If by Hallie you mean Cleetus, then yeah...

FWIW Garret has some talent behind the wheel, but the marketing people love how he moves the needle on social media. So I wouldn't count him out yet.

It's possible it could be a star truck.

The article on Jayski (linked above) sounds more like it will be less well-known but skilled regional drivers. Regardless, it sounds like fun.

Yep, just go find a ride. Has worked for so many. WE have him under contract. IF somebody wanted him, and he wanted to go, he would be gone. It hasn't happened.

I have a high opinion of Corey & hope he gets a full-time ride in cup ASAP!

I thought along the same lines. ARCA, CARS, Some dirt guys. Whoever has talent and money behind them.

Yeah your not going to get Cup guys driving a different manufacturer.

SRX did this and it was a hit. Hometown heroes against vs. the regulars.

John Force...Well hell now I'm retired, why the hell not? Those things don't go 300 mph so I'm not scared!

I wish these announcementswould include a little bit of a bio on a driver. I had no idea who this is.

Campi racing is ASA stuff. Pinnacle racing had 2025 ARCA champion Brenden Queen racing for them last year so Carson Brown is in the fish or cut bait position next year.
