 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Chip Ganassi's NASCAR organization was at a crossroad this time last year.
He had lost another investment when Casey Mears said he was leaving for Hendrick Motorsports, and Ganassi was faced with finding yet another new driver. Just like Jamie McMurray had done the year before, Mears decided his career would be better served with another team.
As Ganassi waded through the talent pool, he only found recycled drivers and young kids who would take years of development in NASCAR's premier series. Ganassi needed to make a splash with his next signing, but his options were all pretty drab.
