Smarty, myself, and some of our friends all went out with Danny and some of his racin' buddies last weekend and had some fun. He never mentioned leaving roush, but I really didn't bring it up. I try to avoid talking about racing with him, as i'm sure that's what most people wanna talk about.
The beast prolly has some info, if he does i'm sure he'll share with us.
I haven't heard anything other than he is doing a limited Busch schedule with Roush. Will be attempting to make the race in Daytona and have a good showing to try and attract a sponsor.
Hard to believe that he was rookie of the year in the Busch series last season, and now he doesn't have a full time ride.

according to www.nascar.com, he is out of the Bush series. Possibly out of Roush Racing too.
I hate that, I think Danny could get close to some wins this year.
According to an article today by Jeff Bobo, Danny is still employed by Roush, and receiving a paycheck, just without a fulltime ride right now. I believe he will get to drive a few races in the Dish Network all-stars car this year for Roush.
I think Danny met with someone the other day about a truck gig. I just hope Danny gets a decent shot, and not some junk ride, although I guess it would be better than nothing.
It is a shame that he is without a full-time ride given his performance last season.
Yep, and especially considering Eric McClure has a full time ride, and he isn't half as good as Danny.
I can't believe that you went out with Danny O'Quinn JR & didnt ask him about his ride next year? Who are you kiddin?
I don't think Danny wants to talk racing all the time.... we all just wanted to go out and have some fun.
Eric's ride isn't really a fulltime ride he is only scheduled to run limited races so far, and this is a skewed view since he is driving a car that his dad owns and started the team solely to provide him a car. Eric talked to Richard Childress last year about driving for him and he told him to get some seat time before he ever thought about talking to him again, he also applied for the driver X thing and was never seriously considered.
Danny does deserve better than he is getting from Roush, it is like he is keeping him tied up with hopes just to keep someone else from getting him and then showing up his driver that he chose over Danny and making him look bad. Personally I think he allreday made himself look pretty bad by giving Danny cars that weren't up to par with his "chosen" driver and didn't even fit him and he still outperformed Kleuver, Jack is paying to much service to the sponsors and letting them pick the driver based on looks and how they will look doing their commercials instead of putting a driver in the car and having it run up front, success on the track will make them look better than a pretty boy that takes a good picture.
I thought Eric's Busch ride was a full-time deal, with the Cup opportunity as a limited schedule?
Either way, I hope something works out for Danny.
Was talking to his old crew chief the other day and he was the one telling me it was a limited deal. Even if it is a fulltime busch ride it is still coming at the expense of Jerry his dad.
