Sorry, haven't been around much. Been busy with some other stuff going on.
The Wallace news is absolute BS. He's run 11 Daytona 500s and they say he hasn't raced in any "major" series recently enough. Of course, NASCAR does this to a small team like MBM. Hoping they can find someone to put in the car with such little notice.

It sucks but it is what it is. Let him run a few things this year, and maybe he can try next year.

Kenny said that Mike had only ran a couple of dirt races but he was able to keep up with the field in those races. Apparently that's all that he has raced in over the last 5 years and that's why Mikes not being allowed to race. Very sad. If only he raced in the SRX series... lol

..but yeah, I am surprised that he can't race in ARCA or Trucks. Especially ARCA, where like the majority of the field are drivers who Mike probably could beat even with a lot of rust behind the wheel. At least that's what it seemed like last year. None of the 9 full time drivers in ARCA won a race last year. They were all won by Sawalich, Zilisch and others.

Mark Martin remember him fondly was one of my family faces drivers. I was team Bobby LaBonte.

Apparently Jr Motorsports has an announcement tomorrow afternoon that's Daytona related... and Blaze just beat me to it by seconds...

I would be so happy if we got a JRM Car in the 500. If so I wonder who would be in it. I think Truex is still tied to Toyota. So I don’t think it can be him.

I’ve heard that MTJ is gonna run for Tricon in a car built by JGR

Yeah, I heard about that one also.

My guess is that Allgaier will race for JRM in the Daytona 500. That's the most probable thing to me from all of the speculation that I have seen.

I wish that Truex broke off from Toyota and he would race for JRM. That would be awesome.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

I think Allgaier in the 500 in a JRM car (that’ll be built by HMS) seems like the most logical thing.

When is the Daytona 500 this year?
