2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Anyone have any information on any confirmed drivers/teams? Is modern day cowboy going to run family car in 2009? T-mez with Baldwin? Weir? Stanbrough? Ballou? Trucker's team drivers? Foxco fielding a car? Stewart and Kahne teams keeping same drivers?

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Small answer to a big question, but I had a brief chat with Josh Ford on Facebook today and he said he will be out here all summer. 73 car, I assume.

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Thanks for the "small answer", Derek. That is good news. Josh is a nice guy and I look forward to seeing him more.

brady bacon is out at kkr. not sure if they are going to run sweet or not.

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Just a guess, but I would look for guys like Hockett,Clayton and Ballou to run as much of the ASCS Lucas series as possible.

The purses are consistantly better and they have T.V..

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Not to get off topic but, losing those three on a consistent basis would be a pretty big hit to the talent/excitement pool around here. Kinda makes a guy wish USAC could've drawn Lucas and some TV......

RE: 2009 Indiana Drivers & Teams...
 

Well, I'm not sure how much of a sign it is, but the classifieds might tell some of the story. Daron Clayton has his 2006 Beast for sale, which isn't too much of a shock.

However, in the ad it reads that trades accepted are new Maxim / J&J winged sprint car frames, new or slightly used. So, could this be the sign of Clayton going back to the winged sprint car ranks? I hope not...

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Maybe Bacon Bits can team-up with the Eubanks again?

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

I know Sweet will be back but have not heard either way about Brady

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

KKR is only running 1 USAC team (B. Sweet) next year but going to a 2 car team in WoO adding Craig Dollansky. Sponsorship $$$ seems to be the reason, not Brady's performance.

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Not confirmed yet but heard Gaines out of 11p and 11c car.

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

I will be running the Steve and Carla Philps 71 at Gas City and P-Ville along with my white 16 at kokomo. With Mr. Happy heading up all Press Conferences (when not with the Foxco 53):rolling

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

the 16 at kokomo....:D:D

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

hey bill got to tell me when your openhouse is love to see mr happy in action have a great year tell the boys at work i said hi :applaud::respect:

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

yes,losing those guys would be a little bit of a loss of talent at the big shows, but im the sure that indiana is full of open wheel talent ready to take their spot! it should be interesting to see all the new driver,team combinations that take place over the winter. to see which big teams scoop up the talented young drivers who are waiting on phone calls to even know if theyre gonna race this year. take for instance Scotty Weir , amazingly enough he is still waiting to find out whos car he will be defending his 2008 Kokomo Speedway Track Championship in for the 2009 racing season, should be interesting As he is a force to watch for at every track he goes to !

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Have heard that Hockett will drive the Buch #13 car out of Pa. on the ASCS tour next year. This is the car that Bob Ream Jr. drove during the USAC east swing and Paul McMahan drove with a wing a few times this year. Blue Maxim frame with a yellow body, looks a lot like the Benic car.

Looking at the current prelim. ASCS schedule, there are a few big gaps between races so I'd imagine someone like DC still running some wingless races when applicable. But I'd love to see Daron run with a wing again to see how he'd do.

I dont do Press Conferences or Press Releases..................:redflag: I leave that to the "professional web clowns".

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Heard that myself, one can kinda get that impression by reading the article that Dave Argabright has posted. Word I get is that TorqueBall will be in the Potoroff ride in 09.Just rumor I suspect though?

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

With other aliases hoseclamp, coleslaw, and holesaw...I believe your rumor is correct though

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

aka DH and apparently sportsman of the year. I would hope that the crew cheif would know who's drivin' the car next year...

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

The PRI show is over, isn't time to start making those official announcements? Who is planning on running the Burg regularly in 2009?

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

So what happened to Weir's 2008 championship ride? Was it the family car?

Bob in Socal.

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

It was in the Edison 10E, Shane Cottle has gone back to that ride for next year

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Rumor is that kkr lost mopar and will only have Saldana on the outlaw tour.Dollansky is out.

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

KKR
Saldana, Budwieser
Dollansky, Direct TV

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

We are running the usac silvercrown pavement.And maybe the sprint pavement shows.If someone wants to team up for the silvercrown dirt shows we would be interested.Send me a PM.

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Nick Faas comimg to the midwest to run USAC http://www.racingwest.com/news/artic...orial-pas.html

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Hes always fun to watch on those videos from parris and stuff.:thumb

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

I heard about this too..

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

Did you, Jake?
I think Faas is gonna be fun to watch. I was there at Perris his first weekend in the car....he was standing on the hammer right out of the box! And he was one of the few West Coast guys to really keep up with the pack at Manzy....he's gonna be a good addition, folks!

Re: 2009 Indiana drivers and teams
 

I used to race with nic years ago back in quarter midgets in Cali. It will be nice to race with him late in 2009 when usac comes around and ive gotten some seat time under my belt.
