I remember at one of the races earlier this year when Mike was back as a spectator, he said they were going to field a 2nd TF car but he wasn't going to drive it. He said he was going to drive something maybe a PS motorcycle? Just going on my fading senior memory! Maybe someone will remember the interview better than me.

I thought i heard he was def coming back to top fuel and he wanted to make a few runs in psm?? Sounds like troy fasching is back in the game!

So what does this mean for Robert Hight, is he going to drive the Peak car or is he done driving.

I don't think he'll be full time no matter what he drives or rides. There is definitely a learning curve to riding a PSM. The only thing I know he's done is a burnout and maybe a launch on a PSM. I could see he and Shumate sharing a crew (not a car) for different events in TF.

no announcement yet and we really don't know much about his health. The door may be opening for Beckman or a 3rd car if the money appears.

Not to much information thrown out today. There was a few items of interest.

Tony Schumacher didn’t expect any changes for 2025 but said they needed a name on the side of the car.

Krista Baldwin will have a new sponsor for the Finals as will Paul Lee. Sounded hopeful that it could end up being more than a one race deal.

Alan Johnson’s daughter Melanie will be driving for the McPhillips TAD team in the Vegas regional this weekend.

Julie Nataas will not be racing TAD next year. Looking at moving into Top Fuel or potentially Funny Car. Didn’t sound like she had any deal to do so. Just open for a ride in either.

Travis Schumake will run Phoenix and Norwalk along with at least three other races. Hoping to put together deals for 10 races total.

I’m just guessing he will be back in Top Fuel next year. I expect Jasmine to be back too but I don’t know if they will have two full time cars. I know they experimented having two cars in St. Louis (Nataas) and Vegas (Shumake) and I would guess they were fairly happy with the results.

hope he gets Smoke 1st round

There are always crew chief movement that we don’t expect. I have no idea who is going where but both Hart and Tony Stewart said they are adding new help. There are so many teams with two minds more than likely one of them will be lured away.

I thought the word on Kloeber in recent years was that he is difficult to work with, and that's why he hasn't been brought on board with another team.

 

[none]

Wouldn't mean a thing. They would wish each other a safe run and get in the cars.

Did you know they raced in four finals this year? Both claimed the Central Region for TAD. Tony won the Championship, Gary finished 2nd.

Sorry to spoil your fun,
Alan
