From RacingPR and Lynne “Snoop’s” Huntting, the same folks who bring us the WRL Vote: “Lee Morse, already the President of Irvan-Simo Racing, has a new hat to wear now also. He is running Signature Engines, the new in-house engine program for the Irvan-Simo NASCAR Craftsman Truck team. The Ford truck team owned by Ernie Irvan and Mark Simo fields Boris Said in the Truck series, and have gone in on the new engine program with Dale Phelon’s Truck team which has Bryan Reffner returning as driver. Both teams experienced frustrations with their respective engines this past season and are taking this step in hopes of remedying the situation. Signature will be housed in Mooresville, in the same complex as the Irvan-Simo team. Another change for the Irvan-Simo team will be the addition of Doug Louth as in-house chassis engineer. Louth had been with Ford SVO before leaving to work with Roush Racing.”(RacingPR)(12-16-97)
