Add Aaron Reutzal to the list announcing their return to the ASCOC

Does the Ascoc have  list of regular drivers anywhere like the WoO does on their website?

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

He will still be racing in the Midwest 

2020. Article says California only in 2021.

Trey Starks will race at Knoxville again in 2020.   It sounds like the plan is similar to their 2019 schedule.        It will be interesting to see how they do there next year.    They had a lot of bad luck in 2019 but won a preliminary night at the Nationals so hopefully their luck has changed.

Right now unless their are some suprises or new add ons it looks like all three traveling series may be down All Stars are loosing Zearfoss and Hobough for sure and maybe both 70s not sure about Elliason but right now looks like only five of last years group.ASCS loosing 15H and Wayne Johnson at least and maybe more.Outlaws already lost Marks and Masden and most likely Stewart. 

I have read the press release and other articles.

But why did Dale Blaney and McGhee split up?

Does Dale want to just race local or have a shorter schedule? 

It is strange to split up a strong team as Blaney/McGhee gave Ruetzel a good fight for 75% of the season.

The split makes no sense to me either unless Wise is bringing sponsorship money to the deal that Dale could not provide.... Maybe we will be proven wrong, but I can't see this new pairing having a better season than Dale had in 2019.

Maybe Brent Marks is just what the CJB car needs but my hope is somewhat overshadowed by my skepticism - not of Brent but of CJB.

Maybe Brent can help this team find the mojo. I don't think they really had the mojo when David Gravel was winning in it, Gravel's a good shoe and has proven he can put good stuff in victory lane - mojo or not. 

Broken record time: If Fred Rahmer looks like dogdoo in the car - a year before he wins just about everything and retires, it ain't the driver. Me thinks in, what?, 30+ years of driving, the CJB car is the only car he consistently looked bad in. 

But, maybe, just maybe, with all the owner/manager/driver pressure off, Brent can make it go. i'd say he has as good a chance as anybody.

Dale only wanted to run the all star schedule last year, thats why hunter raced some For them. I think the McGhee team wants to race more. plus the kid has been awfully impressive for around 10 races in a winged sprint

Cory Eliason back with Rudeen 26 full time on the All Star circuit.

Saw Keith Kunz Motorsports has signed Buddy Kofoid for the whole USAC midget series.

Is the 11 that Wise is driving for Sam McGee the same car Kofoid drove last year it is it a different 11?

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

Different Buddy drove 11N.

Buddy drove the Ed Neumiester (spelling no 100%) 11N. The 11 that that Zeb Wise is taking over is the car that Dale Blaney drove last year with the All Stars. 

All in all, a fairly quiet PRI in terms of information and/or team and driver news compared to some previous years.

I think it says alot about the state of racing today ehen three of the top twenty drivers in the country are looking at starting the year with no full time ride Tim Shaffer,Dale Blaney,and Shane Stewart could be four if you ad Joey Saldana.

At least two of them are not looking to travel full time, and unfortunately even though I don’t agree with it there is one thing all 4 have in common.

Isn't zearfoss still trying to run all stars?

This is silly, had a dream a few nights ago that Logan Schuchart was working in a tire shop in Tisdale Saskatchewan. Said he just needed a change in pace and was gonna get back to the WoO in 2021.

Sorry folks, guess i get to watch him spin wrenches for a fendered thunder class this summer.
