Jimmy Kouba - Journal Archive

We are retiring from team ownership. We have decided to go out of business, selling all of the race operation. I am not retiring from driving, but do not plan to actively pursue a ride until issues related to the race business are resolved.

Jamie and I are disappointed to not try the IRA/Outlaw circuit this season. We were confident that it was a good opportunity and that we would have been successful. We believe the IRA is a great operation and are truly disappointed we can't try our hand this year.

All race team equipment will be liquidated. A complete list of parts and equipment will be available soon in the Used Parts section of our website.

The good news is that my brother Joe Kouba has partnered with Jerry Richert Jr. Jerry is a seasoned veteran with multiple championships. He has over 40 wins to his credit including many at Knoxville, as well as a WoO victory. Jerry will drive the #55 410 this year. Additionally the team will still campaign the #55 360, driven by Joe; the #63 360, driven by Jerry; and the #74 360, driven by Joseph Kouba. The 410 races are primarily with the IRA but also include WoO events and other specials. The 360s will compete with WISSOTA and at Jackson, Minnesota. This team has over 60 years of combined experience. They will be a formidable force in Midwestern sprint car racing.
