This is a very easy answer that even I can handle.
He will select the driver with the best Major-Long-Term sponsorship in hand.

Head had been 'interviewing' drivers for atleast ten years. Its simple to qualify...have alot of experience...bring a boatload of money...and understand his personality.

There was a thread a couple weeks ago.

Wasn't the magic $$$ # - $750,000./year? (I could be mis-remembering??)

I don't think Jim would go with a total unknown but, seems to me, that would be the cheapest ride (and most WONDERFUL marketing opportunity) in motorsports.

Go for it Erica!

Re: Head looking for a driver?

I was just wondering if any of the drivers out there not currently driving (ie Burkhart, Skuza) could maybe come back.... I know I don't pass the NHRA credit check! LOL
