Who will Melanie Troxel drive for in '07?

#1 10-20-2006, 03:36 PM

As far as I know she doesn't have a ride yet. Her contract with Shoe ends this year.

Weelllll... If'n we take Evan Knoll at his word we at least know that she will drive for HIM. I guess the question will be is it in HIS car or someone elses with Torco as a sponsor. Definitely one of the drivers I am most interested in seeing how it shakes out.

if im a betting man id say shed be the 2nd car on the morgan lucas team.

From what I have read and heard Mel's car will be a team car to Morgan Lucas' car.

I agree with Jeff and Paul

If that does happen, hopefully she will get a decent crew chief with her, that can set Morgans car straight also. That thing has had a 800' fuse all year, but that's a different subject.

I'd hate to she her leave shoe's team but If she does how do I get that ride?

#7 10-20-2006, 04:09 PM

She may very well be on the Lucas/Skullgear team, but she hasn't been signed yet....

Maybe I missed something?
If she leaves and DSR has no more PS plus one or two less FC it must be getting lonely over their at DSR.
For sure Don would have less laundry to do on monday

I would bet that Hogan would be the guy. I don't think Don will retain a entire crew if he didn't have a sponsor for that team he might want to obtain Hogan but in what roll I have no idea maybe Co-Crew Chief or he could follow the money and call the shots.

If I was a betting man I would choose the later.
Only time will tell as of right now its pure speculation.

This thread might shed some light on the situation :Knoll and Lucas team up

#11 10-20-2006, 04:44 PM

Here is the thread were Evan Knoll stated that Melanie will be driving for him next year.

Melanie out of a ride?

#12 10-20-2006, 04:47 PM

And here is the thread were Evan Knoll stated his feelings about Don's switch from Lucas Oil Products to Valvoline which probably played a role into why he will team up with the Lucas camp!

Don't mess with Evan Knoll!

seems the lucas deal has been mentioned lately,
but if i was a foolish betting man, i'd remember DPR's
retention of melanie last year and the possibility
of a husband/wife fuel team.

I think if Morgan and Melanie teamed up for 2007,it could be a win win situation for both parties.And if Hogan goes with her thats even better!
