Lee did get  LET go from from kaseys  BF..

THE only positive thing is Brad won't be as big of a threat for the rest of the WOO

I was standing in pits when Brad came in, I knew then it was going to be ugly. Brad punched the wing so hard I believe he broke his hand.

If true that would be a great combination and another very competative team in Central Pa.

There was a rumor going around the pits the other day that Pittman had intentions to run the Highlands car at the race at Susky but they did not have any cars ready to race. However, it could have been a 1 off race or nothing but a rumor

You think?  Pittman carries the main KKR sponsor (Brad splits 2 sponsors - Ollie's and Razorback Tools both of which sponsorship $ isn't as large as Great Clips) and has arguably had the most success in KKR History bringing them their one and only WoO Championship.

Not to mention that both of those sponsors are based out of Posse-land.

If KKR drops down to one team, you have to think they'd be on the outs, having less advertising reach than Great Clips probably does.

When I interviewed Kasey a few months back at Susquehanna, Kasey confirmed Great Clips, Pepsi and Valvoline had all signed on the sprint car teams until 2018

I had heard rumors last year Pittman was on the outs and it obviously didnt happen, wonder if it will this year. Im not a KKR fan by any means but im a fan of the sport so hope we dont lose a top tier car.

1st ever store was in Mechanicsburg. Company headquarters are in Harrisburg.  But you're correct I think they do have a bunch of stores throughout Midwest and as you note Indiana mostly...

First one I ever saw was in Kokomo. Cool store, kind of like slightly less expensive Walmarts, more cramped, cool old rock & roll playing. Some good inexpensive books too. I went in cause they sponsored sprint cars, now I'm a fan

Went into one in Waterbury, Ct. this past summer, but none in Denver, Co. yet

If its true and Big Cat is the odd man out, what are the chances that Kyle Larsen fields

another team.

Not sure it's true...so I wouldn't worry too much yet.  Just cause Lee isn't with KKR anymore doesn't mean it's true.  SpcJay confirmed Kasey said Valvoline and Pepsi (and Great Clips) are back with KKR...so chances are they keep 2 cars.  I'm pretty sure Brad is pretty tight with Kasey so chances are he'll be in the car again...or not and I could be way off base. 

He's obviously a lot tighter with Kyle being bro-in-laws and all....Silly season, haha.
