Retro Silly Season : Supercars Edition

[Shawn19]

I've stumbled upon similar threads from this forum from other racing series (F1, IndyCar, BTCC etc), so I've figured I've bring it to here instead.

With this, I've also compiled a whole spreadsheet of these "almost-moves" from various racing series, including this too. Here's a few that I've found particularly intriguing:

- Post-Champ Car, Will Power had entered discussions about taking the #4 Stone Brothers drive for 2009 until the Team Penske seat came knocking about in Indycar.

- Mark Webber was approached by Tom Walkinshaw about an enduro drive for the 2000 Bathurst 1000, but turned it down to focus on F3000.

- Paul Dumbrell had originally announced his retirement from FT racing after 2010 : Steven Richards was going to replace him in the #55 Bottle-O car before he held back this decision for another year.

If there's anything else of these you know of you want to add (preferably from the 1990s/2000s, sources recommended), feel free to reply or simply add in the linked spreadsheet below :
