“The challenge of this business is that things change so quickly,” said Lauletta. “We’ve got everything settled down now, to a point where we can look two, three or even four years down the road and decide where we want to be. When companies come and ask about being a part of it, we certainly are willing to talk to them. But we’ve been very happy with both GM and Chevy, and we have to look at what’s best for this company in the long term.”Lauletta said the success of Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines this season played a role in the decision to remain with Chevrolet. “Shutting down the in-house engine shop at Ganassi Racing a few years ago caused quite a bit of apprehension,” said Lauletta, “but there has never been a single question about way we are treated by ECR. We have been extremely happy with that relationship over the years, and we are really happy with where we are right now.”
Lauletta also said he is “not anticipating any changes” on Jamie McMurray’s #1 team next year, including driver, sponsor and crewchief.
