Mike Bliss is still looking at his options for the 2006 racing season. Bliss currently splits time in the Haas CNC Racing #0 Chevy in the Nextel Cup Series and the Xpress Motorsports #16 Chevy Trucks Chevy in the Craftsman Truck Series, but as of now does not have a firm deal in place to drive anything next year. “Everyone thinks this deal is done, but it’s not,” Bliss said. “XPress Motorsports is great, but Dave (Fuge, team owner) is losing his Chevrolet deal for next year and they are working on some sponsorship stuff for next season. I would like to stick around and see what happens here. Both of us are sitting here with the same problem. A lot of people think I am locked in right here and right now I am not.” Bliss has yet to reach the point where he is going to panic about starting 2006 without a ride. We are going to wait and see,” he said. “I haven’t even really started to call anybody. I’d like to wait and see what happens here, but if nothing does come out of it, I have to be looking somewhere else. There’s not a lot of seats open anywhere and that’s a problem. I haven’t gotten to the point where I am panicking yet, but I am getting close.”(Truckseries.com)(11-18-2005)
