The 21 car hasn’t been competitive since 2004, and it really showed this year, as Ken Schrader and Bill Elliot both took turns at the wheel, and neither of them made much of a dent into the points battle. Schrader started only 13 races (including the first eight of the season), but once the car fell out of the top-35 in owner’s points (and thus lost a guaranteed starting spot), the team placed Bill Elliot in the car to use his champion’s provisional. Ok, ok…they claimed it was not to use the provisional, it was to use his “skills,” but let’s not kid ourselves.
Schrader’s best show was at Martinsville in the spring, where he finished 19th. It’s safe to say that he is past his prime in racing, and probably will not have a full-time ride in 2008. He may get some work in the 21, but I consider it very unlikely that he’ll run much more than he did this year.
2008 prediction: He’ll probably run part time, if at all, so no points prediction. He’ll run relatively well at the short tracks if he gets a ride.
