Yeley back to NASCAR?
 

As reported on Jayski.com:


Yeley to drive the #73 at Kansas: Sources tell us that during an interview on Sirius Radio's Morning Drive program this morning, J.J. Yeley announced he is going to be driving the #73 truck at Kansas Speedway.(4-7-2009)


Trucks are better than nothing I guess.

David, TJ's site wouldn't load for me, so I don't know what the report said, but I believe that it's supposed to be a one race only deal. Some track pack buddies mentioned a week or so ago about it possibly happening.

I haven't been following the trucks this year but is this a Start and Park team?

That's a photo taken by Al Consoli of the Hank's #52 car. I saw it race at Terre Haute driven by Butch Wilkerson (in the photo) and Ed Angle. It was at the 1st USAC Sprint race I ever attended (September 1970 @ THAT).

:checkered::checkered:That was the 1st rear engine ever run USAC we had 26 fast time missed the show it had something in tank alky was eating it up dissolved the stuff, but it was fun. Thank you Butch Wilkerson #1 :thumb:checkered::checkered::angry-smiley-007::applaud::applaud::checkered::checkered::check ered:

Re: Yeley back to NASCAR?
 

This is not a "start and park team". Tagsby racing ran complete seasons in the truck series in 1999,2000, and 2001.
If not for engine troubles requiring a complete engine switch at the Kansas race J.J. and Tagsby racing would have at the very least finished in the top 5. The truck was set up beautifully and J.J. was beating everyone in the corners but losing it on the straights due to a loss of HP in the engine. Issues that will be resolved before the Texas race on June 5.
