From what we are told, some rumblings will come to light very soon in the Pro Stock community. Former Pro Modified racer Eric Latino is headed into Pro Stock competition next season. Latino is the owner of the Titan Race Engines brand. Now here's the real twist, if the rumors floating around Maple Grove Raceway prove to have substance, will there be a connection or alliance to Greg Anderson and the KB Racing brand as well?

Word has it Jegs Mail Order has opted out of Pro Stock for 2023, sending Troy Coughlin Jr., looking for new sponsorship. Greenbriar Equity Group, a middle-market private equity firm, acquired a majority position in JEGS Automotive, back in February of this year. With this development, one has to wonder if the Jegs All-Stars program could be on the chopping block since it was the brainchild of Scott Woodruff, who left the company back in July.

Word has it the NHRA will release its 21-race schedule soon. In it will be a few surprises. The most significant surprise (or maybe not) will be the return of Route 66 Raceway with a June date. The Thunder Valley Nationals will reportedly move off its Father's Day weekend. We are told the Western Swing will return to its traditional routine of Denver to Seattle to Sonoma. Unfortunately, the Virginia Motorsports Park date will fall off of the schedule.

At this moment, it isn't a return to their former championship-winning stomping grounds. We hear Jason Line will likely be racing at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in one of the marquee sportsman showcase events. Apparently, he's racing in a Super Stock/AH entry. Line does have significant ties to the division, so this isn't exactly an unbelievable rumor.

One of the more interesting rumors floating around Sonoma Raceway has been a pending sale of Don Schumacher Racing's fuel operation. We are told the sale could be finalized today with one of the entities already involved with the team. If this deal is secured, Tony Schumacher will remain as the team's driver. The rumor gained more legs when it was mentioned on the Fox Broadcast on Sunday.
