((HT: Fox Sports 1/NASCAR))
The news wasn't all that unexpected, but Carl Edwards is out at Roush-Fenway Racing after this season, heading to a fourth car that Joe Gibbs Racing will be adding to their stacks in 2015.
We think...
Greg Biffle, Ricky Stenhouse, Junior and Trevor Bayne (getting a full season ride) are the three for RFR next year.
"I have had the privilege of fielding entries for the world's best race car drivers in NASCAR for nearly 30 years, and feel quite fortunate to have an opportunity to do that again next year," said team co-owner Jack Roush in a press release.
"We have always prided ourselves in developing talent at Roush Fenway, and our 2015 line-up is a testament to the success of our organization in that respect," Roush said. "Greg Biffle is one of the most purely talented racers I've ever seen behind the wheel of a car, and his experience combined with the raw natural abilities, enthusiasm and desire in both Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and Trevor Bayne have me very excited for the future. Although we still have a lot to accomplish this year, both John Henry and I are looking forward to going to the track in 2015 with this blend of veteran leadership and youthful potential."
Fastenal stays with RFR and goes to the Stenhouse car. AdvoCare will pair with Bayne.
Here's the instant analysis...
By contract, Edwards cannot announce his future plans until September, but he admits publicly he has plans in place.

Tire Issues Cloud Fontana All Race Long
((HT: NASCAR on FOX))
The HQ will maintain that if it walks like a duck and quacks like same, then...
Well, you know...
We'll show you what happened all day at the NASCAR event in Fontana...
The ending...
Kevin Harvick on Lap 20
Roush-Fenway drivers driving
And Jimmie Johnson
But NASCAR is not hearing that Goodyear is at any kind of fault...

#NASCAR's Robin Pemberton says tire issues not a @GoodyearRacing problem. "I think Goodyear has done a pretty good job with it"
Obviously, the drivers were going way too fast...

Changing Places: Kenseth, Logano switch teams
((ht: nascar.com))
Well, NASCAR's version of the Carousel has begun, only a little bit earlier than normal.
Matt Kenseth made it official today and was announced, well actually, presented as the newest driver for the Joe Gibbs Racing team. Kenseth is leaving long-time partner Roush-Fenway racing after 15-years. And he will be replacing former Wunderkind Joey Logano in the #20 car.

Kenseth will be part of a 3-car team featuring him, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch. Yes, he's still in the running for this years Sprint Cup title with Roush and will be running out the season in his all-too familiar #17 car.
As for the other change, the 22-year old Logano moves to Penske Racing after beginning his career with Gibbs. And yes, we'll say it, "Ironically" he'll be driving the #22 car in the 2013 season.

Interesting, isn't it NASCAR fans?
We've always known that racing has had a tradition of off-season driver switches, but they usually happen much closer to the end of the season and usually involves drivers not competing for the cup. And while Logano may not make the Top 12 this year, Kenseth has a pretty good shot at it.
So, as usual, prepare for changes. Probably the hardest will be getting used to Kenseth in the #20 car, but like everything else, we'll get used to it.
Because we love video here at OSG Sports, we'll remind you of Kenseth's latest claim to fame; that of target for Tony Stewart's race helmet just two weeks ago.
