@TyWarnerAARO: Sources confirm that Guy Beugnet (@Beugnet30) has been released from his contract for 2019 and is now a free agent. Holliday Inc. tried shopping him around, but failed to get any returns that they felt were reasonable. It appears that there is MRT interest in the young Quebecois driver.
(OOC: This news also happens to break on what is his 22nd birthday. Ouch.)
@TyWarnerAARO: @RevolverMtrspts has announced that the 38 car Chase Smith drove this season will be renumbered to 34; Sauer Enterprises was granted permission to the number with Maxime Dumas for this upcoming season. Quikrete adorns the hood with Malik Glover going for RotY.
@TyWarnerAARO: The team does not know if Étienne Pancel will be back or not; both camps have not been talking at the current moment. Nielsen likely joins Egiziano in MRT while a veteran takes over their ANS car.

@40WillMazzone: @SceneZombie Yeah man. Used to have respect for him and ik it was a tough year for him but its wrong to take it out like that
@ElectricWolf87: Despicable news to hear. That is not something this garage and community tolerates and I hope he can be rehabilitated. This goes way deeper than motorsport and it's a travesty that these kinds of people walk amongst us.
@juvenile65: dat aint the kind of stuff we need in our sport but nothin got confirmed yet so imma wait and see if its just smoke she blowin up our asses or if its real
@RobertCorrellAARO: Been getting quite a bit of flack for the way I had pieced that story together, but I simply worked with the details myself and my team were given. It is a very sad situation that I hope is resolved as quickly as possible.
If anyone is facing abuse or feels trapped in an abusive situation, the National Domestic Hotline can be reached at (800) 799-7233 at any time of day.
@RobertCorrell: In other news, Jalen Scransen seems to be looking more towards the still four-car operation of @ACSRacingofficial as they had sent him an offer a couple of weeks ago. Hearing it is around the $8M range, and that would be huge for him if so. With injuries he was not expected to get an offer above seven mil. #AAROSillySeason
@RobertCorrellAARO: @RevolverMtrspts has inquired for the services of Étienne Pancel, David Jugar, Kyle Korbett and Derek Lanigan to drive in the ANS for them. No word of how far talks have extended with any of them, but sources indicate that Pancel still does not have a desire to return unless other shoes drop.
@RobertCorrellAARO: Southern Pride Motorsports has been in contact with @TexasTwister3 about driving their second car. Bell just signed a deal with Walmart to sponsor him wherever he goes in 2019 citing that their charity work was a large reason why he wants to represent them on the racetrack.

@TyWarnerAARO: Had apparently been a done deal behind the scenes for a while, but it is confirmed that Jacob Smith will return to the #62 Dodge for Powell Racing next season in the #AMRT.
@RobertCorrellAARO: Silly season has continued to be moving slowly with no deals being made at this time. This story will likely further the notion of Carson Racing retooling their organization over this offseason.
The inaugural Priority Selection looks to have some exciting new drivers introduced to the AARO, including Nathan Worthington, Kerby Valentine, Max Caruso and (this one is fun) Hampus Sjodin of Sweden.

@TyWarnerAARO: Preston Bell has signed with Southern Pride Racing to drive their second car for the 2019 #AMRT season. The team says he is only secured to run 10 races, but Lawton will be able to compete full-time in the 7 car.
No other news so far.

@ACSRacingOfficial: We have terminated our contract with Mylan Pharmaceuticals and their branding will no longer appear on our cars. The reasoning is not contractual, but goes beyond the scope of racing.

@SceneZombie: Yeah how a team majority owned by a man and who's main driver are from WV and big fans of WVU sports didn't know they were shadier than Em simply confuses me
@SceneZombie: The company bought the inventor of the epipen, raised the price massively, raised their CEO's salary by a bigger margin, laid off employees because 'less profit' and all along the CEO didn't even earn anything above a bachelor's degree.

@TyWarnerAARO: Week ending rather busily for some of us! I sat down with Emerson Doherty about his expectations for 2019, how he's responding to his championship loss last season, and how puppies can offer the best medicine! Interview is live now on AARO.com: #AMRT
@TyWarnerAARO: Preston Bell and his new team, Southern Pride Motorsports, seem to be gelling well already. I sat down with him as well at the team shop in Spartanburg to talk about the ride he's been on since his time at JN Motorsports in 2014, as well as what the Texan is looking for beyond this season. #AMRT

@NathanSmith83: I am excited to announce that the Canaan Valley Speedpark will be open for testing to all AARO teams from 9 AM to 4 PM starting tomorrow, Feb. 8th and ending the 23rd.
@NathanSmith83: The asphalt oval that had hosted AERS competition, the adjacent Autumn Hills Road Course, and the newly finished Proving Oval will all be open and fully staffed as if active competition was occurring.
@NathanSmith83: (This public announcement comes last second so maybe we could have at least 1 day of work without too many media questions lol)
@SceneZombie: @NathanSmith83 I've been waiting for this public announcement to say: What a nice gesture man. I just regret having to leave the warm now to do my day job, ugh.
@SceneZombie: And you already know I'm hitting up MoTown every night them students been eating stromBOLI
