The #37 and #38 teams will NOT swap owners points since the #77 is not scheduled to run any other races in 2011 and the #38 would move from 36th in owners points to 35th and assurred a starting spot (12-22-2010).

The #19 will close, probably sell off the #19 owners points. #98 team of Paul Menard goes to Richard Childress Racing with the owners points (11-22-2010). RPM, going thru financial problems, will in all likelihood drop to two teams, the #43 with Allmendinger and the #9 with Marcos Ambrose, the #98 and #19 teams would be shuttered and owners points sold off. Valvoline and Best Buy are likely to return if RPM gets straightened out, finacially wise (10-25-2010). Allmendinger re-signs multi-year deal to stay at RPM, Best Buy may or may not return (8-4-2010). Best Buy moved over to the #43 for a partial season in 2010. Allmendinger could move to the #9 Ford with Budweiser or stay at the #43 or move on as his contract is over at the end of the 2010 season.

2011 Toyota Red Bull Energy Drink Red Bull Racing
Dietrich Mateschitz Ryan Pemberton Toyota Racing Development (TRD)

Vickers contract ends at the end of 2011, adding him to a crowded free agent class, alot will depend on how he responds from his illness in 2011 (2-1-2011). Vickers tested at Walt Disney World Speedway in January and says he is cleared and ready to race (1-10-2011). Will run a silver paint scheme in 2011, all looks good for a return at Daytona in February (12-15-2010). Kahne finished up 2010 in this car and would stay in it if Vickers cannot return due to his illness. Scott Speed will probably be released from the #82 ride Kahne will take, unless Vickers cannot come back (10-25-2010). Kahne would like to use his 'own' number in 2011, supposedly #4, his one year at Red Bull before heading to Hendrick in 2012 (9-28-2010). Kahne has signed to run for Red Bull Racing for the 2011 season then take over the #5 Hendrick Motor Sports Chevy in 2012. No word which car Kahne will drive and RBR could start a 3rd team using the #81 or #84 (8-10-2010). Vickers sat out most of the 2010 season, since Dover in May due to having blood clots. Vickers is expected to return to the seat full time in 2011 (6-21-2010).

The #19 will close, probably sell off the #19 owners points. #98 team of Paul Menard goes to Richard Childress Racing with the owners points (11-22-2010). RPM, going thru financial problems, will in all likelihood drop to two teams, the #43 with Allmendinger and the #9 with Marcos Ambrose, the #98 and #19 teams would be shuttered and owners points sold off. Valvoline and Best Buy are likely to return if RPM gets straightened out, finacially wise (10-25-2010). Allmendinger re-signs multi-year deal to stay at RPM, Best Buy may or may not return (8-4-2010). Best Buy moved over to the #43 for a partial season in 2010. Allmendinger could move to the #9 Ford with Budweiser or stay at the #43 or move on as his contract is over at the end of the 2010 season.

Will run a silver paint scheme in 2011, all looks good for a return at Daytona in February (12-15-2010). Kahne finished up 2010 in this car and would stay in it if Vickers cannot return due to his illness. Scott Speed will probably be released from the #82 ride Kahne will take, unless Vickers cannot come back (10-25-2010). Kahne would like to use his 'own' number in 2011, supposedly #4, his one year at Red Bull before heading to Hendrick in 2012 (9-28-2010). Kahne has signed to run for Red Bull Racing for the 2011 season then take over the #5 Hendrick Motor Sports Chevy in 2012.

With Kurt Busch moving to the #22 Shell Pennzoil car for Penske, and Keselowski moving to the #2 Miller Lite Dodge, Hornish could move to the #12 or stay in the #77.

No word on this team since the announcement in July 2010, emails to the team via their webiste go unanswered, the PR firm they dealt with doesn't any longer (1-12-2011).

Primary partners hope that fans will support the concept, through which they hope to enter a #76 car in the 2011 Daytona 500 [shown as a Chevy at the announcement]. Former Red Bull Racing competition director Elton Sawyer was named the competition advisor for the team. The fan owned / sponsored team is not a new concept and one that has never been successful in the long term. The team says fans will actually own a part of team with membership.

Menard leaves and goes to Richard Childress Racing in 2011 running the #27, taking the Menard's sponsorship and crew chief Slugger Labbe with him.
