After watching David Ragan hit just about everything but the pace car during Sunday’s Subway 500, a important question jumped into my head: Exactly how fucked is Roush Racing next year? Here’s a quick look at the lineup for Roush next year, from worst to best:

David Ragan, No. 6—Once he loses his automatic spot in the grid after the 10th race, he could challenge the 109th Congress for general incompetence (NASCAR analysis and political humor? Top that Daily Show!).

Jamie McMurray, No. 26—When Roush hired him, experts were quick to point out that Jamie was a great driver who was stuck in mediocre equipment at Ganassi. After watching him this season, can everyone finally just admit that Jamie is just a mediocre driver? I mean, there’s nothing really wrong with that. You can have a good life as a mediocre driver. Hell, Michael Waltrip is richer than 99 percent of all Americans and he’s a really shitty driver. So buck up, Jamie. Mediocre isn’t so bad.

Greg Biffle, No. 16—Next year can’t possibly be as bad as 2006 for Biff, right? By the Daytona 500, he should hopefully regain his balls after girlfriend Nicole Lunders chopped them off in her little pit tiff with Kurt Busch’s crew. At least if he sucks next year, he will suck with his manhood intact.

Carl Edwards, No. 99—Jack Roush needs to slap flippy boy down next year: No more commercials until you win a race. It seems like Carl is on TV more than fucking Jared from Subway.

Matt Kenseth, No. 17—Hot wife, possibly a second championship, all is good for the Cheesehead.

So how fucked is Roush? Well, Jack won’t be looking for Kurt Busch’s number for a reunion in ’08, but the days of his unstoppable superteam just might be over. For all the panic in ’05 that Roush was going to rule the sport forever, it looks like ’05 might have just been a lucky break of great young drivers and perfect equipment. In reality, Roush’s five teams will range from great (Kenseth) to Ken Schrader-like (whoever is driving the No. 6 by next October.)
