Dewayne Custer added as Driver of Second Roy Hill Cobra Jet

[Walker4108]

Two Roy Hill / Phoenix Racing Super Stock Ford Cobra Jets owned by James Finch will hit Royal Purple Raceway this weekend; Hill will pilot the solid red Coca-Cola / Alsco entry he debuted in Charlotte, while Baytown native and longtime sportsman racer Dewayne Custer will drive the red, white, and blue Cobra Jet that carried Hill to the US Nationals class winner’s circle last year.

How many $$$$$$ did Roy charge for this deal???? Had heard wanted $275,000 for the year but never heard how many Races the was.

Ralph I dont know about money but if I were going to get a driver for car 2 out of Div 4 it would have been one of the Emmons Boys or Kevin Helms.

You can buy one and race it much cheaper. That sounds inflated.

I don't know this as fact, but I highly doubt Dewayne is spending his money on this. He probably is doing some work on a car as trade. If you read the article, you would see why he might be getting a chance to drive the extra car this weekend. Dewayne is a good guy and can drive a car as well as build one. He might not have the Emmons or Helms name, but he sure has turned on a bunch of win lights in the last couple years.

$100,000 + for car
$70,000 for Dually and trailer
$20,000 for support equipment
Thats $190,000 Then you got to get it there time, fuel, exp.
What if you brake something?
$275,000 is more than most of us will spend over a lifetime but ?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

“I’m really looking forward to putting Dewayne in the car this weekend and seeing what he can do,” said Hill. “We want to see him go rounds, and when you go rounds you win races, which is exactly what we want to do for all of the sponsors we’re bringing on board this weekend.”

No pressure Dewayne!! Good luck

[Ed Wright]

Yep, what Hagen said. Good luck Dewayne!!

So it has come to buying rides in S/SS just like Pro Stock, Top Fuel, USAC, WOO, NASCAR, etc. Whoda thunk?
Edit: did not mean to imply Dewayne had to buy a ride. Just that somebody was "shopping a S/SS ride". No reflection on Dewayne. Hope he wins that sucker!
