    Be interesting to see how long he stays in the USMTS stuff having to fund everything out of his own pocket.

    I thought that would be a great duo. Wonder who fills the Gressel ride now?

    Thornton won some USMTS shows in the ride and was running well.

    Seems like Ed wants younger shoes. Stormy Scott would be the only one I could think of. He was pretty good what little bit he was in a late model in 2015. I'd like to see Jake O'Neil get a shot at it myself. He does pretty good with what he has.

    I think he is saying that Gressel likes getting younger drivers not that Ricky was to old, I think he will pick a driver who is good/great in a modified over a late model driver. They are a USMTS first team and a MLRA/MARS/Corn Belt team second based on history.

    No one stays with the Gressel team for very long. They must be hard to work for.

    That's not true, Scott Green drove the Gressel cars for a few years, he always had the best equipment but did not do so good. I think when Gustin started they were a 2 car team and Gustin started winning right from the start and Green was gone after that. I think Gustin was the only driver after Green up until late last summer when they parted ways and RC Whitwell started last fall and was done after the Wild West Shootout and then Ricky Thornton up until now. I don't think that's to bad for the last maybe 10 years

    Shocking news that Thorton left Gressel just before the 50 thousand dollar June 15 - 17 mod race special @ Cedar Lake,Wis. Then, maybe Thorton wants all of the $ 50000.

    Maybe Gustin re-unites with Gressel depending on how the current deal with Hughes is working.....?

    Dylan Yoder would be a great choice I'd love to see him get a good ride where all he has to worry about is driving I think that he has what it takes

    Maybe Ryan Gustin is the driver Gressel needs.
