Re: Windom
 

When Cole was sponsored by Red Bull, I talked to their reps about him on more than 1 occasion. They were interested in Cole more than the sprint cars, but did know what they were.

As with most people before Nascrap took the big fall, they looked at sprint cars as a way to get down south, not as a destination.

So what cars are Windom and Grant going to be in this year??

JR would blow by everybody every straightaway :), That being said, I wouldn't doubt he could do well in a Sprint Car

Red Bull and some other teams have contract drivers, BC was signed with Gannasi for a while.

The rumor is true, Some of these guys have a budget of nearly two million. Drivers like DD, Jon and a few others have some sponsors they can bring to a team, However Respect and friendship still can go a long way. It just doesn't automatically put you in contender-ship.

Red Bull, Amp and the others could make a profit at 1 dollar a can. Why do you think it cost $4 ?

You've got a lot of nerve, trying to steer this hi-jacked and abused thread back to the original topic :3:

let me help get this thread back on track for ya steve. i HEARD..... J.R. Todd was starting a two car team and the drivers are chris windom and kevin studley. this does make sense since JR is making millions running the Al-Anabi pro-gas door car dragster, and he has been known to run in the same circles as chris and kevin. i guess we will wait and see what happens. :6:

so its doug kallita in reverse? ;)

Re: Windom
 

Are you sure, John ?
I heard from some NAPCAR loyalists who have been posting all the latest tin-top news here on IOW that J.R. was running Al And Knobbie's AA/Fuel door-slammer Yugo in 2011. But thanks for getting the facts out there for us!!

Looks like windom signed with Baldwin bros racing since that team just won a sponsorship with sprint mart, if I wasn't on my iPhone I'd post the link buts it's on iow

I love this website. You're my boy Jonezy.

Re: Windom
 

Drivers paying for rides is just nuts. I know its getting that way more and more each day but man its just wrong. Good drivers should get to race because there just damn good drivers. Not because they have the big pocketbook. My Grandfather Jim Moughan would be rolling over in his grave if he only knew. Someday guys like Darland, Stanbrough, Haud, will just be a thing of the past. Im a racer and I thank god everyday that i have a few car owners willing to give me the opportunity to do what i love. Those guys are few and far between anymore and thats just the way it is. I dont really know what the answer is, but the cost of racing anymore is rediculous. Not trying to sound like a crybaby lol, cause i will keep racing rides or not, for as long as my body's able to work. Just wish we could get back to the way things used to be.

And not to get too far off subject lol, windom and grant are two badass racers, so hopefully everything will work out for both of them
