This year has brought several driver changes already, and with silly season just beginning, it's likely we'll see more drivers booted from their ride.
Here's a quick primer on what to do to slow down your racing career or even cause owners to rethink you driving their car, losing your ride altogether.
1. Sign with an owner new to Nascar. (See Brian Vickers, AJ Allmendinger, Joe Nemechek, Sterling Marlin, Regan Smith.)
2. When the most popular driver announces he wants a new team, tick your owner off, by storming off after a crash, blaming your crew for not fixing the car fast enough. (See Kyle Busch.)
3. Date the owner. (See Erin Crocker.)
4. Announce a new deal, then have a run-in with the law. (See Kurt Busch.)
5. Test positive for controlled substances. (See Shane Hmiel, Tyler Walker, Aaron Fike.)
6. Get hurt, then have a fill-in who wins. (See Sterling Marlin-Jamie McMurray.)
7. With good equipment, don't deliver the goods. (See Ryan Newman, JJ Yeley.)
8. The car's not in the top 35, and you don't have the past champions provisional. (See Michael Waltrip, Ken Schrader.)
9. Sign on with a team new to Nascar, which has a new manufacturer. (See Dale Jarrett.)
10. Don't show enough passion or talent to the owner's liking. (See Mark McFarland, Shane Huffman. AJ Foyt IV)
