As the offseason approaches teams plans for the next season start to develope, some teams decide to take a jump up to the next division while some decide to step away from racing for the next season. As the for sale signs start appearing on the cars around this time you have to ask yourself what are their plans for next year. In the last couple of years teams that have run well in the Wisconsin Sport Trucks have moved up to the Limited Late Model Division and have done quite well. Some teams that we could see making the move up after some good years in the truck division are: Dan Hansen, Scott Bushman, Jason Van Handel, and Todd Verhagen who is very interested in the limited late model division, but waiting on 04 rules. Matt Diericks has already stated he is moving up to the Limited Late Model class driving a Winners Circle chassis that was aquired from Mike Kelly. Hear anything, let us know! (08-04-03)
