In a post on my facebook from Billy Pauch JR. He said he heard that Doug might be driving the Pinter 92 @ Lincoln.

Heard he is a big contender for the Middleswarth car but they haven't announced yet. Great driver at Port, would be a great fit to the 7 car. Heard Young was staying in the 92 anyway.
Some folks say Heckmans shafted him pretty much like the Golden car, they didn't really want to put out the effort, and that he had sponsors step up for a few big shows and then owners decided not to take advantage of the deals.
Would be nice to see Doug back with owners that really want to race and race to win.

Doesn't sound like it unless you meant Young and not Esh.
From ibracn.com
YOUNG RACING NEWS

FACT - (1-20-15 @ 5:15 pm CST) - I received word that Niki Young will be driving the Pinter #92 in 2015. The Pinter equipment is sitting in the Young race shop getting prepared right now. The team will race weekly at Lincoln Speedway

You don't think Heimbach will rebound from third in the points?

Why Just Mr.Wagner....There are other drivers at Port capable of winning the Title.......Look out Rodney Westhafer is ready to make some noise up there and just may have a breakout season. With Kreitz and Davey Brown Jr. heavily influancing this team in 2015 LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!!

Hope Doug Esh finds a ride , as he is a good guy and driver. Far as I know the Middlesworth car is parked , i was told that by his sister last year during the Jim Nace Memorial race at Selinsgrove . She was a sponsor on Blane Heimbach's car and her and her husband are now not involved on that car as well unless they changed there minds ?

If Phil Walter does run the chip car it would be because of his connections with Moonshine Tatoos!

Gators, can you at least give a hint. Is it a current 410 driver, or is it an upcoming 358 driver like Givler.

Shafted him how? By giving him a ride for a year? It's a very expensive sport and none of the owners have to do it. The 8H ran Port and WG for points last year when the plan was to only run Port and few big shows at the Grove. Doug was in the points battle at the Grove so they let him race weekly there too. I wouldn't doubt if running 2 1/2 mile motor tracks each week took it's toll on this lower budget team. The Hammer is a heckuva driver and I don't why he can't keep a ride. Most drivers at leaat thank the owners for giving them an opportunity when their tenure in a car ends. There's a lot of good drivers that it would be nice to see in a full time ride, but these rides don't exist in central PA anymore except for the 27. It's just too expensive anymore. If your family isn't wealthy, your chances of making it in sprint car racing are nil these days.

I was wondering if Mke would return to the seat after breaking his back last year. He's no spring chicken.

If you only knew what went on behind the scenes. You'd agree Doug got shafted many time by the Heckman's last year.

" If you only knew ". Well, you do know how the last two car owners were treated by certain individuals. Want to be the next?
