I have to believe that it's a foregone conclusion that he buys into Haas. Hendrick is the #2 choice I think and JGR is #3. I can't help but think it's actually the Toyota thing, and the fact that he's the #3 dog there. I have no idea what to think about it. I'm saddened and hopeful that he re-signs, but I am afraid that the writing is on the wall.

If he does go to Haas, he has to hope that the #66 gets back into the top 35. That way he can put Truex/Newman/Whoever in that car and they're locked into the first five races, and he gives himself the past champion's provisional to get into the field. (Unless Johnson somehow sells off his owner's points) That's the logical conclusion that you can draw, because I can't imagine a marquee driver coming with him without being guaranteed into the show.
