    Just like countryman "Jos the Boss", Bobby D "Rob the Knob" and his mates keep sprouting false information.

    To date, they have not delivered the money they promised...so unless the check comes in later today, there will be no announcement.

    I choked on my coffee when I read this..nice job.

    I have sine heard that this deal is "thisclose" to being done. There are now plans in place for the team to make the annoucement in regards to this year.

    Bobby D should be at the test at Homestead, and should do well with the team.

    The Dornbos deal is probably OFF

    I do not want to spoil premium material from AR1 but it is being reported elsewhere too that the deal may be OFF. Sponsorship issues surrounding ING and Harry Muermanns have arisen. Possibly NHL racing lost another sponsor and upped the funds required. Either way the rumor is no longer strong but "Speculation" at best.

    Once again, they got the driver's manager Louis Varossieau to talk. Through the magic of Google Translate, he states:
    "The contract is also not yet signed, but within three weeks, we will announce what Robert will do this season."
    This can mean a couple of things. For one, perhaps Doornbos' relationship with big banker ING may not be yielding as much sponsorship money for him due to the world financial crisis.

    Thank you!

    My question is this- If a third car is going to be financed with "Duno Dollars", and Doornbos is bringing nothing (so it seems at this time), why not just keep Wilson, (a driver they have a year of experience with) in the car?
