Race-by-Race Chart
2008 Season Outlook
After a breakout 2006 campaign, Travis Kvapil came back down to earth in 2007. He did pick up 2 wins and did make the Chase, but his performance paled in comparison to his teammates Ryan Newman and Casey Mears, who finished 1st and 3rd, respectively. Kvapil will have less funding to work with, as Fram leaves and forces Roger Penske to pull out money from his personal wallet and fund the cars using Penske Truck Rentals for half the season. Citi Financial will take over the other half as Kvapil enters his make-or-break, do-or-die season. If he can produce like he did in 2006, then he'll certainly be back in 2008. But if he stays true to his 2007 performance, Kvapil could be looking at other potential jobs back in the Nationwide Series.
