Not sure what Kasey is thinking letting the best driver he has had go. Guess blood is thicker than water.

Heard this late last night. Lots of people saying Shane Stewart is a major possibility.

Why is Darrah still there? He cant drive a cow to water

767 · 9/26/12, 10:34 AM

Any speculation on who he will run for, to finish the season?

El1teBr33ze · 9/26/12, 10:59 AM

I've read that he is finishing the season with KKR. I want to see an official press release.

think real hard why darrah is still here....his father provided everything cody needed to run a first class operation in central pa. and parked the team when cody got his deal with KKR.....its not discussed much but wouldnt it be pretty apparent that joe darrah is a silent partner? similar to the roth/kkr team for paul mc. but roth's partnership was public knowledge.
there are plenty of teams out there that are "rent a ride teams" and are only out there if the driver brings money.....which, in reality, isnt such a bad thing for the person providing the money.....why spend the money and time to build a team when you can rent everything you need?

^ because it kicks great talent out of rides just because their dad isn't rich...that's what's wrong with rent a rides.

I think most of it has to be performance. It's not what it once was.

2009 - 20 wins
2010 - 13 wins
2011 - 6 wins
This year - 5 wins

Maybe this goes all back to the secret test last Sunday. With lil shu, Andretti, and Joey. Maybe they are all teaming up to run usac next year. Rumor is team is going to be called 3 lil shu's

or it puts more cars on the track cause without the family funding, the car would be parked.
want an example? dave darland in the keith kunz ride....no sponsor, no family funding....car is parked.
how bout paul mcmahan and KKR....no more roth money....car is parked.
W T F? is the difference? somebody has to fund the car and pay the driver......so because codys dad MAY be funding the car to some extent, rather than a sponsor cody brought to the table, thats wrong?
