Just saw he's out of Suppa's car ans they've got "exciting plans" so stay tuned. Surprised they ever went with him in the first place. Although he's got the best nickname of all time.

Surprised, as he has been having a pretty decent season in the Suppa # 4s car. A win and five top threes, with two thirds in extra purse races.

He is the one who choose to part ways.

He's actually gotten better as they've gone along. Judging from hess's interview about their split I don't think there's a lot of help within that operation. Dave and his dad did a lot and provided the engines so they said if we so this much why not run our own car, Maybe Eck felt the same.

Also, wonder how much longer they'll let Proper run the crate. There's a family connection there so i'm not sure if they'll part but he's struggling to adapt to that style of driving. One would think that if he was going to get it, he would've shown some progress by now. He drives the crate just like he drove the mini stock.
Ruhlman is an intriguing option in the super. Ran their car at the world finals last year.

It's my understanding that Proper owns the crate.

He runs everything for it but they bought the engines, the car, and bought him the trailer for it. He just hauls it and takes car of sruff on his own. Idk if it one of their old Rayburns or if it is a new one but they've got several crate engines at their shop for him and everything on their FB pointd to them being the owners. Someone from the Suppa family is married into the proper family which is allegedly where this partnership came from.

One of the guys that helps Proper stated to me that they bought the Rayburn off of Suppa. No idea about the engines.

A mutual friend went to Suppa's shop with him a week or 2 ago and said they bought the trailer and engines for him. They had 3 Crates sitting in the shop and he was picking up tires or something of that sort. He didn't say whether Proper owned it but I know that when this came about he was driving it for them. That may have changed but that wasn't the initial agreement.
