    Just wondering where these guys are and if they are still running?

    Anybody have info on Ronnie Lee Hollingsworth, William Thomas, Anthony Rushing, Jeff Floyd, and how about Bub McCool. Just haven't heard these names in a while?

    Nothing on Bub McCool's website. Only attended 10 events last year.

      Hollingsworth sold all his stuff. I know he does alot of out of town work...and I heard, I repeat HEARD, that he had won full custody of his little girl. Stand up guy if that is any of the reasoning for selling out.

        Ronnie Lee sold out. The kid I help bought his toter and Billy Franklin got his cars. Rushing, as far as I know, has retired. Floyd just raced the Comp Series race on Friday night. Bub is taking care of his family business and I believe helping his son go cart race.

          Glad you started this thread, as I was wondering the same about Floyd and a few others.

          Does anyone know what Donnie Barnhart is up to? I always liked the look of his number 11 and the paint schemes of his cars.

          And there was another kid (at least a kid back then) from Arkansas, whose name I forget. I think his number was either 1A or A1, and I believe his parents owned a salvage yard or something similar? If I remember correctly, they junked a car at Volusia during speedweeks one year and literally bought another complete car from someone right there. At least that's how the story goes.

            Donny Barnhart owns a Heat & Air business.

            Not sure what Duke Whiseant is up to.

              ^^^ Whiseant! Yes, thank you!

              How about a kid from Indiana who was an up and coming star around 2000 or so? I believe his family owned a funeral home? And if I recall, he got hurt pretty bad in an ATV accident or something similar. I don't know if I ever heard of him again after that.

                  Funeral home business. Had a motorcycle wreck I believe it was, and never raced again.
                  Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                    I think William Thomas is helping operate East Alabama. He still raced some, but don't recall any recently. I'll try to catch him in a couple weeks.

                      The Undertaker was fun to watch.

                        Think Frye and Duke are on each others Christmas card list yet?

                          Oh man! Frye is not someone I would want to tick off! As I was watching, that tractor with the forks came on screen and I thought, "Man, they might need that to get Frye out of there!" A lot of carnage in that one. And I'm not familiar with how far apart their shops were in Arkansas, but it usually figures that you go racing away from home and end up having issues with someone who came from just down the road from you.

                          And yes, Thomas Ware sounds right @slingindirt83. Thanks for the responses!

                            The pleasantries the share I'm sure are more along the line of the middle finger. lol

                              And it's still chickensh!t when you go after a guy still in his car. I really didn't see anything wrong with Whiseants move anyway. He was under the guy at a sh!tty race track hard to pass on, they got together, and one bit the dust. Wasn't nothing intentional. Frye losing his sh!t and going after someone still in the car and fighting with I assume an official, little much. And I liked Bill, had at least one of his shirts.
