Im surprised noone has signed him yet. Unless he has offers and is just waiting to sign the right one?? He's the best "available" driver out there imo (and that includes guys who are only signed for 09').. I think Gibbs should sign him up myself.. Heck, they need a 4th cup driver sooner or later anyway, if their gonna keep pace with RCR, Roush, HMI, etc..

Sorry, double post and I cant find the delete button? :/

i am not a big fan of his but he has stepped up to the plate this year. arguably after david ragan he is the most improved driver this year.

What's left? Non-top 35 teams. However, he has proven he can get a car in the show. You just might see him end up at HOF. Bad news for him is that organization is a sinking ship.

Moody is reporting that the 41 is between Riggs and AJ. Riggs is favored because he's bringing his own sponsorship and of course AJ because of his performance.

I hope AJ gets the 41 ride because then he'll finally make his first Daytona 500. Plus I think he'd do great.

BTW now check how he's done in the last 5 races of the year with the 10 team:

1 Carl Edwards 905
2 Jimmie Johnson 806
3 Kevin Harvick 737
4 Denny Hamlin 716
5 Jamie McMurray 705
6 Clint Bowyer 688
7 Jeff Gordon 683
8 Greg Biffle 675
9 Matt Kenseth 666
10 Kyle Busch 634
11 David Ragan 621
12 Dale Earnhardt, Jr. 603
13 Casey Mears 595
14 A.J. Allmendinger 569
15 Martin Truex, Jr. 562
16 Tony Stewart 552
17 Jeff Burton 526
18 Travis Kvapil 513
19 David Reutimann 505
20 Kasey Kahne 493
21 Kurt Busch 459
22 Ryan Newman 449
23 Bill Elliott 437
24 Juan Pablo Montoya 427
25 Dave Blaney 413
26 Paul Menard 407
27 Scott Riggs 397
28 Michael Waltrip 383
29 Robby Gordon 368
30 Scott Speed 366
31 Bobby Labonte 353
32 Mark Martin 345
33 Elliott Sadler 338
34 Regan Smith 326
35 David Gilliland 326
36 Marcos Ambrose 322
37 Sam Hornish, Jr. 310
38 Brian Vickers 298
39 Reed Sorenson 296
40 Ken Schrader 292
41 Brad Keselowski 200
42 Tony Raines 189
43 Chad McCumbee 189
44 Joe Nemechek 175
45 Aric Almirola 166
46 Sterling Marlin 143
47 Johnny Sauter 52
48 Kyle Petty 46
49 Mike Bliss 46
50 Joey Logano 0

And his average finish is 15th best over that stretch.

Chip and Dale racing needs to hire AJ or Riggs will put another nail in the teams coffin.
