I thought the team offered him a long-term deal that he wasn't interested in?

I think it was a testing deal, with a no real shot at a race seat.

I think they were expecting him to bring money too.

Richard Childress has been interested in Tracy for years, and most likely still is.

It's just a shame Tracy wasn't allowed to show what he could do at the Glen.

Going straight into Nextel would be a very short-termist move. He would amke mroe money in a single season, but his chacnes of getting anotehr ride would eb reduced if he struggled at first, whcih is almost inevitable for a guy with no stock car experience (has he even done IROC?).

Tracy would fit in nicely in NASCAR. As much scraping as he does he would be fine!

Seriously, he would be suited for the bumper wars they have in NASCAR!
