So whats the deal with Roth and Dollansky? Havent heard anything nor seen them racing anywhere in the last 2 weeks.

I was thinking the same thing.  That car should be back out on the track!

I heard ..or it is rumored that they are building Craig's cars to his liking...that's been weeks ago though so who knows.

Sorry I'm not sorry if I used the word rumored b/c apparently that's a bad word on a racing forum. 

Keep It Real

This just does not look like a good fit to me. They should have put Haud back in that car. Exspecially the first weekend that Dolansky was in it at Eldora. HELLO!!!

No what should have happened was keep Gravel in the car !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I have been wondering that same thing.  Not a word anywhere and that's unusual for Craig seeing as he has always been good about getting the word out.  Nothing on Craig's site or FB page, nothing on the Roth site and I live an hour from Elk River and everyone in the Sprint Car community knows each other here in central Minnesota because there aren't that many of us.  Matter of fact Craig's dad bought his first car from my cousin many decades ago.  Heck, I even know Craig well enough to be on a first name basis but I haven't heard a word.  I've been out of touch a bit lately so I was wondering the same thing.  I used to have his phone number when I was doing interviews but I washed my cell phone in my jean pocket a few years back and lost a bunch of phone numbers. 

I'm with you on wondering what's up but the lack of information seems to indicate there is some confidentiality involved and his track record is to keep fans informed.  I'm one of those rare folks in this day and age who can still keep a secret so I don't have any information and I'm guessing just like everyone else.  The Granite City and Cedar Lake WoO shows are coming up and there are a ton of Dollansky fans up here so I hope they can get things sorted out and get back out there soon.

I have been a CD fan for many years... hell I have all of his wing panels in my garage from all his cars, all the way back to before the Gumout deal with Karavan... if he wanted us to know what's going on, we would know... The second to the last rumor was there were building their own cars again (don't forget they built a race shop of their own about 10 years ago they still own), and the latest is they are regrouping like others have said... Would be nice to know a define answer though... so I think it is a combo of both rumors...

The Crowd Pleaser IS THE BEST ever!

I know where that is and know a friend of CD that owns a graphics business a couple miles down the road and he does wraps on all classes including Sprints.  Now that my curiosity has been stirred up I'll have to do some messaging.  This deal has been pretty quiet so I don't think we'll find anything out on here until we have a need to know.  If you are in that area and drive by the shop let us know if there's anything going on.  Someone, I think it was the dad of the graphics guy, told me a few years back that Craig was thinking about selling the shop but I never heard anything about it after that.

The word I got from a stone's throw down the road in Princeton was that the shop was sold and there's some kind of business in there now.  Now that I think about it I thought I saw in the press release that they were going somewhere in Indiana to sort the cars out.  It's one of those wait and see what happens kind of deals I guess.
