Post what you think will be happening this off season in the National Sprint Car scene! Who's moving up, who's moving on, and who's staying put?
Will Sheldon Haud be in play this offseason? Will Parker Price Miller be tapped on the shoulder for a major ride? Any All Stars going in a different direction?
Give us your thoughts on any drivers and what you expect this off season here!

Just saw in an article from PennLive.com, that Greg Hodnett is possibly going to be doing a little more traveling next season into Ohio, and possibly Knoxville for the 360 Nationals before the 410 Nationals according to car owner Mike Heffner.

Would be cool if that happened with Hodnett. No doubt that you can't go wrong with points racing in Central PA, but it keeps you from a lot of other prestigious events in the region.

With his traveling background as being part of the World of Outlaws at one point, and how good he is, I always thought that Hodnett would fare well during Ohio Speedweek if he were to run part of that much like Danny Dietrich and Brent Marks do.

I also read that Craig Dollansky and the 2KS team have split

Sucks for Dollansky, but at the same time I have to ask how surprising is it really.... Hope he lands on his feet somewhere and am pretty sure he will.

Dollansky could maybe run for Wood racing in the 17W? I don't know anything about it but just throwing it out there since Madsen/Golobic drove it in the general area.

I think Dollansky would be a good fit in the Matt Wood 17w car

Anybody think that Larson Marks adds a second car for the next season in WoO?

Not sure about that, but I wouldn't call it out of the realm of possibility. Lemme ask you all one question. What happens to Paul McMahan? He can't be happy in his current surroundings, where's a good fit for him?

Honestly I think the best fit for McMahan may be in Central Pennsylvania. Would love to see him full-time in the Highlands ride.

That's a good question with McMahan. I don't see him sticking around. I think if Destiny was impressed with PPM they'll probably have him take over for the following season.

You could be right, but for some reason I have a feeling there may be a few teams in the Parker Price Miller derby this off season. Time will tell.
More news. Brian Sebetto has just announced his retirement.

Oh yeah, speaking of retirements. Caleb Griffith of Castalia, OH went into a "soft" retirement, or a sabbatical if you will, from sprint car racing. Has raced FAST series a few years but had a very rough season this year. I believe he has one career all star win.

Kinds sucks for Griffith, enjoy seeing him when we're out that way or he comes towards us. Definitely lost some depth with him and Sebetto doing less or no racing in 2017. Of course ya have to take every retirement with a grain of salt, racing is very hard to shake... Maybe worse than drugs.
