[NWMT PR]

Give me a couple more weeks and I should be able to update this pretty much all the way through.

Early indications are that we'll be stronger in 2012 than in 2011.

[Acadia]

From recent releases, things are looking good.

[uticamike]

Bobby and Matt out, Mike Leaty in (limited events).

[DaFingz]

I wonder if we are going to see the Gary Cretty 25 on track this year again. It was nice have that car back at NHMS and the NS Shootout.

[DaFingz]

I thought Woody was reported in the John Lukosavage 11 car...?

[Gil]

Looks like they will finally have a full field at Loudon again!!!

:applause::applause::applause:

[the cook]

woody is in the 11 car

[worm]

tba ? what happen to 10 car plus his great crew

[fastbackss]

Thanks for posting that.

I was hoping to see Cole Powell on the list...

[Acadia]

Well that's good to know, certainly wouldn't want this to be based on hearsay. ;)

There is still well over a month to go and perhaps a few more will step in.

Let's hope that there are more that run full-time, and more show up at each event. But it is looking pretty good.

Thanks

I can't wait for the IceBreaker!!!!!

[NWMT PR]

Pitkat confirms he is in car No. 11 ... that was my mistake. I'm currently trying to track down Emerling's exact situation.

An update to Civali ... he does not have plans at the current time.

Powell ... team has not requested a number yet for this year, which is why I didn't include him above.

[JED]

Powell told us he is looking for a place to garage the #73 modified down south to run the NWSMT.

[nymods]

the Cretty #25 will be at New Hampshire and possibly a few other Whelen events. Also a possiblility to run the ROC tour as well

[Goldy]

Flemke Jr. in the King 28.. that's great news.. Glad that both can continue to race this season - rolling stones gather no moss..
Best of luck Don, Edward and team..

Goldy,
Any word on how many races they are planning on running? Thanks.

[Axel]

Goldy - Polish National Home, Monday at noon. See ya there!

[limodmaniac]

Flemke plans on running the entire tour, I think.

[Flemke Fan]

This is fantastic news. Now we will see what a super wheelman like Eddie can do with top-notch equipment. It's going to be fun to watch!

[SUfan]

Mike Leaty is out of the WMT mix. The team lost a sponsor that was going to help pay for it.

This is fantastic news. Now we will see what a super wheelman like Eddie can do with top-notch equipment. It's going to be fun to watch!

Think before you type and write stupid statements. What you are saying is that Eddie built himself not one but two inferior race cars for himself to drive and Bob built us his poorest motors.:confused:

If he performs well it is certainly not due to being in poor equipment in the past.

[DaFingz]

I dunno about the 28 having "top notch equipment" right now. I dont mean any disrespect toward that team in any way but when Don King shut the team down last year he was quoted as saying:

"It's time for a new chassis, it's time for a new motor and I just didn't have the money to put into those things this year." - The Backstretch September 22, 2011

Who knows maybe Eddie will be updating some of the 28 teams equipment this year on his own. Regardless, it is great news having Eddie back with the tour and it would be fantastic if he could find his way back into victory lane toward the end of his career.

[BigMac]

Mike Leaty is out of the WMT mix. The team lost a sponsor that was going to help pay for it.

I thought I read somewhere that Jan was also going to make a few spot starts. Is that off too?

[modfan4ever]

Flemke Jr. in the King 28.. that's great news.. Glad that both can continue to race this season - rolling stones gather no moss..
Best of luck Don, Edward and team..

Can't wait to get with Eddie and the rest of the crew in 2 weeks , glad to hear that the same crew is back together again...So let's go racing boys.... :) :)

[Goldy]

Did I miss something? What happened to the Ruldoph in the 98 car - not at Thompson and not on the entry list for Stafford..

I would have bet he'd chaulk up his 2nd tour victory this year. Hope to see that driver/car combo in the mix at some point..

[RGeeProductions]

Rudolph didn't plan on running tour, from what was said at the end of last year. He is supposed to go run dirt shows this year.
The list Jason put up includes many that will only hit a few shows this year (local track, New Hampshire, Bristol) and some that had no plans to run at all.

[Goldy]

Thanks Rich and Jaws.. bummer for us and our car counts - good for those dirt fans - Eric's got the skills..

[Sicklajoie]

Dirt pays a helluva lot better too!
