Don Frankish sold his trucks but still has a ride truck that he operates. There have been rumblings for a while that a close friend of his is building a truck that he was planning on letting Don drive a few times but as a full time competition driver he is retired 

Also Paul Cohen is also retired though he does alot of fabrication work at the Digger Dungeon.
