OOTG: Analyzing Top Free Agent Drivers and Open Rides

With the NASCAR season nearing its’ halfway point, silly season is upon us. With that in mind Eric Estepp analyzes the current driver market as it stands heading into Sonoma race weekend. Which drivers are going elsewhere, and which drivers are staying put?

• Eric speculates that Stewart-Haas Racing’s future seemingly depends largely on what Front Row Motorsports does.
• If Front Row Motorsports wants to be a legitimate contender, Eric says Front Row Motorsports needs to act now and lock in its’ star drivers.
• A wild card team this offseason is Spire Motorsports, especially considering how it has improved this season with Corey LaJoie.

NASCAR’s silly season is about to heat up, and plenty of seats are available. While the highest profile free agent in Denny Hamlin seems to be taken, this could be an offseason where up-and-coming teams can find a way to lock in their future stars.
