As of right now I would have to say that at least 75% of the roster from 2009 will be in place for 2010.

Date: Mon Oct 12 12:15:36 2009

silk in 59

Date: Mon Oct 12 13:37:32 2009

Ryan Preece 1n the 46

Date: Mon Oct 12 16:19:50 2009

Donnie Nall in the 97

Date: Mon Oct 12 17:42:54 2009

TC will probably be in the 13 equipment, if its bought by a southern based team, and be part of a 2 car team.

97? which car is that?
and who is Donnie Nall?

Date: Mon Oct 12 18:39:07 2009

Preece in the 46 pleeze why would he leave the 3? To go from one of the top teams to one that has never won a tour raceI don't think so.I know the 3 guys,yes the ones that actually work on the cars would be glad to have Ryan backand I haven't heard that he is going anywhere.As far as the 46 Beers probably won.t be there he hasn't been happy for a long time.

Date: Mon Oct 12 19:22:35 2009

The 3 deal is completly funded by Jeff Preece.
The whole nut.
Tires, gas pit passes paid employee everything.
Thats why the 46.
He's in that ride for free.

Date: Mon Oct 12 21:26:17 2009

Donnie Nall could out run TC he is so good! I have also heard he is in the Hill's 2nd car #97 for next year (full time).

Date: Tue Oct 13 06:52:03 2009

Preece in the #46 ???? If he does, he's crazy. Even if the ride is free, that car does not come close to running top notch. No matter who drives it. JMHO.

Date: Tue Oct 13 08:46:36 2009

Jeff Preece does contribute alot but it is far from the whole nut.Renolds auto brings a P/T motor whats that worth ? Big John also brings another motor whats that worth?.He doesn,t pay for gas either that comes from sunoco BRE happens to be a distributor of their fuels,Mizzy construction who knows ,Davidson construction who knows .Just remember Preece tried running his own team spent a lot of his own money and had limited success its still cost him less with BRE and it looks to me that whatever he spent it was money well spent.Full nut no way.After all Lias daddy bought the 4 ride for a rumored 250 K now thats a full nut.Lets just hope the weathers good on Sunday so we can finally settle the championship and the greatest points battle in all of Nascar in the greatest series in Nascar.

Ok some interesting RUMORS for sure.

Silk to the #59 I'd say has a good chance.
Preece to the #46 I'd say unlikely.
TC to some RUMORED #13 team. I'd say almost definitely NOT.
And who s this Nall driver??? going to a second Hillbilly entry probably not.

Date: Tue Oct 13 16:13:31 2009

What about TC in the 79?

Date: Tue Oct 13 16:45:13 2009

People really need to watch what they say if they dont know what they are talking about. The 46 is a family run team that works there ass off to run each tour race they work on the car I know that for a fact so I would have the facts before you say ****.. The 46 ride is NOT free money is coming in from the driver and who are you to say that stuff if you have no contact with the team do not say anything. Yes the 46 team has not won a tour race but they have a chance just like Preece or Lia.. As far has Beers not being happy with the ride that is not true at all because he is really happy with the ride. If he was to leave it would not be becouse he was not happy becouse it was time for a change. If Preece saw this or even the Owner of the 46 would not be to happy so people really need to watch what they saw becouse I know for a fact that all the **** that you guys as saying about the 3 and the 46 team is NOTY TRUE!!! Preece and Beers and even the car owner of the 46 are all great friends and I know they would be hurt to see this stuff and I am going to pass it on they them so I am saking you all that it is pkay to talk but do not post stuff if you dont know the truth... Thanks AMK.

Date: Tue Oct 13 16:46:57 2009

Eric Beers to the 46 not sure
Ryan Preece to the 46 or 3 not sure
So lets just see do not make struff up okay

Date: Tue Oct 13 17:06:26 2009

Okay you tell me would it be crazy for Ryan Preece to go to the 46???? No it would not be I would be really happy to see him there also Happy for beers to stay there they both would work really well with the car owner. if you all take a look back to when Beers was in the 3 they did not have a good year or how about Marquis well not the best year but they drove there ass off.. Hello People it is not all $$$$$$$ thats make a year it is the hard work of a team, owner and the drive and luck and who is left at the end of the race dam if you really look beers is always there at the end.. Man Wade Cole would win a dam tour race if luck was just stay with him :)... Hey if you all that look at this site think that it is all money that make a tour team I think that you all should come to Mass and take a look at the 46,3and52.. See the love and the heart that they all have for the sport of racing and I think than you will have another reason to right somthing that is better than what you had before..

