Seen pics of Hunter's car on FB and looks like it was the #35 car he drove off and on last year. Not sure of owners but I will definitely be looking forward to watching him wheel that car around TSS!
I am happy for Hunter.. But knowone out there has heard anything about 11, 2b I know they are now rent a rides, but two very good cars sitting? Also still nothing on Grant, Clayton....
Hunter plans to run all the USAC shows in the Rock Steady 35. They have really stepped that program up from last year with a lot of new stuff. He will also run the Epperson 2 on a limited basis at some MSCS and local shows.
Rumor has Haudenschild in the 11 for big $ shows and some wing stuff.
Heard from Grant at the swap meet that he is running a car out of Ohio.
Daron is still trying to get things together for Florida. Money is pretty tight for his operation, so I know he is looking for some backing.
Justin Grant is going to Florida to drive for Mark Hery, who apparently has stocked up on new equipment and wants to race quite a bit this season. Not sure what their schedule will look like.
I would expect Jeff Walker to race a more "hit-and-miss" schedule this season. I've heard a few prominent names thrown around, and I'm sure Jeff will just race whom, when, and where he wants.
Benic's Sprint Car is sitting for now. I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull something out for bigger shows or something.
Dave & crew chief Brian Cripe are still trying to piece their deal together for Florida, but are supposed to be stable with Goodnights still for the rest of the year. This is another team still trying to come up with some funding to make the Florida trip a little more sensible.
Hunter has a great set-up for this season, with two cars ready to go for Florida. Car owner Hank Byram (Rock Steady Racing) seems ready to take on a large schedule this season, including the entire USAC National Sprint Car Series. I caught a sneak peek of the cars, and they look pretty cool....
