Hearing Ricky Craven has signed with the #50 Midwest Transit Winston Cup Chevy , makes sense if true since he and the new #50 crew chief, John Monsam, have worked together in the past — UPDATE 1: Ricky Craven, released this week by car owner Scott Barbour(#58) and replaced by Loy Allen, didn’t have to look long for a new ride. Craven was approached by Joe Falk(#91) but is now expected to be in Ted Milner’s and Hal Hicks’ Midwest Transit #50 car next week at Pocono( PitNow ) — UPDATE 2: BTW: the owners are Mike Witters and Hal Hicks, not Ted Milner. I hear they will NOT go to Pocono, checking on this further. TNN’s Raceday also reported that the team would go to Pocono next week — UPDATE 3: Sources tell me that the #50 team has NOT spoke to Ricky Craven about the ride….yet. As for Pocono, the team is not scheduled to race there and has not sent in the NASCAR Entry Form for the race. They hope to announce a driver within the next week — UPDATE 4: From NOL – Lake Speed, general manager of the #50 Midwest Transit Racing team, is still in search of a driver to fill the position vacated when Dan Pardus was released from his driving responsibilities in May. Although Speed failed to specify the exact number of possible replacements for Pardus, he didn’t shy away from a notion that Ricky Craven will likely be among those in consideration, see complete NOL story at Speed moving slowly with Midwest reorganization
