I didn't see that one coming...

brings in a 'associate sponsor' with his Fla. speed shot too, it seems

maybe/probably why ? he sold his ride & operation to Tony Stewart
(edit.* actually Elite Motorsports, Tony's going to drive it)

not sure about 'the fit' ?
he's not very vocal or energetic personality, seems like a nice guy
from what lil' I've seen of him, I assume he can learn to be more vocal...
will have a great teacher, in John

Agreed. But Mike Neff drove for Force. He's as laid back of a cool cat as they come.

Howdy All
I was hoping that they would have picked Angelle Sampey. As that would have been awesome still having 4 ladies in the top class. And I still believe that sponsors would line up to support Angelle.

Hmm...I must now ponder if I'll stick with Ashley as my TF locked pick.

Wasn't there a deal to have Angelle drive for Antron Brown's team ?
I think it was announce end of last season,
possibly her drive even this season, but it (TF ride) never developed/happened, or didn't get the funding (??)
I could have swore I heard that, somewhere
(I saw that she was running an Inj. Fuel - in TA/D sportsman series)

Howdy I vaguely remember something like that.

Check edited Post #404...should have read Mike Green as crew chief for Tony Stewart

Angelle has been campaigning a TAD. She has been there all year. I believe that was the deal for her starting out. She is 11th in points.
