Catch 22 Pro Stock Team (1 Viewer)

Folks, I don't know if you've heard or not, but Deuce Staley the new sponsor for the Catch-22 Pro Stock team next year was cut from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Apparently he has only played one game all year. Do you think this will affect his ability to sponsor a two car PS operation next year?

that deal has been done and over for a while.

What I find funny is Marty Reid announced, at the Finals, the Catch-22 team, sponsored by 'former' NFL star Deuce Staley....which I found funny because he was on an active roster with the Steelers at the time.

Well, I just wonder if the funding will be there for him to sponsor this team...that is interesting in relationship to the Marty comment. Anyone else have any insight?

 

[Jer]

he is with yates right? Didnt Yates say in his blog he was still looking for a sponsor?

 

[Pete]

Jim Yates and Billy Gibson will drive GTO's for Staley.

Bruce, I think I missed that story. Can you let me know where you found it?? Thanks man.

its not in print anywhere, i just know some of the guys that were involved in the teams and i just know what i was told. sorry guys.

I hope that this is a minor bump in the road for the team, I am sure that they thought of life after football for Deuce before going ahead with any type of racing team/partnership. If not (did they really expect NFL Dollars to keep rolling in ad infinitum?), Yates is right back to where he was this year, and at times, that wasn't that bad!

 

[Pete]

so the team disbanded and its history.....is that what your saying Bruce?

Yeah...gave P/S a little variety........

Compplus says all is well in the land of Catch 22 racing ... and Yates is quoted as saying that he and Staley had commitments for the team in Deuce's life after football. Good luck in '07 to all involved.
