CompetitionPlus.com has learned that Kurt Johnson will be in Pomona with renewed backing from ACDelco, but what we find interesting is the rumor we've learned from a highly placed source suggests that GM Performance Parts will serve as an associate backer. Where does that leave W.J.? Unless Pontiac, now void of any livery, ends up with sponsorship livery, he will be on the sidelines. However, multiple sources tell us not to be surprised if the Professor ends up with K&N Filters backing.
