If it's any validation for what Joe said, I've met Jessie in person and she is sweet and truly a beautiful girl. Sometimes drivers are picked based on marketability not on overall skill (not to say Jessie isn't going to be able to drive). A hot blond driving your car is going to get you more fans lined up to your trailer (not to mention easier to get funding) than any male driver (other than the John Force).

I would bet JR joins Lucas in Troxel's ride, and wasn't Knoll looking at buying Tuttle's equipment? If he buys that out, or chooses to sponsor the team again, Jessie hops in that seat.

Alan,

I remember hearing that too. I remember at the time, it was to keep JR in the seat. I think in Pomona we'll find out a few things...

I believe that was my signature at one time...
