Busch takes team role with safety net for 2008
NASCAR shifts set as Kurt Busch agrees to transfer owner points to Isaac Hornish Jr. for a 2008 Cup start, with Miller and Mobil backing and NASCAR approval. The veteran champion's provisional ensures a spot if needed while rookie Sam Hornish Jr. faces the usual rookie season ups and downs. A crew-chief shuffle at Michael Waltrip Racing adds Pemberton, Pappas, Andrews, Burdett, Meendering, Kerr and Richert to multiple cars as headlines and litigation loom in Miami over Kahne’s bid.
