Alan Johnson and Mike Romano to team with Jake Spraker/Jimmy Phelps news

Jake Spraker isn't quite done yet. Spraker will field a big block #1J for Alan Johnson at Utica Rome's RoC Richie Evans Memorial this coming Wednesday, July 23rd. It's also worth nothing that Alan Johnson has a special one-of-a-kind brand new Teo from Randy Sherlock's race team that will debut July 31st at Orange County. Sherlock shook the car down this past Saturday.

However, the bigger news out of the Spraker camp is that Mike Romano will be coming out of retirement on August 5th for the Fonda NMX Series race as the fan favorite will strap himself behind the wheel of the Spraker 1J for his last drive ever in a modified.

Jimmy Phelps will run 2 races in Australia this winter driving for an Australian Troyer dealer. Last year Gary Tomkins ran down there and had great success. The races will be in late January.
