I was almost going to type the comment that "I hope they get the right Camry nose ;-)", but I suspect they may have gotten a #27 car.

It is a shame BAM couldn't get connected to a top tier Toyota team like Joe Gibbs Racing ...
it is very hard to get excited about merging with a team that shut down one car (#27)
while it's other car (#22) is 37th in owners points. :s

The #49 team will skip Texas but will run at Phoenix.

Latest press release says they will skip Phoenix also.

Actually my point was that with the COT, you can change brands with only cosmetic changes to the body.

Well they have to change the engine too, and I suspect when they do there's changes to hoses, wiring harnesses, heat shields, etc that have to be learned.

So BAM go for "the best long term solution" and it sends them broke? I don't buy it. Maybe something happened with BDR.
