Let's hear who you think gets the nod for the 69k for the remainder of the year?

410 INSIGHTS

"I really like his mechanic Jimmy Russel. He was the guy 
that made Todd's car run good"

I am a 40 year PA Posse fan and a fan of Don Kreitz and the 69K team. My answer is I honestly do not know? I know the team has high standards and high expectation of sucess. I am not sure there is an availble driver out there that can step in and win big races right away with only running a 40 race schedule.

Keith Kauffman! 

(dig out the helmet and suit Keith!)

Lance fit the schedule. 
How bout once mentee Ryan Smith ?  Jacob ?
Just a guess. 40 years for me too and that's all I can come up with.

Pretty sure it's not gonna be a young gun from the left coast to run a limited schedule 

At the point in his career I don't believe the 69k gang want a guy that needs time to develop. I'm going to throw a name out there. He has run port royal regularly in the past, brings the car back in one pc, has been running his own team since he started driving sprint cars. A.J. Flick to the 69k. He has track championships in western pa., Yea the competition is weaker. He has won and consistently runs well in a car that doesn't have the financial backing to run the rpm's as many others do. He has to finish Friday and Sunday nights in western pa as he can collect pt fund  monies which helps the team. I think he would be the perfect fit.  #2 choice, Pitman.

Lucas Wolfe???  Fits experience wise at least and could still run his car when 69k dont race.   

Blaine Heimbach, runs the bottom as good anybody. And the limited schedule would work with milking cows.

Iowa's favorite son, Robert Bell!!!

Come on man, release the information, I can't keep secrets forever. :)

Todd Shaffer! Come at me Strawser lol.

Not surprised that this is still only 1 page - not too many choices.

The guy that checks all the boxes just got let go. Might be a good thing for all in the end but he checks all the boxes.

You and your buddy wingedspeed should lighten up a little soooo serious.

You guys are such whiney babies.

Alan Krimes or Lucas Wolfe. Both are smooth finesse drivers who have been pretty good at Williams Grove. Krimes never ran Port much but years ago, got around pretty decent without many laps. The best man for the team just got left go. I don't think there's anyone who isn't a fulltime driver who will have the success with them that Lance did. But they could run well with a few guys. Heimbach would be great for Port but a lot of their focus is on Williams Grove and Blane hasn't turned a lap there in well over 10 years.

Only one answer Jeff Shepard!! ✈️

I agree nice to hear respect instead of constant hate wing keeps puking.

Todd gave up a lot of wins for friendship by staying with the Beams for so long. The Beam car was a good car but not Weikert-Hamilton quality. They worked thru bad times and came out of it without falling apart like most teams do. They raced a lot but not every time there was a race. Todd always worked a day job while he was racing.

This is a sport for entertainment for fans. There's nothing in this sport that I would take personally and  get worked up about unless I knew them personally.

With the kreitz team old and not funded that well it's time to call Sammy! Sammy loves the big tracks and this would be Dream Team 2. I think it would be great team. Go Sammy!!!!!
