Dooling Motorsports and Richard Childress Racing are partnering for a driver development program. Brady Bacon will race the entire USAC Sprint and Midget schedule next year and compete for both titles. In their sprinter and I'm pretty sure in their midget, too. Tanner Thorson will be in one of their midgets for a partial season and also run some sprint stuff.

Going to be honest...not what I expected at all. Kind of sad that nascar is more involved with open wheel than Indycar...exciting news though for sure. And Thorson leaving kunz. With rusty on the wrenches. They should be tough

Lol. It's hard to understand why nascar is so much more involved but it's Indycar's loss. IMO

Perhaps its a chance to get to BIG BUCKS of NASCAR with the Childress connection. Lets face it, Indy Car does not care about our love of front engine real race cars, dirt track bull rings or wheel to wheel racing. Even though I love the Indy 500 and support Pocono and would like to go to more of the oval races and even watch the street and road racers over the NASCAR TV shows, we are not going to get our drivers to Indy with very few exceptions. We need a ground swell that states for every road/street race, must have a dirt race!

My question is, Is Rusty wrenching the sprint? If so he'll be tough to beat everywhere.

Just think, if we get lucky and NASCAR gets more involved we can get great racing features like playoffs, chase, and stage racing! Let's remember that it was USAC'S getting friendly with NASCAR that brought the biggest blow ever to the Silver Crown series with that stupid pavement car that failed miserably. Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself
