JFR replacement driver (1 Viewer)

interesting article in NHRA.com today. It appears they may wait until Brainerd to put a driver in Johns car: https://www.nhra.com/news/2024/funny-car-prock-has-commanding-lead-top-10-drama-swirls-behind-him

It says the replacement driver can only race for 8 races a year. Makes sense to wait to Brainerd and race the rest of the year and try to win a title in the car.

Would love to see Ashley or Courtney, but very much doubt that would happen. Next most awesome choice would be Gary Densham. All the drivers mentioned here would make excellent choices, though

Maybe Tony P will apply for the job. lol

I’d like to see Densham get the ride. Give him a championship caliber car and crew and he will probably win a bunch of rounds.
Besides, they’re not his parts.

he's waiting on a call

never happen

Whit Bazemore now that would be a odd couple.........I would say any driver out there not driving would answer the call no matter how much bad blood there is between them.

Dean Skuza ! Sorry one of us had to do it.

 

[stitcherbob]

is Mike Neff busy right now?

If I'm not mistaken, Neff is the CC for Tony Schumacher.

I keep thinking Beckman…I think he would fit right in….Although….Skuza or Bazemore could happen….Absolutely…
I bet Bazemore still has that stinkeye face he’s had in the past …
Tony P ???…..Pass…

 

[mole]

Hey Bob….How are you feeling these days ??….Everything good ???

 

[jgrigz]

Phil Burkhart or Terry Haddock

 

[Huge]

I have no idea who will get the ride, but I would love to see either Jack Beckman or Tommy Johnson Jr. Both are great drivers and awesome guys.

 

[mark]

If I was JFR looking for a replacement, Fast Jack would be my guy for the vacant seat.

 

[DanTheFan]

Jack is great for the sport and the sponsors would welcome that. I’d still bet on Hight but have seen no info on his recovery.

How about Stevie "Fast" Jackson? Perhaps even Lyle Barnett, as he was in line to get Leah's ride before Tony decided to drive.

I love your thinking and we need to get both of those guys in the class. I just don’t think they will put a rookie in the seat at least to finish out 2024.
