First off, hoping all is well with you and yours and that the new year treats you with kindness. Mike got a set-up jig for his car for Christmas and was really amazed at how far off his calculations were.
Ok then, on to the update......The deal with Keith Coleman who supposedly bought the old Dr. Pepper team for her fell thru. Kim said after finding out the Dr. Pepper shop was still for sale, she and her husband went to check out the auction and most all the stuff was junk with only two partially put together cars anyways.
Kim is entered in the Daytona ARCA race Feb 7th. She will be driving the 06 car. Wayne Peterson owns the 06 number but not sure if she is running the old 71 car she got from Dave or one of Wayne's. She did talk earlier about how she had purchased a motor from Vern Slaugh of Performance Technology out of Michigan tho.
She will be driving this year for BCR13 with Total Race Babe as her primary sponsor. The team has purchased an 03 Pontiac from Brewco and will Busch test Daytona Tues. and Wed. The motor program is from somebody named Fisher. If the car don't cut it they are going to purchase an 04 after the test.
Yup, I said Busch test. Scheduled debut is Dega but who knows if the test goes well. Tentative plans are part time Busch and part time Truck. No formal announcement till after testing. Not sure where this leaves Conrad Burr.
And will ya listen to this....joining her will be Carl Long as co-crew chief along with Tom Clavette (her regular crew chief from MAR) and Mike Cowen (also from MAR).That's right, Carl Long. One of the most dedicated and under rated Winston Cup drivers ever. As you know, the guy almost did more with nothin than even ol Wingtips himself.
That that guy could take used cars on a shoestring budget and even qualify against the big boys is a feat few can even claim.
Anyways, you might want to keep your fingers crossed that all goes well Tues and Wed.
