Nothing like a couple shakes of sponsor poaching for some seasoning.

It would be interesting to know how all that played out. I thought Josh and the R+L guy were buddies and that deal was Josh’s deal as long as he was racing. But maybe the cost to be on the side of the Force car compared to what they are getting to stay with Freeman is significant, who knows, but I hate the sponsor poaching. R+L had a win win either direction they went, be on one of Forces cars, or have Tony Stewart represent your company, not a way to lose either way

I'm not sure what the business model is nowadays, but there was a time where JFR and a couple others could offer more visibility with the similar amount of finances. Ask me how I know...
Also, why would a trucking company not want to be involved with a team owned by an "old truck driver"?

I agree Tony, would be a perfect fit for JFR. I imagine the new Elite team will get a ton of coverage, it being new, Erica testing in the car, Tony Stewart being the driver, possible matchups with his wife, etc etc. There is no doubt they will get a ton of air time win or lose. And I can imagine Freeman offered them some space on the PS cars as well
Aw, come on Harry. You know how much fun we have playing "Guess the Big News". How about giving us a hint, since you seem to have inside info!

honestly, if you are right, it would not surprise me. it will be a sad day when jfr decreases in size, and someday may not be around,
so i'm hoping any change will be an addition.......guess we'll find out.
jon clark, you couldn't be more rite. if i had a nickel for each of the minutes spent on this website, i'd be.......well i'd have a lot of beer money for sure

Jordan V in a funny car! Or my crazier idea - Austin and Blake A seem to be friends, so Blake brings his sponsorship to JFR and voila - another FC team!

Could it be that maybe someone is further along in their recovery than we thought?

IMO no matter what the recovery JF should never get back into a FC not even for one final pass. Just not worth it.

I wonder if Capps is buying/using all of the dragster stuff from JCM and if that puts Ida out of ride. Does JCM go away?
On a recent broadcast they talked about the completion of JCM's new shop. It would seem strange to invest that money if the team was winding down??

right around the 8:00 mark ..... not sure exactly what it all means. ron has run a jcm decal on his car the last few years,
and joe has always been on the starting line for ron's runs. sure would like to see ida stay out there in some capacity, even if part time again
and doing nhra/fox work too.

Sounded like they bought Austin Prock TF car from Force and Maynard Racing is coming on as a teammate to Capps Raps.

Would this be an expansion to JFR or Dejoria taking over for Austin Prock. While I find it hard to believe that the Prock family would leave Force racing, there has been references to it on NHRA.tv several times this year. Also Brian Lohnes has made comments that this would be an insane offseason. To me, Procks moving on would be in the insane category.
