Good news.
He breathed new life into the team during his run at Watkins Glen. Lazier's been anonymous this year. |

I think buddy is moving on, so I don't think we'll see much of him anymore.

I think Ryan Experiences have really humbled him and he is now very hungry for a ride. He had quite a fall from grace and hopefully he can find a decent ride somewhere for next year.

On the IRL Radio Network last night, the made it sound asthough Buddy would npt be back when Briscoe is not racing....
They even asked Briscoe (who has some Australian V-8 commitments under contract that he could not break) who woulds tae the seat when he wasn;t able to drive, and he said "I don't know" This is getting strange... Is Buddy Out Completely??? |

from rumblings I've read when they told Buddy he would be out of the seat for some oval races he pretty much quit the team.
If Briscoe isn't available for Michigan and Chicagoland I don't know who they'd put in the car. Probably one of the usual suspects (Jaques, Bell, Enge, etc.) |

They're dropping like flies at the moment. Nice to see Ryan get a second chance to prove himself on ovals after his performance at the Glen, but not good for the series to have another revolving-door seat.

drivers get fired.
They will always get fired. When they don't get fired it will be a very sad day for motorsports as it will mean that results no longer matter. |
