Carpentier to the 26, for Michigan

[TeamBlueOval]

Patrick Carpentier will again be driving the #26 Ford of Latitude 43 Motorsports for the Sprint Cup race at Michigan this weekend. Davis Stremme had been the driver until Sunday, according to owner Bill Jenkins and crew chief Frankie Stoddard. Stremme, however, announce Monday on Sirius XM Radio that he left the team. It was during the same show that Jenkins said Carpentier would probably be in his car at Michigan.

I heard about this on the Race Hub earlier tonight. Not sure how this will work out but at least Patrick has a ride now. And he's raced at Michigan before in Open Wheel racing so he is familiar with the track :)

Soooo if there's two drivers complaining they aren't being paid by the guy, why would you want to work for him?

Because Patrick just wants a NASCAR ride ... I don't think he cares about the pay.
