According to what can be heard in the U.S., one can assume that Reed Sorenson's departure from Chip Ganassi Racing has not been a terrible blow to the NASCAR Sprint Cup team.

It's no secret that Chip Ganassi's organization has had issues with Sorenson's attitude as well as his performance. Gillett Evernham Motorsports' contract or not, you can be sure that Sorenson would not have been back in 2009.

Sorenson's future has been an on-going process for quite sometimes and sources close to the team indicated that Sorenson didn't help himself by missing sponsor appearances and butting heads with his crewmen.

To further demonstrate what the attitude toward Sorenson at Ganassi was, team co-owner Felix Sabates had this to say recently: "I think Reed is today as good as he's ever going to be and if somebody else wants to put him in a car, fine with us."