Wright the truth PLEASE not somthing that is half ass and is just not right that is all I am asking??? Thanks

Date: Tue Oct 13 17:21:24 2009

People really need to watch what they say if they dont know what they are talking about. The 46 is a family run team that works there ass off to run each tour race they work on the car I know that for a fact so I would have the facts before you say ****..If any one on the tour needs anything you can go to Bob Katon and he will be the first one to help you and he will give you all the respect and not kick you in the ass. The 46 ride is NOT free money is coming in from the driver and who are you to say that stuff if you have no contact with the team do not say anything. Yes the 46 team has not won a tour race but they have a chance just like Preece or Lia.. As far has Beers not being happy with the ride that is not true at all because he is really happy with the ride.

Thanks AMK.

PS.. Man the Preece Family is not getting a great name They are all great friends of mine so really STOP and Say good stuff not 1/2 ass ****. Jeff Preece is a great person and he will do his best for his son so he can race so please lets not make stuff up.

Date: Tue Oct 13 20:04:42 2009

TC would be a great opition for the Hill's. I mean he has won for them many times! that would be a great opition.

TRE

Date: Tue Oct 13 20:40:17 2009

TC and David would be great together.Roger would get his championship.

Date: Tue Oct 13 20:58:17 2009

Three cheers for the guy who said come to mass, and see how its done .The truth is the Catons and the 46 team are as good a friend as you can ever have.the 52 and john Mac Wayne Darling are the same.Greg Scott and the rest of the 3 gang work a lot closer together than alot of people realize.Yhe Preeces a really an awesome fit with any of them.It is really sad to see any of them catching crab from people that really don,t have all the facts of what really goes on with any of these teams . yawn

Date: Tue Oct 13 21:51:49 2009

First of all this is a totally false statement ..the Preece familey big John and all the great sponsors has helped greatly in the BRE season thats for sure .Its a total team effort ...but they are true "grass roots team and the deff of modified racing is ole blue .. The Car chief & Crew cheif and hand full of volunteers build EVERYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING .please tell me one other team that has built thier chassis from a plie of metal besides the troyer team car . IM talking everything but the roof ..spindles body panels inside and out all the mounts all the bolts (mostly from fosters hardware in freetown )everything .. long hours and a beer or two once in a while ..they have thier own surface plate and fix everything every time it gets bent .... the panels and chassis (that was built from scratch by gregg and scott ) are painted in a garage outside of a relatives house on a borrowed rotisserie ... please before you go making foolish comment take a tour of the Boehler racing fab shop its out of a two car garage and old chicken coupes attached to Janices house ...alll the TRUE big buck teams should bow thier heads in shame everytime they get beat and it happens often ... Lenny would be proud and I know hes smiling looking down on us
THOSE BOYS ARE REAL RACERS And you need to learn some respect

openwheelracer · Admin/Mod/Eyewitness

Ok folks let's keep it on topic which is predictions of who you think might end up where in 2010, not negative opinions of what you think of certain teams.

I will add for the record, I really dont feel in my opinion anyone attacked the #3 or #52 Teams, but I don't think the negative comments that were posted about the #46 Team were necessary.

So let's keep the thread on track.......

Thank's, OWR.

Date: Wed Oct 14 07:56:52 2009

Eric Beers never won on the tour UNTIL he drove for BRE and had his BEST years of his tour career with the 3 and Jerry Marques was very very successful with the 3.. Were you watching the same races... please before you clowns go making stupid statements check the stats ...BRE has won a race every year but one or two in its 52 years and has always been a front runner ALWAYS disbelief

Date: Wed Oct 14 08:04:08 2009

O and how could I forget they fabricate the nerf bars , bumpers ,Fuel cell's, built the tool cart , tire carts,Gear shifter EVERYTHING Lenny built the hauler out of a old moving truck that is still in service if they need Preece lets them use his a bit more practical they are racers to the true definition of the word

Annons opening statement was a bit confusing Ithink he meant to say that the staement is true instead of this statent is false .Wel thats an honest mistake,Ihave to give him credit because he nailed it.I have been their and have seen it with my own eyes.That my friends you can take to the bank!

Date: Wed Oct 14 10:37:24 2009

yes I quoted a earlier statement saying the statement that its all funded big buck team was false ....I just forgot to add stuff

WhelenModifiedTour · WMT Moderator

One thing I think we might see is John McKennedy in the Art Barry #21 FULL-TIME for 2010.

Date: Thu Oct 15 08:55:15 2009

SILK TO BE THE NEW DRIVER OF THE 2 CAR AND CHUCH HOSSFIELD GOING TO THE 59 CAR

Date: Thu Oct 15 10:36:19 2009

if there is going to be a new driver in the 59 what is erick doing that you think that the 59 ride is open?

