According to floracing.com, Casebolt will start racing with Beeman and Masters at Atomic Speedway Friday.

So is Kyle Hardy out or a teammate?

[T3GJason47]

Hardy out...seems to me that regardless of who they put in that ride will be mediocre at best.

If by mediocre, you mean winning...then yes, they will continue to be mediocre regardless of who they put in "that ride". Pretty much everybody that has driven for Jim has won in his stuff.

[T3GJason47]

Winning local shows is hardly something to brag about when you have the money and your the house car for a chassis company. What other then weekly regional stuff did Gilpin win? And Hardy won at a local show at Florence in it.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Both of these last posts have valid points.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

A lot of "good"drivers have driven this car. Don't seem to last long though

[zyoung25]

Casebolt was at his best in the masterbilt a few years ago, no he didn't win the dream in one, but he seemed to be in contention a lil more. Imo

Just saw a tweat from Kyle Hardy.....after being a Mastersbuilt----MBH loyalist for his entire career, he is preparing a new family owned Rocket XR1 for the Appalachian Speedweeks.

Mastersbilt can't compete nationally doesn't matter who is in it

Can you blame him? If he lost that ride then he made the right choice on Chassis, everyone pretty much has been fast in them. Not a rocket fan but give credit where credit is due.

The worst thing Masters ever did was let The Real Deal leave the house car. They have went down hill since then.

They could if they wanted to. There cars need an update cycle.

The car and hauler belong to Pancho Lawler, and the motors are coming from his old car owner Martin..

More power to him. Don't really care for him, but I'd do exactly as he is doing if I was in his shoes.

"The car and hauler belong to Pancho Lawler, and the motors are coming from his old car owner Martin.."

Is this deal just for Speedweeks or for the rest of the season?

Can't really blame him. Mostly everybody who gets in an XR1 has a marked improvement in results as soon as they get in one.

[King1]

Seems like they make everybody mad at some point. But give them a year or two and they'll come out with something and put everybody's stuff to shame like they always do, it'll run for about 3 years and dwindle away then everybody will leave em for the next flavor of the week, rumors will go around about them going out of business etc etc etc and then here they come again. It does bother me however that mbh stopped supporting them. I know at the end of last year Billy tried a wylie chassis and I guess that deal is over considering the car is for sale for next to nothing and per DoD he's selling black diamond cars. I really think if they would answer the phone and be somewhat friendly when they do answer they might pick up some business. I'm in scottsburg on business right now and dropped by there yesterday at 4:15 and the doors were locked and tader was cutting his grass and his business hours say 8-5. They did have a couple new cars in assembly though.

[Rollover]

that team is pretty much a joke. very good equipment but for some reason nobody stays in it very long. don't expect it to be any different for Casebolt.

The way I read it, it was for speedweeks and some regional specials..

[Josh Bayko]

Looks that way to me, too. There's a ton of specials in the area in the next month or so.

[Matt49]

That's already in the works. Their new car is unrecognizable compared to smack or genX

Were those Leggett engines?

[JustAddDirt]

from what I hear its a longhorn copy. and but a few other things as well.

but, that is just hear say. from a pretty good source

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Longhorn copy is the construction of the day. I have heard stuff to make me think the same, but didnt know anything new was built.

[Matt49]

I wouldn't necessarily call it a "copy" of a Longhorn. A lot of things that Longhorn did are being done by other builders. Masters won't be an exception but there are some interesting new "features" and I would actually say some of this is pretty innovative. As kind of a loyal MasterSbilt customer, I'm excited about it.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Hmm. You got my attention.

[JabberJaws83]

So is Beeman's current car still the old design?

[Matt49]

99% sure all of his cars are GenX based (MBH, extra, LXT, whatever). They haven't really gotten to test the new stuff yet and despite what some people believe, Beeman is not the "house" car.

[Mudweiser]

No sir, Pro Power..

[Mantis]

Beeman is not the "house" car.

Maybe not the official "house" car but I would think it's pretty close to one since Tader is turning the wrenches.

If not them, who is their house car driver??

I know they've had some pretty stout combinations running out of the Crothersville shop in the past and wish they would get back to that type of relevance.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

There is no "house car" Beemans stuff I'd the closest thing to it.

[Hunter4s]

Steve looked good tonight at atomic in that car finished 2

[Snake X3]

No sir, Pro Power..

Thanks! :)

[MBR Performance]

That's already in the works. Their new car is unrecognizable compared to smack or genXWhere can I find out more about the new cars? Are they going to have one out running soon?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Wins at Moler tonight

[zyoung25]

He was in his own car, not the Mastersbilt.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Oh snap......

[zyoung25]

They're probably saving that car, or the new car that's been talked about for the dream. I wouldn't look too much into it.

[Carb7]

Steve will be in his own car again tonight and back in the Beeman Mastersbilt at Eldora.

Is he running at Florence?

Atomic is what he said last night.

"Hardy out...seems to me that regardless of who they put in that ride will be mediocre at best."

So far the move seems to have worked out for both Hardy & Casebolt. Steve already has a win and Kyle seems to be competitive so far in the Martin/Poncho Rocket XR1 #3.
