During a podcast with Dale Jr’s Dirty Mo Media, Freddie Kraft said, “If you want the best guys in the sport you’ve gotta go out and get ’em. Denny showed you very recently that if he wants something or someone he’s gonna go out and get them. Obviously, it’s gonna cost them more money probably than getting a crew from JGR but that’s the cost of doing business.

We don’t really know the fate of the trophy as to who’ll get their hands on it. Maybe a lucky fan gliding across eBay might get their hands on it.
