Hans Lein Retiring?

Probably the wrong board to ask on, but does anyone know if Hans is leaving the sport, or just updating his stable? His ad in NSSN appears to be cleaning house. This fan sure hates the thought of not seeing this team around anymore, if that's the case....

Morty,
We can tell you that he's not retiring before The International Midget races in New Zealand as Dave will be driving for him and Harlan Kittleson for Team USA. Not sure about his plans for next year!

He said that he was stepping aside and letting his son's take over the operation.

If you mean Stratton I believe he was fired earlier this year.

Danny had a USAC midget ride later in the year, I was told he had Hans's blessing to run some other shows. He did drive one of the 2 cars at the Pepsi Nationals along with Stanbrough and Pickens. If I was to guess at a driver for 08 it would be Pickens, but I do love watching Danny fly by me in corner 3 at the Prairie.
