Back at the Mile-High Nationals July 19 in Denver, Elite Motorsports boss Richard Freeman was filling in for driver Roger Brogdon because Brogdon was skipping the three-race Western Swing in Denver, Sonoma, Calif., and Seattle because of business commitments.

Fast-forward to the U.S. Nationals this weekend, and Freeman told Competition Plus that Brogdon is no longer driving an Elite Motorsports race car..

CompetitionPlus.com reached out to Brogdon who was unavailable for comment. 

Brogdon, who is 13th in the points standings, competed in seven races this season, his last being at Norwalk, Ohio, June 21-23. Brogdon had a 3-7 record in elimination rounds. His best race was a semifinal loss to Bo Butner at the Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla., March 17.

The entry Brogdon is racing this weekend was the one Brogdon was to fill this weekend. 

“I’m just running it for fun,” said Freeman, who qualified No. 1 at the Mile-High Nationals. “I think our team is going to peak at the right time. Erica (Ender’s) car is really good right now and Jeg (Coughlin) is going to be OK and Alex (Laughlin) is really good. We just have to do our job. If we can do what we have to do here (in Indy) and go into the (six-race) Countdown into the Top 5, it is anybody’s game, it is so tight. I may run a few (races in the Countdown). I will just see where we are at.”
