Who will drive for Haas CNC in 2008?
When it comes to who’ll be in what Haas CNC Racing cars in 2008, nobody seems to know much of anything. Joe Custer, the team’s general manager, plays his cards close to the vest. Very, very close. Johnny Sauter, driver of the organization’s #70 entry, says that he doesn’t have a clue what he’ll be doing next year, but adds that he’s been given permission to look elsewhere. Jeff Green, who steers its #66 Chevy, refuses altogether to comment on the situation. With Scott Riggs already signed for next year and two Haas cars available, there’s considerable speculation as to which one he’ll drive and whether it’ll be Green or Sauter who’s left out of the mix. Then again, names other than Riggs’ [including Mayfield and Stremme] have been mentioned as joining the operation. If that happens, Green and Sauter would most likely both be gone. According to Custer, neither driver has a decided advantage at this stage of the game.