Date: Thu Oct 15 12:03:36 2009

I was the one that said come to Mass and take a look at the teams that work day in and day out.. All 3 of those teams are great people and I think that they all work really close together they all would do anything to help anyone.. Fist off I wanted to thank the people that said nice stuff about the 46 team and the 3 team.. smile

I do think that Ryan would be a great fit with the 46 team but who are we to say that.. person that make that is Preece and the 2 car owners.. Okay on another note Eric Beers had a great year with the 3 car and I know that he got his frist when on the tour with the BRE team at Seekonk Speedway I was there with Mrs. B great run for that hole team it was a good year.. The same with Jerry Marquis he won a race at Riverhead and Stafford I was there for both please do not say that I was making stats who are you to say that?? disbelief All I was saying is that may not have had a best year but to me when you finish off the year with a smile on your face and the driver is okay and the team is happy you had a great year.. You really need to read more into what I was saying not just pick out the bad stuff..

I would like to say Hats off to the person that made that great comment out the day in the life of the 3 team lol.. Man you have not seen it all until you come to Mass and take a tour of the 3 shop :) what a great and really cool place.. All I am saying is that people watch what they say b4 you make mean and half ass comments about the Katon Family 46 or 3 Boehler Family also the 52 of Darling Teams.. Thanks you all Have a great Day

PS.. Thank You to OWR. for sticking up for the 46 team smile

Date: Thu Oct 15 12:10:59 2009

Do you guys think that ride are opening

46??
3??
59??
52??

46 - Preece, Beers, Hossfield
3 - Preece, Beers,
59 - Slick or Erick
52 -Stay the same

Date: Thu Oct 15 12:26:57 2009

Silk in the 2 car would be a big mistake for that team.Todd has more talent than Silk will ever have. JMO

WhelenModifiedTour · WMT Moderator

I am thinking that Silk will be in a team-car to the #2 simillar to what Pallai did with the #39 this season but on a Full-Time basis.

Date: Thu Oct 15 12:34:47 2009

ERIC IS GOING TO DRIVE THE TROYER HOUSE MOD WITH TOMMY BALDWIN. I AGREE THAT TOOD IS BETTER IN THE 2 CAR

WhelenModifiedTour · WMT Moderator

A BIG question I have is WHY WOULD TC LEAVE THE #36 ????????? And if he does who would get that ride ????

Date: Thu Oct 15 13:12:14 2009

Preece to 36 if TC left.

WhelenModifiedTour · WMT Moderator

I could see Erick Rudolph going to the Troyer House Car, BUT not with Baldwin. Unless I am missing something(which is quite possible) Tommy still owns his own NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Team. It would be nearly impossible for him to crew chief a NASCAR whelen Modified Tour Team.

I could see Ryan going to the #36, BUT really do not understand why he would leave the #3.

And where is Civalli going if TC is going to the #79????

WhelenModifiedTour · WMT Moderator

Oh, I think I found out who Donnie Nall is.

Seems to be one hell of a W.K.A. Go-Kart racer. So who knows maybe he really is trying to join the Tour. A second Hillbilly entry FULL-TIME on the Tour would be nice.

Date: Thu Oct 15 14:11:36 2009

i could see hossfield in the 59 cause he has is own car also. ed bennett only likes to do half the tour so that would work out good for both chuck and ed. They both have troyer cars,both have crew guys!

Date: Thu Oct 15 15:32:43 2009

breaking news just in. showtime jimmy blewett is going to be a teammate to rowan pennick next year. the annoucement will come in the next couple days. stay tuned

rach70 · Crew Member

It's on Tommy Baldwins website that he has teamed up with Al Heinke. They will run the full Dirt series with Jimmy Phelps and some with Eric Rudolph. Also select Whelen tour races.

Date: Thu Oct 15 18:56:37 2009

Who thinks TC will be in the Hill's #79 next year? I would love to see it happen.

No TC in the 79.
It's Civali's ride if he wants it.
And so far he hasn't said he wants it.
He also has other irons in the fire

Date: Fri Oct 16 13:52:30 2009

I think TC should get that ride.

Allright, as OpenWheelRacer has said earlier, LET'S KEEP THIS TOPIC ON TRACK. I have deleted a post allready and will delete any other I find TASTELESS. There are no "FOOLS" here. The Annon that posted it knows who I am directing this towards. As always it is an Annon that starts trouble.

Date: Fri Oct 16 20:08:49 2009

well people making false staments with absolutly NO evidence is foolish wouldent you agree... I just herd Rowdy bush is going to run quadruple duty and run a team car to Woody Pitcat ...crazy and a foolish statment but whats the difference its the same as what people are writing just throwing names ..here's a idea why dont you start a topic that means something for ONCE

Date: Fri Oct 16 22:47:44 2009

why does everyone take so much offense to this? Its people sturing trouble or saying drivers that they "want" to see in there favorite cars. Everyone needs to "CooL" there Jets. Its a forum. Something to express your opinion. Everyone has a right for one. So cool the jets.

WhelenModifiedTour · WMT Moderator

Annon this topic did START AS A SENSIBLE TOPIC. The original topic was WHO WILL BE IN WHAT CAR FOR 2010. Granted there have been STRANGE posts, BUT that is what makes "Silly Season" what it is. I suggest that if you do not like what is being posted here...... DON'T READ IT!!!
