GEM 2009 - coming soon
October 17, 2008
The Sports Business publications and e-zines had a few reports of GEM in discussions with Bill Davis back mid-September.
The news was circulated briefly via Sports media online but Dodge was quick to deny that GEM was not satisfied with their manufacturer. :-)
This past week, rumors say Evernham wants to leave GEM. I'm thinking this is a 'Evernham' leak. From the get go, when Gillett became majority owner of the team Evernham built, it was clear Ray was taking a backseat.
I couldn't imagine him finding a new lesser role that would fulfill. :-)
For now, it's just a rumor but a seed sown for bigger news yet to come.
Gillett's posse has been quiet despite so much happening right now. He's a very very smart businessman and I don't think Nascar has really seen his type until now. It will be good for Nascar, even a must.
It's quiet at the GEM media homefront but we will keep you posted. In the meantime, somethings are better left unsaid. lol
Sad news for Pat. It's a tough business and there's always someone to fill the seat.
Come back soon. There will be alot of great news for GEM 2009.
