    That seems awefully 'sudden'. Doesn't it? Maybe Michael Waltrip will fill the #97 spot, hmmm?

    Kurt Busch to take over No. 2 car
    Defending Nextel Cup champion will leave Roush Racing, perhaps as early as 2006
    By JIM UTTER
    ThatsRacin.com Writer

    Reigning Nextel Cup champion Kurt Busch has signed with Penske Racing South to replace retiring driver Rusty Wallace in its No. 2 Dodges, ThatsRacin.com has learned.
    On Tuesday, Roush Racing confirmed Busch, 27, has already signed with another team for the 2007 season and has asked to be released from his 2006 obligations.

    "Due to sponsor and team considerations no decision on that request will be made for an indefinite period," the statement said. "Roush Racing will have no further comment at this time."

    Sources confirmed Busch's 2007 deal is with Penske Racing South and could make him one of the highest-paid drivers in the sport, if not the highest.

    What Penske would do should Busch not get out of his 2006 deal isn't clear, although asking Wallace to remain another season does not appear to be an option, sources said.

    In an ironic twist, it was Roush Racing that began the sign-the-driver-early wave, by signing Jamie McMurray to a 2007 contract earlier this season to take over the No. 6 Fords of Mark Martin, who is also retiring.

    McMurray has, so far, been unable to get out of his 2006 obligations with Chip Ganassi Racing, and Martin has been asked about driving the No. 6 one more season.
