I thought he retired? Either way it's going to be cool to see him back out there....

Matt Smith posted this in the Pro Mod section of YellowBullet ... it is partially in response to the surprise about the picture. That is a Turbo torque converter car .... Ricky has been fairly outspoken about not liking competitors driving that set up. He's got a great engine tuner for next year, it will be interesting to see them sort through that chassis .... turbo cars are hard to stage (well hard to stage and keep spooled up) and run some huge MPH (I'm thinking of Ricky and his love for the tunnel bumps at Bristol). If anybody can figure it out quickly, it'll be him.

"This is dad's last year driving. IDG want him to race 1 more year and they are calling it a farewell tour. Yes he purchased the new car from Balooshi and its in the shop.. Bad Brad came up yesterday and they cranked it up and got it all ready for testing as soon as he gets back from Qatar… So Dad is driving and brad is tuning it… Matt Smith"

Tricky Ricky driving a converter car? Wow. Tricky Ricky driving a former Al Anabi car? Double Wow.
