I would pay DC92 and Blake FITZ to drive my USAC team.. and get Tyler Walker and Jeff Bland Jr in my Woo team.. I liked how he ran with them at TSS earlier this year

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

My USAC team would be Hud Cone and Kyle Cummins and my Woo team would be Darron Clayton and Tyler Walker.

I would hire a full time driver, SUPERDUKE, for my new $400K motor home and hire a full time chef , Rachel Ray, to prepare all of my meals so I can go and watch all of the races.


Oh yeah, to answer your question, I would be the driver for both cars and series!

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

Well, after the lottery takes their cut and you pay Uncle Sam you're left with about $12 million. After your family, friends, ex-wives, mistresses, girlfriends and bill collectors are done fleecing you you'll have about $7 million. I was told it would take about $2 million to build a top notched WoO team (i.e. brand new truck, trailer, motors, cars, spares, tools, shop if you don't have one etc.) from the ground up. That's probably high but that was the amount I was given by a highly repsected Outlaw driver.

I'm sure some of the equipment is a one time buy. You won't have to buy two of everything. So lets say $2.5 million for the two Outlaw teams without turning a lap. Hopefully, you can find some sponsorship. That's unless you're connected to the manufacturers and can get deals, or you hire a driver who can bring money and deals.

I'm not sure how much a USAC sprint team would cost to start from scratch, but you're already running out of money. At about $500 thousand a year to run one Outlaw team you'll be broke and living in your parents basement in about three years. How about one really strong team and invest the rest?

Now to answer question. Brian Montieth and Chad Kemenah would be my Outlaw drivers. Steve Buckwalter and Dave Darland would be my USAC drivers. Sorry for being a jerk. :5:

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

I don't think I would do a full USAC thing because I wouldn't have the asphalt stuff. The USAC sprints on asphalt is a joke. Don't know how many fans show up for that, but I wouldn't pay to get into a race that only gets about 15 cars. As far as the outlaws, I would just skip that and go to my local parade in town. Same thing pretty much, NO PASSING! But I would build a 2 car non-wing team and I think I would put TONY JONES in one car and SHANE COTTLE in the other.

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

Not really interested in the wing stuff. How about four non-wing sprints with Moffatt, Beauchamp, Light and Boespflug.

With a four sprint car team I ought to make a small fortune in a year.;):3:

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

My USAC team: Mike Hess and Scott Hatton

My WoO team: Ryan Bunton and Terry McCarl

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

Justin Allgaier and Jeff Bland, USAC Marcos Ambrose and Kyle Busch, WOO gotta buy a lottery ticket!

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

Cole Whitt and anything he would want to drive...

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

I wouldn't start a WoO team. My USAC sprint team would run both pavement and dirt with Jeffrey Abold and Coleman Gulick getting the driving chores. They are two of the best racing talents I know to come out of the central N. Y., and the southern tier area of N.Y. respectively. If I were to add a third team Mike Litchy would get the driving chores.

This Tuesdays lottery drawing in N.Y is for somewhere in the $255 million range, if I seriously won it my grandsons college education would be the first thing I took care of, then I would buy a house in N. Y., one in the Indy area and a new motorhome. Then my real racing options would be to not start a sprint car team at all, instead I would start a new Sliver crown team for Jeffrey in 2010, possibly sponsor Coleman and Mike's existing SC teams and in 2011 start a new three car Gold Crown team for these same three drivers.

Both the WoO and USAC sprint car seasons are longer than I would want to devote myself to at this stage of my life.

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

USAC Team Kevin Swindell and Cale Conley

First, I would like to apply for the Winnebago drivers position, PLEASE!


I would just start a 4 car team and let the drivers pick where and with who they wanted to run.
Wherever and whenever!

The team would be, Brady Short, Jeff Bland jr, Kenny Niflis, Chase Briscoe

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

USAC- JJ Yeley & Dave Steele

WOO- Cody Darrah & Erin Crocker

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

No WoO teams but I would have three non-wing cars. With that much money I would sponsor two huge events at the burg, one midget in the spring and one sprint in the fall. $1.5 mill purse for each. The sprint teams would only run dirt with the following drivers: Joss Moffatt, Josh Spencer, and Dickie Gaines. I would have a fourth team for strictly USAC with 3 each cars, Champ car, Sprint and Midget. Driver of all three: Dave Darland. Triple Crown here we come!!! :31:

That was'nt our plan!!! :20:

Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math. :3:

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

I know you said no current USAC guys but there's no hotter midget combination than Brad Kuhn and Scott Benic right now . So I would give these 2 men a 10 million budget and go get the triple crown baby.

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

Great call on Dale Blaney...he is extremely underrated, and he is the man.

I'd take a local driver named Tyler Shoemaker, for a USAC team anyday...It's very impressive what he's done with a small motor and old hand me down tires, running with the 410's...I'd like to give him the equipment he deserves, and watch him get some W's!!

That looks like a good business plan if you combine the brewery and ***** house.Did I mention I was available for master taster and talent scout.

I would have named Erin as one of my sprint car drivers, but I think mixing love with racing is a little bad and if I had that much money I am sure I could convince her to marry me.........................or still hold onto the dream of marrying me :3:

Re: so you hit the lottery
 

non wing: Thomas Meseraull & Billy Puterbaugh

Re: so you hit the lottery
