The Wood Brothers, an equally legendary team with similar trouble and an unsure future laid off 22 employees. Depending on sponsorship, the No. 21 Ford may even run a limited Sprint Cup schedule next season.

Be aware, though, that we will probably slow down to 1-2 times a week over the holidays, unless there’s something significant that happens. For now, though, enjoy this edition, and tell your friends about us. CHECK THIS OUT:
