A story I missed, I included in part from iRace by Steve Smith when he interviewed Tim Steele last week: Tim Steele is a very hot commodity. This week, he is meeting with at least four Winston Cup team owners, “and they’re coming to Michigan to see me,” Steele says. He does not plan to make any hasty decisions, though. One more option: Going Winston Cup racing with his own team. A professional football player — a very well-known football player — has been talking to Steele about building a Cup team together. It’s known, and entirely understandable, that Ford would like to continue its association with Steele, so expect his plans to include the blue oval. Steele says he does plan to run at least a few Winston Cup races this year, then run the entire season next year. It’s possible the Toledo race was his last appearance in an ARCA car, but his team seemed confident they’d be at the next race at Pike’s Peak, and ARCA has received an entry from Steele. See the rest of the story at iRace: Tim Steele: ‘It came back to me so quickly’, excellent story, great comeback.
