UPDATE: Casey Mears and Reed Sorenson are among the four drivers #09 Phoenix Racing is considering for the 2010 Sprint Cup season. The Spartanburg-based organization will run David Gilliland this weekend at Phoenix and David Stremme in the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. If neither earns the ride through performance, then Mears and Sorenson will become the front-runners, general manager Mark Reno said. Reno said both drivers have called him inquiring about the #09. "A lot of good candidates," he said. See more at ESPN Insider.(11-9-2009)

Would like to see Reed get the ride, he's a great guy and could do well with good equipment, not just being the "testing" team for others
