I asked this question earlier this season, but will ask again. Does Bobby's win last night help Bob sell more cars next year?

When somebody with another last name than Pierce wins, they will sell a lot more.

Yeah, it seems after he does well they sell some, then for whatever reason you see most of them up for sale shortly after... When guys besides Bobby start winning then I think you will see more.

For some reason, many seem to be up for sale shortly after the guy gets it.

Because they don't have the tall cool one there to set the car up for them. Makes a huge difference. I wonder if they really want to sell that many. It will take away from what they are doing and that's winning races.

Why be in business then?

I wan under the impression that they couldn't give them away, I would say what the customer gets is a little bit different than what daddy's baby boy has.

Ryan Unzicker is about the only one I can think of that has stuck with Pierce for more than a year. He races mostly regional stuff and has only a few wins this year. Like someone else said, if someone else besides Bobby starts winning in one, it would sell more cars.

Speaking of chassis....at the world there were 12 different chassis that started the race...1 Pierce, Barry Wight, Sweet Bloomquist, GRT, MB Customs...2 Victory Circle, Capital, Swartz...3 Club 29, Black Diamond, 6 Rockets, and 7 Longhorns...would have guessed Rockets woulda been the majority

Sometimes they are testing new things...doesn't mean what they're working on is ready for someone else to try...the cars are the same...you can always buy one of Bobbys...I'm pretty sure every one of them is for sale including the world 100 winning car

Couple corrections... There were 2 Barry Wright cars in the feature. Devin Moran and Wendell Wallace. The Moyer cars are not Victory Circle...they are Victory by Moyer.

Go so far as, I was told by someone that use too work there, that things were cut off his car when they were sold...Know 1 driver that Bob told him too put in the 7 hole,and he asked him agen and he said the 7 hole.. and said driver said there only 6 holes...nothing said and then Bob gos O yea the 6 hole....The house car is NOT the Same ...

If you make Money racing, You dont need too sell cars...Making cars takes a lot of Time and work...I would make 3 or 4 for friends that dont race were I do, and get feed back to stay on top of the car...

The same can be said about Richards and Davenport.

I know a guy that bought a rayburn from Moyer years ago and quite a few of the mounting locations were not the same as the rayburn he already owned. I think they all do it to some extent

True, also a Pierce car that the "tall cool one" cannot help them with, as stated above about the 7hole.

I think some of the better drivers May be good in this car and Just cant get that other named car too work...Thats why some times you see a driver jump from one too the next too the next.. They looking for that car that Flys for them...They had 2 or 3 guys that were doing real good and they all had a falling out with Bob...Back when I was helping hedrick he could not sell the 2 he got fast enuff.. he hated them....But not to long after that he went off the deep end so who knows...

Not trying to argue at all, but Dirt on dirt results under racewire show him in a black diamond. If you go to stuckeycars.com they list Wendell having won 3 races in 2016 in a black diamond also. Idk what car he had at the world, just going by what I read.

If you have a Pierce and only have six holes you go buy a seventh... how much can a hole cost?

One question, are they counting those 7 holes from the bottom up or the top down? Thinking I may have a 8 hole and missing the 1 and 2.

This is exactly why the bought cars don't run like the house cars. The handling characteristics don't come from numbered holes like a paint by number portrait. they come from percentage of Squat or roll center and unless your center of gravity is exactly the same as the house car, the number don't mean JACK. A 6 on one car could be the same as a 7 or 5 on another. These one size fits all chassis set ups are fine for the fresh guy to get a base line but they don't make winners out of all of them. If you want to blame one, blame them all. They try to dumb it down enough to be helpful.

And your driver may Like the car with more Coming in to a turn and less coming off a turn.. So the set up on his car would not be the same as Bobby likes his....Thats why there is more then 1 hole.. You make 2 cars the same and put the same set up on both of them, and I bet they drive not the same...BUT i still think there is MORE holes on a HOUSE car...

Also, Bob Pierce or Mark Richards or whoever could put the exact same setup that the house car has under a customers car and it still might not be the right setup for said customer.

If you want to be consistently fast, you need to figure out the setups that fit your driving style, not the setups that fit Bobby Pierce or Josh Richards or whoever's driving style.

Pierce orders those laser cut brackets by the dozens to get a price break. Its the same bracket on all the cars weather its Bobby's car or not. Most of the time they only use the bottom 3 holes.

As far as the rockets go, I have only seen under a few of the xr1 cars. They all look identical with the exception of a couple different name brand rear ends. I looked under the car of Scott and I couldn't imagine him working at rocket for a living and being Marks brother in law that he would have anything different than Josh. I tell you the xr1 cars didn't like the slick Eldora this weekend

Just so everybody is aware a set of brackets probably runs about $40 total. In a short run the most one should pay would be maybe a one time CAD charge of $100-$150. Laser cutting is not terribly expensive at many shops.
