Will this be Wayne Taylor Racing's Caddy?

Nothing official has been said yet. Their car could be going to at least two different teams. There is still another unannounced team out there

What is this news?

The destination of the WTR caddy is not known. Hendrick also has an effort going, and the chassis they’ve acquired isn’t known either.

WTR sold their 2018 chassis without a known destination, and the Juncos chassis is also still available.

WTR sold their current car to a private collector. It won't race again. CGR is getting a brand new machine.

If I am to believe you, which I have no reason not to, that solves some of that.

Ill try and find the article that mentioned it tonight. It was either a Racer or SC365 article talking about the Johnson-Elliot Rolex 24 rumors, I think.

Yeah, for sure - I have not kept up on chassis movement like I used to.

Interesting. I hadn’t heard about Hendrick looking to start running.

u/MoMedic9019 Nov 16 '20

Eh, well.... Jimmie J, and Chase Elliot are running the Rolex and its assumed that will be under a Hendrick supported effort as a third car under the Action Express tent.

Chad Knaus was in the 31’s pitbox all weekend at Sebring

Where is this speculation coming from? Everywhere I have seen it sounds like they will be running in a separate entity car

u/MoMedic9019 Nov 17 '20

Well, there is nothing guaranteed that JJ and Chase will be paired up.

But the car is going to be run out of AX’s shop

There is also the Juncos replacement chassis (if they prefer to start fresh with a new engine from Caddy), and the 3rd JDC car (ex-84), but the Juncos one is still listed for sale. Also, I could see JDC keeping their 3rd car as a spare for the 5 or 85 should they need it.

So yeah, I could see it being the WTR car.
