2008 - What Does the Future Hold?

[Sput]

This past week, while at the Grand American Road Racing tire tests at Daytona Speedway (2008 will see Pirelli tires), I spoke with Michelle Flis regarding the status of the two Infiniti cars. The cars are currently at the Flis Motorsports / Spirit of Daytona facility in Ormond Beach, where they have been kept since their last appearance.

The possibility to run these cars still exists. As is common in motorsports, the team (HLM) needs an influx of money, either sponorship or new / additional ownership. They are very good cars, and were underperformers due more to the Menard motors than anything else. I also spoke with Joey Hand who drove them, and he spoke very highly of the cars.

If only we can get someone to come on board, these cars can be ready to run in a very short period of time. Unfortuantely, I don't see Nissan / Infiniti USA caring much about their USA road racing efforts anymore.
