Silly season is now underway! Bobby would be a great addition to RCR. At the end of the year, if he joins, there will be two champions at RCR (Harvick, Labonte). 
And don't forget, Tony's contract ends at the end of this season. Could he become the 4th Childress driver? He'd also bring a guaranteed spot with him.
It's NASCAR, it's April Fool's Day, it's the start of Silly Season, it's Silly Season in NASCAR! Ladies and gentlemen, let the games BEGIN!
ESPN - RCR expanding to four cars in 2009; Petty's No. 43 needs new sponsor - Nascar
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Richard Childress Racing will expand to four cars next season with General Mills as sponsor, a partnership that leaves Petty Enterprises searching for financial backing for its famed No. 43 for just the second time since 1972.
General Mills has sponsored the No. 43 the past nine seasons, taking over when STP gave up its role as primary sponsor of the car Richard Petty drove to 200 victories. Bobby Labonte currently pilots the flagship Dodge.
But the car will need a sponsor for 2009, and perhaps even a driver.
Childress didn't say Tuesday who will drive his new No. 33 Chevrolet next season, but Labonte's deal with Petty Enterprises is up at the end of this year. As the 2000 Cup champion, Labonte is extremely attractive to Childress because his past champion status would automatically qualify the car for six races.
Robbie Loomis, executive vice president at Petty Enterprises, has previously said the team has offered Labonte an extension that the driver is considering. Loomis did not immediately return a phone call Tuesday from The Associated Press.

You gonna update the points from the weekend, pencilhead? I should be sharing the basement with gumbo now, and not by myself. 
I'll do it, but I can't do it till tomorrow. I think I'm coming down with a cold and will be excusing myself from here shortly...
