I'm with you on that one. I've been watching Steve beat on all the ARDC competitors for several years now. He runs people clean, has incredible car control, runs deeper into the turns that anyone else back east, doesn't crash & understands car set up. He also has winged sprintcar experience too. If I was an Indiana car owner I'd be taking a serious look at Steve. He could be one of those prolific winners like Stanbrough was with the Fox Boys.

Ok, everyone can start throwing things at me after they read this. There is somebody out there I have been watching for years and wanting someone to give him a chance in a sprint car. He is a VERY good driver, very smooth and almost always finds his way to the front no matter where he starts unless he has some sort of mechincal problem. His name is James Headley. I think he would be a really good driver if someone would give him the chance and be patient with him. He just needs the chance.

I don't think Paul could afford that.

I say put the California kid, Justin Grant in it! He does alot of work in the Chris Windom / Walker camp. He came to the Midwest to make his mark. He is driving for Don Moore right now in the midgets.

:2:Brad Kuhn would be a good fit if they could work it around his midget races. Drove for Steve christian and Bennic and was doing great. Smart about set ups and car handling smooth and easy on equiptment.

I agree.

I would like to see Buckwalter running a sprint car here as well.

All are fine choice IMO

For old time sakes it'd be cool if Tony Elliott drove the car one last time at Kokomo.
