my radar. I believe Aric will get better as the season progresses. I'm going to be stingy at least for a bit with his starts. He will have to be real fast for me to pull the trigger right away. I'm sure he will be the best looking C option nearly every week though.

This looks like a great week to start him for sure.

I'd be surprised if I didn't start Almirola this week.

After seeing both BK Racing cars blow motors, both Front Row Motorsports cars, both Tommy Baldwin Racing cars, and Bobby Labonte all go multiple laps down running well off the pace, there isn't many options left besides Brendan Gaughan.

In the C-List, I'm always searching for potential. With RCR equipment under him, Gaughan is the only option outside of Almirola with the potential to edge out a Top 20.

Let's not forget that Gaughan drove himself right into the wall early in Vegas, and then dumped Tony Stewart at Bristol last week.
