You're going to have trouble filling the stands without Natalie Sather on that list.

[carolwicks]

wow...Danny

im surprised to see "The Dude" Danny Lasoskis name on that roster.. first time ive seen his name since the old Tony days . saw him at Eastbay a couple years ago. he can race the wheels off a sprint car...wish ocala was closer! come pick me up in your plane Mike...lol

Carol you might be the only "Dud" fan left. After his "sudden" departure from TSR the Dud has left a wake of good people hanging. Now Lonnie Parsons will get to see it first hand as Danny takes over the Casey's General Store #6 car for 2009.

On a positive note, I can't wait to see the 410s hauling the mail around Ocala Speedway. Counting the days!

Tripper it will be Sather vs. Zemken at Ocala...

Others that have announced they are planning on "starting the year in Florida" are:

Pat Cannon
Mike Erdley
Doug Esh
Brian Ellenberger
Mark Smith
Stevie Smith
Tim Shaffer

Many more will be letting their plans be known soon, and don't count on a ton of support from World of Outlaws regulars, although there are always a few that will race with any sanctioning body.

A few guesses on who else:

Craig Dollansky
Jason Myers
Dale Blaney
Dave Blaney
Kelly Kinser
Fred Rahmer
Sam Hafertepe
Tony Bruce Jr.
Chad Hillier
Greg Hodnett
Dean Jacobs
Chad Kemenah
Brock Mayes
Paul May
Joey Saldana
Todd Shaffer
Danny Smith
Josh Wells
Lucas Wolfe


A few "pretty sure they won't be's..."
Steve Kinser
Donny Schatz
Kraig Kinser
Jac Haudenschild, unless he gets a ride other than the Carnahan R-19
Gary Wright will be at the East Bay 360's


On one last note, I see where Kenny Adams is needing a sponsor to race in '09. Hopefully, some smart/rich car owner will know of his potential, and not allow him to become a spectator.

I actually read on another board (can't remember which one) that one of the "pretty sure they won't be's..." is planning to be at Ocala. I can't verify so it's probably not true but it would be a coup if it was.

[HaudFan]

On a side note...I saw where there was an arrest in the murder of Summer Smith. Apparently it was the boyfriend and another guy. Good work by the Putnam County Sheriff's office. Very sad story...

You know who I would love to see make the trip from the Midwest to Ocala is Brian Brown, Billy Alley and Brooke Tatnell. Ofcourse I would love to see my other main man "Hot Foot" Jason Meyers run as well.

I read, no Tony Stewart at the Chili Bowl this year. The team will be there but Tony won't drive due to other commitments.

[Benny The Mule]

Ocala dates are Jan. 29,30,and 31st. Dirt Mods and 410 sprints.

Looks mighty tempting!!!!!! Ocala may just well be my 1st stop for speedweeks 2009!

[Joe Dirt]

Dont forget Spud Gustin, I cant remember the last time he missed the trip to Fl. for the winter.

[Frasson118]

And don't forget Johnny Johnson. A driver in his 70's, with a chassis from the 70's, he has made the trip to Florida every single year since at least 1983. Qualifies slowest, finishes last in every single race, but comes back every single year, with an open trailer, and no pit crew. Hell, I don't think he has even changed TIRES since the 80's!

Johnny is my low-buck hero!

Added - Pennsylvania's Chad Layton

[HaudFan]

add Jason Solwold in Pete Postupak's Pete's Bridge Street Auto Sales #25...Tripper still thinks Solwold should be in the Carnahan R19 car.
