Riley D'Hondt Motorsports Dissolved?: After much fanfare, the partnership between Bill Riley and former Yates Racing general manager Eddie D'Hondt is no more. The two announced goals to form an ambitious Cup and Busch program back in August, 2006, aligning themselves with Toyota. But sponsorship never materialized, and the team only made one Nextel Cup race throughout its existence; Marc Goossens finished 38th last June at Infineon Raceway. The Busch program appeared in better shape, with veteran David Green driving a handful of races; however, he and development driver Bobby Santos never could drudge up the financial support to go with them. In half-a-dozen events, their highest finish was 11th with Green at Nashville. While that team has dissolved, Eddie D'Hondt supposedly still plans to remain in the ownership business he hopes to run some Busch and ARCA races in 2008 under the D'Hondt Motorsports banner.(Fronstretch.com Newsletter)(12-17-2007)
