Randy Humphrey’s race team won’t be at Kentucky Speedway this weekend ‘ but that’s not because the operation is shutting down. ‘We’re retooling things,’ Humphrey said Tuesday by telephone. ‘We’re just trying to find the right people. ‘¦ We have not shut down.’ The #77 car of Randy Humphrey Racing has competed in four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events this season, all with veteran driver Dave Blaney behind the wheel. The team had entered every race until this past weekend’s event on the Sonoma Raceway road course, although it ultimately withdrew from the Daytona 500, the most recent oval race at Michigan International Speedway two weeks ago, and two other events earlier this year. Humphrey said the hiatus isn’t due to funding ‘ the competition level of his #77 car simply wasn’t what he had hoped. Humphrey said he hopes to return to the track for the July 27 Crown Royal Presents the John Walding 400 at The Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ‘You will not see us at Daytona (next weekend), but I do suspect you will be seeing us at Indy forward, hopefully,’ he said. ‘That’s our plan. We have some meetings that are going on, and we’re just interviewing some people. We had to retool some people and that kind of thing to get ourselves in order here.’(NASCAR.com)(6-25-2014)
