New Comp Plus Rumor (4 Viewers)

[Paul]

My guess is Prock is the driver, not sure the crew chief. Tobler is the one championship crew chief that comes to mind and I know he's friends with Jimmy.

Be pretty cool if Rahn went to JFR to tune Robert and J Prock tuned A Prock

 

[Nunz]

That rumor didn't sound like it was referring to Prock, to me it sounded like someone who's been away for a bit.

 

[cknight]

Ed McCulloch? Surely he's getting bored with retirement by now.

 

[J. S.]

Tobler has retired. Why would he want to come back to the grind? Maybe to tune for one or two races a year, but not the full tour.

I heard a rumor yesterday, that this car and driver is coming back. I can't remember his
name. The picture below is Indy (1975?) as a 16 year old back then I thought this car
was just bitchin!!!

I read it as if it's one person coming back, someone who has experience as a driver and crew chief (i.e. Dave Grubnic, Mike Neff). I could be wrong though

 

[Paul]

I now re-read it (I may have just returned home from a night out last night when I posted this) and it does read like it's the same person. A championship winning crew chief and a Rookie of the Year (assuming that's the award, I can't think of many others)...... the only one to do that is Neff.

 

[Tybamf]

My only complaint with Neff is that he would not really be returning to the "show" as the article suggests. Yes, as a driver he would be returning, but not in general.

I still think it is a pair. Prock and Tobler are the only two I can think of without resurecting someone from the dead or having the people be 80 years old. Plus, aren't the Procks and Toblers pretty good friends?

 

[ZWeinstein]

I think there are two ways to interpret the wording. The original way I read it was that someone who was both an award winning driver and champion crew chief was returning and the only one I could think of that matched both of those descriptions was Mike Neff. You could also read that as an award winning driver paired with a championship crew chief are both returning which would describe Austin Prock & Rahn Tobler.


One random thought and a huge twist, Didnt Capps mention something about a second team or hinted at a second team? Could Zippy run a second car at RCM and drive and tune?

Wow! I was mentioned before Skuza, Scelzi, Bazemore, Beckman, TJ, Settles, Tharp, Bradley, Walther, etc. Thanks to all of you that are old enough to remember. Chase

 

[Chili]

maybe Dave Connolly.

 

[Paul]

Dave didn't win rookie of the year.

 

[Chili]

Dave didn't win rookie of the year.

While I don’t know of any other awards for drivers, it doesn’t say rookie or the year. Being Austin Prock is already on the entry list for 2022 so that wouldn’t be a rumor either.

 

[T.Smith]

 

[glofria]

My money is on Brandon Bernstein.

 

[Rajunz]

You guys are forgetting about the Aussie, 2014 Rookie of the Year!

 

[ZigZag]

No one mentioned Del Worsham.
Maybe he has a few minutes to spare.

 

[TF CREW]

Be pretty cool if Rahn went to JFR to tune Robert and J Prock tuned A Prock

Never going to happen after Eric, John will never let Father CC son
