    Interim Drivers for the Suspended Drivers?

    Just a thought but with Jimmy and Scott being suspended from some big money races, and this is how these two drivers make their living, wouldn't it be in their best financial interest to put a up and coming driver in the car to go after the money. Maybe a guy like Chris Ferguson could finish in the money and make the best of a bad situation for these two teams. Who are some other drivers in yalls opinion would deserve a shot fro these races?

    They have the Lucas series which I'm sure will keep them busy by looking at the schedule. Plus after last weekend I don't think Bloomquist will need to sign up for welfare anytime soon.

      Realistically, you would want to put someone in the car that can win those big shows. Otherwise the payoff isn't worth the effort to do it. No offense intended to anybody else out there wheeling a late model. There isn't one other driver that can climb into the 0 or the 20 and have a decent shot to win the World, USA Nats, or PDC.

            Eldora, I'm with ya. The other tracks not really, but at Eldora I would honestly do it. He is very good there.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                No one is going to drive Scott Bloomquists car as well as him. Nor would he want an outsider that close to his car 24/7.

                      They aren't going to put someone in the #0 or the #20. If someone would happen to win in their cars, they would never hear the end of it. And I think their ego wouldn't allow that to happen. JMO

                          Birky is retired. He has no desire to race again. His part time schedule didn't go as planned this year. The fire in the belly has burned out. Which sucks, as I was a Birky fan.

                              As dumb as this might sound why wouldn't Bloomquist put Brady Smith in his car for Cedar Lake?? There isn't anyone available that knows the track better than him and he and Scott had a decent relationship up till Brady retired from racing.
