Maybe this was brought up in the 2012 Pairings thread, but I just noticed this in the lineup for Grand Rapids, MI Thunder Nationals
USHRA Monster Trucks including Grave Digger® driven by Charlie Pauken, Advance Auto Parts Grinder℠ driven by Frank Krmel, Superman driven by Sean Duhon, Lil Miss Dangerous is High Maintenance driven by Jocelyn Perrin, Bad News Travels Fast, and Full Boar driven by Ed Eckert!
Knew Duhon couldn't stay retired forever

I wonder if he will get chad's old chassis? He can definitely do well in that equipment and maybe after 6 years the truck will finally become more than a feild-filler. Though for me I feel a little bit disheartened to see another great Indy driver snapped up by Feld, I nonetheless am looking forward to his return.

To be quite honest, I'm glad Superman is getting a fresh start. As it's been said, Superman has become just another truck or just a field-filler. Chad Fortune had been driving for so long I'm surprised he didn't really improve on his driving skills. He really did better in Power Forward. Sean Duhon is a perfect fit for Superman just for the main fact that it's in dire need of a replacement.
------------------------------------------------ 2012 First Quarter Schedule::
Trenton, NJ - AAP MONSTER JAM - January 6th-7th
East Rutherford, NJ - AAP MONSTER JAM - February 3rd-4th
Bridgeport, CT - AAP MONSTER JAM - March 2nd-4th*
Sean and I are friends so I may be partial to him, but Sean has always been a good consistant driver, who can flirt with disaster without crossing the line. I am looking forward to some solid freestyles with the truck staying on all 4's the whole run, and some racing wins. Sean, congrats buddy, I am proud of ya. I will give you a shout in a few weeks to get your schedule. Kick some tail!

Sorry if I'm going off-topic hear, but on MJOnline.com, it says Chad Fortune will drive Captain America, Alex Blackwell will drive Wolverine, and Becky McDonough will drive El Toro Loco. What??

Seeing Alex in something other than Captain's Curse would be different if that ends up happening. I like when drivers can develop an identity with one truck instead of constantly switching rides. Also, if Becky's bio is true, then I sure hope that Dragon's Breath isn't finished because it's one of the most amazing looking trucks in the industry. The truck page still lists her as the driver, so I'm hoping the El Toro thing is just a typo.
EDIT: The truck page for El Toro still says Lupe is one of the drivers, so I can't go by that. If Dragon's Breath got replaced by yet another El Toro body, that's really unfortunate.

And Feld's driver musical chairs continues! They make it hard for the die-hards to keep track of who's driving what let alone the average fans...
