Wednesday on “The Driver’s Seat,” on Sirius NASCAR Radio Ginn Racing owner Bobby Ginn talked about the reasons behind the shakeup involving his #13 and #14 race teams. Some quotes: Because I was running the car with our name on it I think the world thought that we had third party sponsors. And so I had to make a decision¦to let the world know by running two black cars that we still had inventory available, we had space available. So that started and it helped. We’ve had a lot more activity and a lot more urgency put into that since we did that than we had up to that point. There’s a lot of activity out there and a lot going on right now so we’re scrambling like we should be to try to fill up that inventory. Why the driver change on the #14? “Regan [Smith] was doing great in the Busch car. He had done pretty well in the Cup and so I talked with Mark [Martin] and Jay [Frye] and Mark was convinced that he was ready to run a full-time schedule so if I’ve got to run a car with no sponsorship on it I may as well be trying to get my young driver seat time.” Status of the #13 car: “First of all, I’m not going to speculate on what’s going to happen. Things are happening so fast right now that we are preserving every option we have. I don’t intend for that car to sit still. It’s got value to me or to someone but we right now -and this is not dodging [the question] – we have not made a decision as to what we’re going to do. As Joe said, both Joe and Sterling are both still under contract. I have sponsors sitting in my office right now and so we are still working on trying to sponsor it.
