53?

Race fans in Indiana have been spoiled by the number of Sprint car teams Racing today but I Think with Price to run a team getting to be so expensive we will see allot more of this how many are just hanging on now

That is indeed bad news. I first saw the #53/Stanbrough combination at East Bay in Florida during the Tn'T non-wing events about 3 years ago. After seeing Stanbrough in the 57,10,69 slick looking and competetive machines and his dismal performance at East Bay I wondered what he was doing in this Plain Jane piece. How wrong I was. Sorry to see it go. One of the highlights at any track the past few years was to see the #53 coming out for hots. I agree with others that JRS deserves a better ride than the #5. It has looked decent a few times, but mostly seems to be a field filler. Sad commentary. :crying: He'll be back!!!

"Brad also told me that he and Steve have accepted a job with another team and will be putting all their efforts into that for the remainder of '08 and into 2009."

Any information on which team they will be working with?

I heard they have been hired by Ricky Williams.

I beleive it's Ricky Williams isn't it?

My brother worked with Ricky his rookie year, he is a good driver and a good kid.

The Fox's will give him great cars every night. It will take Ricky a year or so to get as consistant as say Cole Whitt;but he has the talent,the wrench's and the backing to do so. He will win races very soon.

Best wishes to all involved.

Steve mentioned to me at Du Quoin that they'll be helping out Williams beginning at the $10K to win race at Haubstadt I believe. He's still young and green but he's got potential. Definitely has some good equipment.

Sorry to hear of the status of the 53.

I really dont think the Baldwin ride is bad equipment, and i wouldnt call him a field filler in it by anymeans, granted he isnt as fast in it as the 53 but brad and steve arent wrenching it sooo.... i would say thats why the 5 isnt as fast as the 53
