P.J. Jones to ARCA?

In addition to the cast of ARCA RE/MAX Series regulars and a brand new crop of rookies, several well known racing personalities were seen in the ARCA garage during the [Daytona] test, including PJ Jones. Jones, a veteran of NASCAR and the IndyCar Series, is the son of open wheel racing legend and 1963 Indy 500 winner Parnelli Jones. So just what was Jones doing in Daytona, testing the #37 Spraker Racing Chevy? "PJ and I go way back, and we're trying to put a deal together for him to run here in '09," stated Jeff Spraker, the team owner. "It's interesting. I've been out trying to put some sponsorship together for next year, and one of the companies I talked to was looking for a way to make a little more impact. When I mentioned the possibility of PJ, they said ‘Parnelli's kid?' I said yes, and we agreed to continue to talk."(ARCARacing.com)

Hope he gets a shot.

I always wished Robby would put him in a 2nd car for one of the road races.

He was supposed to at Infineon (Sears Point to me still) in 2005. Since the team had trouble just making races at that point, RG decided it was in his best interest to concentrate on one entry. I believe they pulled the entry the week of.
