It's like 3 or 4 am in the UK, so I'll post the topic on Ben's behalf.

- Cassandra Collins to Sign With Tom Delgado Racing for 2015 & Beyond
The only two people who knew about Tom Delgado's visit to Rockingham for the Dash Cup Rockingham GP were Tom Delgado himself, and the person he was intent on signing: Cassandra Collins.
After Collins' dismal day on the track, her mood seemed to be more upbeat after spending several hours talking with Delgado behind closed doors at a nearby hotel. There, they completed the details of an initial two year contract which will see Collins drive for Tom Delgado Racing in the FARC Elite Series in 2015. What is unclear is if it'll be as part of a 3rd full time team, or at the expense of a current driver.
"I am ecstatic to have completed this deal. I've long been an admirer of Cassie's driving abilities, and with the success of her sister Lonnie, I can see that it definitely runs in the family. Cassie is one of Europe's best, and I cannot wait to show her off to the American race fans in the FARC Elite Series. Today is another banner day in the development of Tom Delgado Racing into a worldwide powerhouse, and I'm so delighted that Cassie has decided to come along for the ride" Delgado said in a statement to the British press.
This swoop for Tom Delgado Racing cannot possibly sit well with her current employers, Team Quik Fit, or Atlantic Motorsports, who were attempting to sign her as well.

Rogers: Reverse grid format "ridiculous"
What Kellan Rogers hoped would be a productive race weekend didn't turn out as she hoped.
Yes, Rogers notched her third podium of the season with a strong third-place run in Race 1. But as has happened too many times in the final race of the weekend, shenanigans involving other drivers left Rogers outside the points in Race 2.
Rogers' DNF marked the fourth time this season she has failed to score points - three of which came in reverse grid events.
"This reverse grid thing is ridiculous," Rogers said after her retirement. "The backmarkers are backmarkers for a reason. They don't belong in the front of the field causing trouble for the leaders. Especially those that are trying to win a championship. I just don't understand it."

Percy critical on Macintosh over race 2 crash
Hannah Percy was left less than impressed after losing a strong points lead following an unsuccessful weekend at Rockingham. Percy was involved in an accident with husband-to-be Ben Atkins in race 1, when Percy t-boned Atkins, but both were okay, despite DNFing. However, Percy was left much more frustrated after race 2, when she was wrecked on a restart by Team Kwik Fit driver Grant Macintosh.
"I don't get why he's in a ride." said Percy, bluntly. "He's had one good run at Oulton Park and suddenly he's good enough to be with Team Kwik Fit. I'm sure he's just frustrated because the Collins sisters are making him look stupid by winning and being up there in the points and he's not even good enough to be top 20 in points. It must be degrading having a 17 year old be a better driver than you."
Percy is still 3rd in points, and Atlantic teammate Kellan Rogers is just as impressive as Percy, despite being two places down Percy, and Kellan was also caught up in the accident that Percy and Macintosh were in. However, Rogers was taken out of the race and Percy had some words about Rogers too.
"Kellan's a really good teammate and a really good friend. I'm glad she's around. I could see the championship coming down to maybe me and her. She's a damn good driver, and I know she'll advance through the ranks and be one of the best."
Natalie Kendall's good weekend topped off with Atlantic Motorsports contract
After scoring a solid 2nd and 8th in the Rockingham race, Natalie Kendall was made even happier when Atlantic Motorsports offered her a two-year contract, with team owner William Atkins saying that Kendall was "owed this one" after complications left her out of a ride at the same team in 2010.
