Maybe I missed a thread about this and if so sorry but Ive noticed Johnny has been running these races lately.Is he going to run the whole usac or western sprint car schedule or is he just running a few races here and there?:confused:

I believe that he has a ride for the full season at Knoxville in Larry Woodward's car.

If you go to dirtcast.net there is an interview from January where Johnny talks about his season. There is also a bunch of other winged stuff on there.

From Wikipedia:

A new twist in this partnership will see Larry, Lori, and Johnny combine The Woodward's old fondness for non-winged racing with Herrera's new found love of non-winged racing. When the opportunity arises the Larry Woodward Team will also compete to win non-winged races as well.
With this wonderful news also comes the exciting news that Herrera will be reunited with Crew Chief Troy Renfro. Many will remember that this duo combined to win the 1996 King's Royal in dramatic fashion. Troy and Johnny, longtime friends, have had success in the past and look forward to even bigger and better results together in 2009. Together this team brings so much success and experience in sprint car racing that it's a given that they will find Winner's Circle very quickly.
Johnny Herrera stated "I am honored that Larry and Lori have given me this opportunity, and I look forward to our first race together, and to work with Troy again is an added bonus. Anytime in racing something big has happened for me, Troy has been there and here he is again. The Woodward's will get 110% from me as a driver in 2009…All I want to do is race and win on any track, with any organization, winged or non winged…I just want to win races."

I always liked watching Hollywood when he ran with the Outlaws.
