Dude. I just told you, blacklisted means you can NEVER get back in.

Yet again, not doing Ceej's job, just trying to help him out and save him some time.

Rovenami, go away.

Team Dwyrfan Racing is willing to bid twice the highest bid of anybody else. Team Dwyrfan Racing owns the rights to the hugely popular driving sim Motorsport 2012 Season.

Lester not willing to buy WMM, but to give sponsorship to team

Casey Lester: I've heard the tough times that team's been going through and almost every time I've seen the 31 car, it's been orange and blue. No sponsors. Why not give it a change? I've decided to contact White Mountain Motorsports very soon about having PUMP Energy Drinks sponsor both Ricky Flush and C.J. Cameron. After our disaster of an ARLA Street Stocks campaign last season, we haven't found a place to sponsor PUMP. Now that these guys don't have the sponsorship to run the full year while in championship contention is a shame. These guys can really succeed if they could run the whole season. I hope they'll consider my offer.

Keniston re-buys WMM!

Following his release from the Ocean Motorsports lenard, The New England short track racer has bought back into the team that he helped found in 2008. Keniston had several falling outs with his financiers and co owners in the team which lead him to sell his interest in the team following 2009. White Mountain Motorsports has struggled to secure funding for its cars but Keniston has come to the team with full funding from Pizza Barn which was looking to get involved with either a TMMC or ARLA team for the past few months. Current Drivers Ricky Flush and CJ Cameron will remain in their full time seats with Keniston joining them for one off's and part time events. Keniston also hopes to expand to a 3rd full time team in 2012 with himself behind the wheel of the either # 131, 133 or #331 (what ever is available). Plans are for a 4th team to run part time with Chad Lyndie at the controls. Keniston has purchased all aspects of White Mountain Motorsports' ARLA, and VSCC, and any other endeavors the team currently has, and will rebrand the team as LKRacing in 2012.

"I'm very very excited for this opportunity. i have grown as a person and feel that now with a few more years under my belt i can effectively run this team and help it grow into a force in AMERICAN motorsports. Thats is what attracted me so much to come full time to ARLA. its an american series with lots of fresh young faces and old veterans of the track mixing it up each week. the cost is much lower to run here in the states then to run abroad every other week. We also will be working with British Car maker Meridian who has moved 85% of its business to the united states of america this year. As we all know the american auto market has been a tough sell in these hard times but Meridian is committed to becoming a key automobile in this country specifically."
