I believe they mentioned during the IRP telecast that Gerhart's non-RP cars are now being prepared by Bob Schacht.

His car had "Bob Schacht Motorsports" on the rear quarter panel at IRP.

I also got a good look last weekend after the race of Kimmel Racing's new hauler design. They used a photo I took at Salem last year for the sides of the hauler.

Saw a bit of the Winchester race, Spencer Gallagher has potential as an announcer. I thought he was pretty good.

It's what, $30,000 to lease it? Not bad I guess. You'll still have rich kids probably renting motors from Cup teams at the big tracks, but maybe there won't be short fields at the shorter tracks with this and the composite bodies coming.

You're close. That's Wayne Peterson's newest pride and joy, fielded by Bill Catania last season as a Ford. Supposedly Peterson picked up a Dodge engine on the cheap at the same time, so they just slapped on the appropriate nosepiece for the full effect.

I wish ARCA, K&N, NCATS and the two corpses of Pro Cup were all on the same spec.

Now that's as ARCA as an ARCA car can get.

Anybody know if this is James Hylton's active race shop? Stumbled across it earlier today. Seemed pretty inactive.

Doesn't the #48 have some sort of alliance with Empire Racing? Or is that just for superspeedway races?

Kevin Swindell's winning car. From what I hear, he had a practice crash and the team didn't get out a back up car (Due to weather cancelling qualifying).

Here it is in all this splendor.
