But I doubt S3 will ever consider signing me after this historic race (2014a ARCSOA DuPont Cup Series S7: Race 6/24 Virginia) -My favorites of all time at South Boston.

Would u like to drive the 74 for Sttutgart United Motors?

I accept the offer from Yamp Motorsports! I'm excited to race in the 8 car.

Jeffery Finguy isn't the only one wanting to join in the DWSR. His protegé Skyla Johnson want's to be apart of the series. Maybe RedBull could, fund a lites ride. As well as Finguy paying out of pocket for her to be in Lites.

It is too early to be finding drivers because most people that scavenge at this time are desperate because they might know it will take them awhile to fill out all cars. It is not a no but I'm saying it is too early. Let's just say "TBA"

Nick Pericles, got into the chase in his rookie season, and is now trying to do it again!

A nice healthy batch of rookies so far.

Kyle Collins looking for fulltime DWSR ride!

Kyle Collins has officially announced via Twitter that he will be going for his first fulltime DWSR ride. He hasn't gotten any offers yet but hopes they will start coming soon!

Blue Flare Motorsports aiming for another Patriot Cup rides again

BFM are trying to get the #41 & #81 cars as theirs in the DWSR Patriot Cup. They will be sponsoring Tangerine most likely due to the fact that is their parttime ride/formula alpha sponsor!

#81 is for Texan-Audi, other than that I'm fine with it.

*Correction, there is no chase, and you can't do it again because you can only be a rookie once

Alex Allen moving into ownership role with AFRT, will not be driving next year.


In a recent press release, Allen Family Racing reveals that due to the failing health of Tom Allen, the patriarch of the Allen family, Alex has been given full ownership of the team. As a result, Alex has said that he wants to focus on team ownership and also focus on racing in the Elites.


Team also announces some plans for next year.

Allen Racing announces that Patriots Trophy driver Vladimir Petrov will be the new driver of one of the teams cars. They are hoping for the numbers of 09 for Petrov and 0 for Vincent Allen. Also they would like to extend a Patriot's trophy ride offer to Kyle Collins. More details coming in a few days.

Kyle Collins is currently looking at the contract to the AFRT Patriot's Trophy ride and stated via Twitter (again), "I will definately consider this offer, but I can't accept right away. But thanks for the offer Allen, this may be the contract I'll accept"

I stand corrected then...

Sanctum Eyes WSR Grid Positions

With the success that Sanctum has seen while supporting the DurbinSport team in the ARCSOA AT&T Elite Series, it appears as though Sanctum is planning on launching its own racing team in the DuPont World Series of Racing. Details have reportedly not been completely ironed out however the team claims they aim to run full time cars in both divisions if possible.

I was planning on doing something but I have to worry about another thing right now. But I'm just going to just say that we will enter 2 cars in lites. No one has been announced yet. We are just hoping Finguy is alright.

OOC: I've got 35 cars and the grid space is 36 for full-time drivers. If you want to run a single car team, you can.

Team Thunder having funding problems, expecting buyout from Subaru
It seems that the recent struggles over the past few seasons have finally made a mark. Earlier today, Team Thunder owner William Duncan made an announcement regarding his team. He stated that entering 5 cars with a lack of results or sponsorship has taken a toll, and that the team might not be able to make another season without doing something drastic.

That something drastic was mentioned to be that Duncan plans to sell the team to the Subaru Motor Company, which seems like the best option to make the team competitive again. This has not been confirmed at the current time, but expect an update soon.

S3 rumored to be looking into Davis

Jordan Davis is supposedly drawing interest from one of the longest standing teams in DWSR history which has had a lot of success. The report is that they have not been happy with the performance from Tamur Delic this season. This is, however, just a rumor and not a formal offer or confirmation about who will be in the undecided number in the third full time car

Bass Pro Shops points leader hopes for a ride

Jeanne Sandfer, the current points leader in the ARCSOA Bass Pro Shops Truck Series, is hoping to get back to full time racing in the DWSR but is still open to being a part time driver if necessary or even a Lites ride

Fitzwater is still looking for a full-time ride after getting no offers from any team and needs a offer really bad before he flies to compete in the V8 Supercar race at Symmons Plains in Tasmania next week

With the unfortunate passing of Jeffery Finguy, he will never compete again. But still, is there going to be a replacement for him? Rumors are now, his protege, Skyla Johnson may indeed take over. In retrospects to having the same racing style as him, Johnson does have a track record of some wins on short tracks. But, she is Finguy's successor, and she wants to win one for him.
