Due to difficult times in the economy, in general, and NASCAR, in particular; driver performance is critical.

This past weekend there were a number of rumours that the Sprint Cup series only rookie, Kevin Conway, was in danger of losing his ride at Front Row Motorsports due to a lack of performance.

Conway is on the bubble of top 35 teams locked into qualifying for Sprint Cup races.

In a release published on Tuesday, the Extenze Racing team responded.

"Contrary to some Internet reports out there that recently surfaced after the NASCAR race weekend concluded at Watkins Glen, ExtenZe and Alteril are 100% committed to Kevin Conway and the sport of NASCAR,” said Robert Wilhovsky, Director of Motorsports Marketing.

Yet, the next statement doesn’t sound like 100 per cent support.

“While we are currently evaluating our options for 2011, Kevin Conway has been and will continue to be the foundation of our NASCAR program in the years ahead.”
