No Name Begins Driver Search
Lupo out after confrontations with Hanner? - Hearing Jason Lupo closed the book on his chapter with No Name after several arguments with Joshua Hanner about ACC dominance. Turns out after a devastating loss for the Alabama Crimson Tide, Lupo was in no mood for Hanner's provocations.
Update - Official No Name news releases this past week shows in fact that Jason Lupo has moved on to greener pastures. No Name issued a public press release of desperation after they could not locate a fourth driver.
Update #2 Carver Offered Spot - Hearing that Rowdy Boy driver Austin Carver was offered a multi-season spot with No Name Motorsports. Carver was promised setups and Hanner's tire cheat. Team captain Shane Mceachin a long time foe of Carver was quick to dismiss the rumors, but sources close to the team implied that No Name was ready to ink the deal.
Update #3Carver Rejects, Bowles In? - Hearing that Austin Carver has turned down the No Name offer. Sources close to the situation said that Carver could not bring himself to resort to signing with a cheating team, but was open to leaving Rowdy Boys Racing. With Carver out of the mix, all signs point to Hunter Bowles earning the spot. Bowles a once overlooked possibility shows just how desperate No Name has become to sign a fourth driver. An announcement on the signing to come next week. More news to come!

New Team Forming?
Time to Pack the Lease? - Hearing that free agent drivers Rod Lease and Doug Pack are set to team up next season. Sources inside Rod Lease's Ohio mansion reported that Rod Lease was ready to partner up with longtime free Doug Pack.
Update Two Not Enough - Sources close to the situation said that Lease and Pack were not satisfied with a two truck team and was looking to sign a third and fourth driver. No word yet on who they are targeting or a possible team name.
Update #2 Sigmon and Laventure In? Hearing that Rod and Doug are targeting Doug Sigmon and Matt Laventure for the open two slots. Sources have confirmed that the two are very interested in engaging in contract negotiations with the two and are expected to make the call very soon. If the new team can pull the signing off, they will be the expected front runners for season. More to come!

Edwards Leaves Performance?
Edwards Leaves Performance- No sources needed for this one. Sunday afternoon the Revved Up forum exploded with action. First, Daniel Michler proclaimed that he would be returning to the series. Shortly afterwards, possibly the most candid driver at Revved Up broke his exit strategy right in front of the public's eyes. Michler and Edwards signed a contract via the forum.
Update Secret Incentives- Even though the contract was brought out in public, a source close to the two parties informed me that a secret incentive was put in fine print away from the public eyes. Sources said that in exchange for signing, Michler would power long time low irating member Charles Edward's account and bring him out of the 500's and solidify him to run a full season.
Updated #2 Keiss Talks - After the exit on revved up forum, I arranged an interview with Performance team captain Ryan Keiss. Keiss confirmed that Edwards would be leaving after this season, but said it was not Edwards that made the call. Keiss explained further, "It was my call.. Charles is a good guy, but we are named Performance for a reason. We are not going to keep somebody that doesn't have much performance and just look at his irating".

NSR Moves in Different Direction?
A Different Direction? Hearing that North-South Racing is headed in a totally different direction. The four man team of Chris Walker, Hollis Vanderloon, Jeffery Foutch and Chuck Runyan is expected to go under a renovation for the new year. Sources close to the situation said that Chris Walkers Invasion of Privacy Act for the team, has members looking elsewhere.
Update Walker to Walk? Sources close to the situation informed me that team president Chris Walker is expected to resign and long time teammate Hollis Vanderloon, will fill his position as team captain. As reported earlier, Walkers Invasion of Privacy Act had many of the teams members in an uproar and threatening to leave.
Update #2 Cleaning House! Hearing that Hollis Vanderloon is following right in the footsteps of the so called last dictator Chris Walker and using all the powers at his disposal to clean house. Sources close to the Foutch camp said that Foutch has gotten the pink slip. No word on team name changes or any new Acts being passed.
Update #3 Fresh Rubber. All signs are pointing towards Paul Hahn filling one of the vacant spots at NSR. Paul, a longtime friend with Hollis Vanderloon, is expected to sign a multi-season contract with the team. Paul Hahn recently in the news after publicly pulling his support of the struggling and miserable Detroit Lions, is expected to be a legitimate threat for the upcoming championship title. Two more names are expected to be tossed around this week as a possible replacement for Chris Walker.
Update #4 Smoke Signals? Hearing that Dennis Wright aka. Smoke is expected to be the final driver for NSR next season. While sources close to the Vanderloon camp heard that Mark Bratcher was the leading candidate, the team is not quite ready to ink the massive contract that Bratcher wanted, including a waiver release to host his own reality TV show.
Edwards Leaves Performance- No sources needed for this one. Sunday afternoon the Revved Up forum exploded with action. First, Daniel Michler proclaimed that he would be returning to the series. Shortly afterwards, possibly the most candid driver at Revved Up broke his exit strategy right in front of the public's eyes. Michler and Edwards signed a contract via the forum.
Update Secret Incentives- Even though the contract was brought out in public, a source close to the two parties informed me that a secret incentive was put in fine print away from the public eyes. Sources said that in exchange for signing, Michler would power long time low irating member Charles Edward's account and bring him out of the 500's and solidify him to run a full season.
Updated #2 Keiss Talks - After the exit on revved up forum, I arranged an interview with Performance team captain Ryan Keiss. Keiss confirmed that Edwards would be leaving after this season, but said it was not Edwards that made the call. Keiss explained further, "It was my call.. Charles is a good guy, but we are named Performance for a reason. We are not going to keep somebody that doesn't have much performance and just look at his irating".

On the Wright Track
Wright and AT&T to Partner - Dennis Wright announced on his facebook page Sunday that he would be piloting the AT&T Chevy in 2014 in the Sunday Night Class A series. Wright did not announce how many races AT&T would be on board, but did release pictures of the #54 AT&T Chevy from a practice session. Wright spoke candidily about the new sponsor in a morning press conference, "Unlike other companies, there is no need for the "Can you hear me now" lingo when under AT&T service.
