Roush returning to trucks? Rave as driver?

Been hearing unconfirmed rumors for some time that Roush Fenway Racing would be returning to the Truck Series. On a recent news broadcast from local La Crosse, Wisconsin TV station WKBT it was reported that Troy Rave, a Black River Falls native and Ho-Chunk Nation tribal member, recently crowned the 2010 Kwik Trip Late Model Rookie of the Year, at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway, had signed a one-year deal with Roush Fenway Racing to drive in the Camping World Truck Series. Troy Rave recently posted the following on 4Racers.com [search Troy Rave] to clarify: “Just to get everyone caught up on whats going on. Rumors have been going around and I just want to clear things up. Yes Roush-Fenway has contacted me and my father about running trucks in 2011. Several proposals have been put on the table by Roush concerning what i’ll be running in 2011. Trucks are being discussed and so is ARCA. NOTHING has been signed yet as far as contracts are concerned. We are still only in negotiation phase with our major sponsor Roush and myself. Roush will be here on Monday, and come monday or tuesday night we willl have a better understanding and more accurate information for you all!”(12-26-2010)
