This is the best news since the first GRC season in 2012. The first three events at New Jersey Motorsport Park were great seeds but we made real progress in 2012 and then let's say some people wanted to take it in a different direction.
We were so close. I literally met with NASCAR leaders (in the dreaded black trailer) at Kentucky Speedway; Jost Capito came to most events and even Mr. Ford had a serious chat with us. And then it blew up.
Travis is the real deal. A fantastic all round human being and he has a real passion for rallycross (and Barrie, yes we will call it rallycross!) so I am excited to see what he will do. I know Elk River in Minnesota really well as we have tested our rally cars there and it will have lots of dirt (understatement).
I will see him this weekend and if time allows will ask for his thinking.
There are plans within an organization here to have club level competition and start to build something. If Elk River does that then I am in.
Maybe this time, I can but dream!
