Blaney ponders options:

Dave Blaney intends to be around NASCAR s top three series next season. He just doesn t know in what capacity. He might be driving again or just watching his son Ryan, who will again race for Brad Keselowski Racing in the NASCAR Truck Series and is expected to see action in the Nationwide Series as a Roger Penske development driver. Right now. the only racing Dave Blaney is assured of doing will be behind the wheel of his sprint cars, after being knocked out of his Sprint Cup ride at Tommy Baldwin Racing in favor of Nationwide driver Michael Annett, who is bringing sponsorship. That s the way things go, Dave Blaney said. I want to be out with Ryan, watching him race, and I ll be doing that a lot no matter what. And if nothing else comes along, I ll run the sprint car whenever I can. And while he will happy just to be the track watching Ryan race, the elder Blaney isn t ready to let the book close on his Cup career after being on the circuit for the past 14 years. I ve been talking to a couple of the other smaller teams, Dave Blaney said. I want to still do it if I have the opportunity. I m going to be out there at the track with Ryan and if I get something going that would be great. He would also be interested in racing in either the Nationwide Series or NASCAR Truck Series.( High Point Enterprise )
