Choquette?

Saw it mentioned under another thread and wanted to float it out on is own. Anybody know what he is doing these days? I saw Gary Fountain was signed up to run the FAST race in the 33.

Still no answer Bubba. I guess no one knows. He just fell off the face of the Earth. I researched Fountain and it seems to be a rental ride?

He is in North Carolina

Last I heard he was living up in North Carolina.

The Fountain deal is pretty much a rental ride, but to the best of my knowledge Choquette wasn't renting it. I think it was one of those deals where Choquette was a hired gun to show off the potential of the equipment so Fountain could get some rental drivers.

I heard all of that second hand, so take it for what it's worth.

I like Choquette, back when I still went to late model races, and think it's a shame he hasn't got any further. He'd probably make a damn fine ARCA driver, but that series is the epitome of the rent-a-ride business these days.

If he is truly without a ride/sponsor, that is a hard to fathom. One of the best I have seen in a while. I recall at the Derby last year, he was putting on a clinic coming through the field and got caught up in someone else's mess. Hope he gets a ride for that one anyhow.

Absolutly right, started 19th and was up to 4th or 5th and was taken out by a lapped car. Was great to watch!

same problem for alot of people. he still has his cars so theres hope things will get better. it is sad to see such talent sitting in the side lines. just like Rocketman... hope all our drivers get back on the track soon. miss them alot.
