Blaney's career is up in the air...BDR layoffs: Dave Blaney knows hell be involved in racing in some capacity in 2009, but thats speaking in general terms. It could be in NASCAR Sprint, Nationwide or Trucks series or it could be as overseer of his 14-year-old sons super late-model short-track activities. Following the last of 36 Sprint Cup races at Homestead Miami Speedway on Nov. 16, the Hartford native reflected on the 2008 season, but, more painfully, gazed into auto racings crystal ball. Im ready for a break, said Blaney, who finished 31st in the owners points standings. Im glad its over. The uncertainty of his place in NASCARs top tier is utmost on his mind. Its hard to tell whats going to happen, Blaney said of the status of Bill Davis Racings No. 22 team, which, following Homestead, laid off most of its employees. The 22 team is kind of up in the air. It doesnt have sponsorship for 2009. If it sounds like the end, thats understandable, but the door doesnt appear to have closed completely. Blaney said hed consider the second-tier Nationwide series or Craftsman [Trucks]. Id love to run Nationwide or Trucks with a really competitive team. That would be fun. If not, Ill will look at racing somewhere else. My son is having fun racing, so I could see myself going with him. Not only has the #22 team shifted into slow gear, but its gone into hibernation. Its uncertain if itll get a sponsor, Blaney said. In a media release dated Nov. 14, BDR crew chief and competition director Tommy Baldwin said there will be a full staff preparing for the start of the 2009 season. With his one-year contract with BDR expired, Blaney is officially a free agent. Im open for next year. Id stay with the 22 if Im asked back or Id look at any other options, but there arent a lot of options out there.(The Vindicator)(11-28-2008) Comment
