Maybe he goes to CJB 5. Chase Raudman said the new driver would be a surprise to most. I think Fred drove for the team years ago.

Fred didn't have a good run for CBJ and wasn't happy how he was treated ended up in the Sell 20s and had a good final year.

Its definitely not him going to the cbj car

A few rumors swirling around about Freddie leaving the 8 car.  Fact or fiction?

I'd refuse to drive that car too until they get a properly sized # on the top wing. 

Can't Black Beard or YAK offer some pro bono work?

i was thinking yesterday when i was running past the grove that central pa needs a new hero.  a few years ago we had dewease, montieth, logan wagner, ryan smith, and greg hodnett who i think everyone would agree were great guys that were also competitive.  macri can be a brat but he at least backs it up.  dewease and wagner are still around but not running near the level they were just a couple years ago.

we're basically left with guys who are trying to prove themselves with rahmer and dietrich.  i've seen rahmer put the snow plow on enough times to know that's who he is.  he plays victim and then sends somebody upside down.  dietrich often does a disappearing act for weeks if not months at a time despite all his talk.  he did nothing after somehow he cleaned up at the weikert back in may.

tj stutts winning against the outlaws was a great night.  it would be great if guys like stutts and chad trout could be up front more often.  

Very true.   Back in 2022 the racing in PA was incredible.       There were great battles almost every feature.     Dewease, Dietrich, Peck, Marks, Macri, and Logan Wagner were all evenly matched.     Most races ended with a close battle where you didn’t know who would win until the checkered flag waved.     Tight, clean racing, slide job ping pong, and last lap passes were the norm.   I think that level of competition made of them all better, quicker, more skillful drivers too.       By the time October got here, the visiting teams didn’t have much of a chance.    The next season, (POOF ! ) it was gone and the 2023 PA season seemed like a soap opera.

I had high hopes for the 8R.      I thought maybe we had a new Dream Team here in PA.      Fred Rahmer, Rich Eichelberger, Don Ott, and Freddie Rahmer,     Freddie had already beaten the Outlaws years ago and the other guys all have pretty impressive resumes.       Maybe it was a case of too many cooks in the kitchen.   I recall seeing Freddie bring the car back to the pits early on.      Fred, Rich, and Don were all lined up waiting to give feedback (tell him what he did wrong).    I felt bad for Freddie because it looked like he would be under a lot of pressure.

Maybe Chase Dietz will continue to do well.      And Troy Wagaman.    Troy has impressed me a lot.      He is a blue collar guy who respects other drivers and equipment.    Troy gets my vote for our new “hero”.  Justin Whittall is getting an opportunity too so maybe he can continue his upward trajectory.        

Brenham Crouch will be the new driver of the 5 car. It was previously annouced that Tye Wolfgang would be going to CJB as crewchief as well, but he's staying with KKR now in a bigger role with the 49 car while the 49 crewchief moves over to the 9 car.

If Brenham is the guy at CJB that would be the single dumbest move of the 2024 off-season. CJB would have been better off trying to get Sye Lynch has experience on the road travel and wants to be a full time traveler. He has shown speed at big events but just can't seem to put a full night together. What has Brenham shown? 

Money?
