Well, Ryan signed a contract with Intersport to drive for them from Mid-Ohio to the remainder of the season. He didn't get a drive at Detroit because of totaled car #1. Now with totaled car #2, I think the team decided to give Ryan a chance in the No. 37..

It will be interesting to see how he does in the car. Who knows, there could be some surprises.

It doesn't make sense that Clint would step out of the car. Jon I could understand.

What does Mr. Berry footing part of the bill have to do with Clint taking rank over a pay driver with a contract? Jon & Richard contribute financially, so does the pay driver, Clint zero. How is it hard to believe Clint gets the short straw? Jon has more pace than Clint ever has, if it was the other way around then it would make sense.

Of course Berry is slower than all the rest of them. What I meant is that it all makes sense why they wouldn't ask Richard to step out the car, because of him paying the bills.

I have a terrible habit of not thinking before I ask a question or throw in my two cents.

Default No World Challenge Cars

Looking forward to year attending my fourth straight year, but does anybody know why there SCCA world challenge cars did not come this year? It kinda makes it hard to justify staying for Sunday.
