    I saw on the Comp plus rumors that a TAD driver may be possibly joining KK's Pro Stock team? Any ideas who that may be?

    The way I read is that KK will debut a TAD team at Gainesville next year. That seems a little different from the norm. He might be taking a young talent and “new face” and developing them himself instead of throwing them straight into the hot seat like Hight and Medlen. What do you think Happ?

    p/s

    i would think it would be more towards a second pro stock car. koretsky recently sold his top fuel operation to evan knoll, so it's unlikely he's developing for the fuel ranks.

    i know billy gibson is going p/s...he was going to be a part of the duce staley team with jim yates, but i haven't heard his name lately. maybe him?

    from what i understand, koretsky is teaming with the indicom team. seperate ownership, but shared info. so another car would be a 'second' car. from what i gathered at pri, northrop won't be driving for koretsky this year, thus leaving a seat open.

    That makes sense. But why a TAD driver, seems like a Comp or Bracket driver would be more suitable for the situation. Maybe an inside deal or a money issue I’m sure of.

    Word that I got at PRI that this might have a Big O Tires connection.

    There is some information on this deal in Geiger's column on the NHRA.com website.
