Davenport/ BWRC: How many engines did they go through?

[Duke100]

Always liked the Barry Wright cars. News stories say they ran out of engines. How many engines did they go through and what were the reasons? Anybody in the know out there have the details?

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

JD destroys way more equipment then he is worth.

You are not worth a pos!

Blackie..... coming strong!!!!

I've said on here before that Hatfields were POSs and wondered why a top flite team would go with them.

[dirtcrazy4u]

JD took the orange spoiler off bloomer and immediately went to the bottom of the bucket, along with Bobbie Pierce I mite ad, I wonder what's going to happen to kid rocket if he continues and takes home the orange spoiler ? Personally, I think w JD in the equipment he is in, the remainder of the year should be some dam good racing. Know the rumors of the 6 car getting back out. It will be interesting. I just wish kid rocket was in the valvoline #1 instead of the best ride. I think that crew is a step above the best crew.

Don't know a number, but they were all Hatfields. Last time out with Super they killed one and then wiped out the back up car the same night. In previous years Barry has almost always used Clements power, but I can only speculate as to why they didn't this go round. The only exception I can think of is Bloomquist who was running Cornett back then and Brandon Kinzer and he used Mopars, not sure who built those. Other than those (2) most every other time someone was in the BWRC housecar it was Clements power, Hatfield was an anomaly. There are several who will disagree with me on this, but I believe the engines were a big part of what held them back and ultimately torpedoed their efforts.


If engines were spoilers and quarter panels JD could break Hendrick and Roush in 9 weeks. Couldn't even use the super man cape half the time because the buttons were ripped of the deck lol

Think you have JD confused with Booby Pierce, just saying. JD was wild earlier in his career and took a lot of chances, not unlike an early Dale Earnhardt, but his time with Rumley was less so, but he could turn it on if he heeded to.

[Duke100]

Did they pop those motors when they broke the driveshafts or did that happen on a different night. I know it was in the past but I remember Billy Moyer having a lot of success with Hatfields.

[President Clinton]

Obviously one to many??????

I have NO knowledge of Moyer ever running Hatfield, usually Clements, Jay D!ckens or ProPower. Back in the day he ran Draime and one out of California but the name escapes me. Only driver I ever remember having any success with Hatfield on the national level was Marshal Green, but that was after he won the DTWC and several HAT races with a Custom/Warrior. I'm sure they exist but I don't know them.

BWRC lost the sponsor for the house car just as the season was above to kick off. Clements motors aren't cheap and the funds were not there to purchase them. Insert Hatfield who saw it as a marketing opportunity to get more SLM business but things didn't work out like planned.

Exactly as I thought, Barry almost always uses Clements.

I'm sure they exist but I don't know them. I would almost bet Terry Phillips won more races with a Hatfield motor than anyone, both Late Model and Modified.

[MI Dirt Fan]

1 is understandable. 2 is bad luck. 3 you better be finding a new builder.

[dirtcrazy4u]

You can't tell me clemens would not have leased BW a motor if he needed one. New house car with JD wheeling it, there is a lot more to this story that no one knows.

Barry has leased motors from clements in the past.

[President Clinton]

Clements lease might not been available due to Barry using other motors for the past couple of years???? They had Barry's Clements motor in at one point, but broke it too!

[tsand]

Barry was testing with his new driver Ross Balies using Ross motor and had motor trouble

[adamconners]

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

He dnt.... he smelled it. Its in the air in sc.

[adamconners]

He dnt.... he smelled it. Its in the air in sc.If this is true, BW got one of the best youngsters in the sport. If put in equipment with a team who has $$$ Bailes can turn heads.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

When money is tight, you buy tools from harbor freight and pray.

Yes for sure. Always exciting to watch ross race. I wish them good luck.

I hope he gets that car to turn. Right now its good for drag racing

[adamconners]

Wonder when they will start?

[dirtcrazy4u]

So JD vacate the seat due to the car sitting. JD was probably getting 50%, that's a going rate for a driver of his caliber. The new driver which doesn't have the NAME what's he get maybe 25%. And all of a sudden they come up with a motor.

[Krooser]

If the Hatfied's broke I'd buy a couple McCoy's...

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

An engine other than reliability is the most overrated piece of a race team. Racing is monkey see monkey do. Let Bloomquist bolt a Hatfield plant under the hood and Hatfield will be a rich man. Too bad Andy Durham takes such good care of the zero because the man could win with any engine builder. That's a fact


Ha ha ha ha ha

TRUTH......Them feature races aren't won by those 900 hp motors!

[nuff said]

It's amazing how some of ya'll know more about what these guys need that race for a living than they do themselves.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

He was a know it all before he got banned and guess he still thinks he is.

You forgot the need for a smooth power curve.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Slideways, aren't you at the hospital getting your stomach pumped. JD and TMac both had decent nights so we all know what you had for dinner! 


Go fuk urself CENTEROFF. all you are is a queef

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Sideways, you must have me confused but I will never doubt you while your on a full stomach! Jesus that's disgusting and you didn't deny it!! Yummmmy

Deny it all ya want
I know who you are so dnt start your bs w me

[Black I]

Careful there dodgecity. SS will troll your every post if you start getting to him and it looks like you have lol.

Hey jumpster! Bet I seem like a saint compared to this guy Hahahahaha

He aint nutn but a pimple on a dead mans azz. You arnt any different.

[Black I]

Hey dodgecity, before you steel my job of keeping ss in line... just remember this, you'll never get him to face facts! I don't think he has the ability, if you know what I mean ;)

[Hitemdeep]

A small motor or one that's down on horsepower will put you behind the 8 ball too many places in qualifying. If you start back there you most like finish back there, unless the track slicks off a bunch and becomes pretty racy. If a track stays hooked up, you're not out running those hogs.

[Black I]

I've been dealing with idiots like SS my whole life. Can't wait until the day he figures out who his favorite driver really is!! This guy is like a gay man at a sausage party! SS pick a driver and only one driver to pull for! That's what real fans do but in the meantime I have some paper towels and charcoal to make you vomit. Quit sticking your nose in people who are smarter than you are biz

4m has created it's own monster lmao

[Kwd1253]

What rumors was going around spreading that he told you personally?

[Black I]

SS, is like the guy that's getting lapped, wrecks the leaders and swears to his wife he was racing for the lead! Wonder what tee shirt he will have on tomorrow? I'd bet it's a Scott F'N Bloomquist lol. Truthfully I liked TMac a little until he got drunk at Eldora and started spreading bs rumors like a woman so I can see SS pulling for a punk like that. Actually JD is pretty cool, he is no superman but is a pretty good dude. As for SS he is just a hater with a full stomach lol

Well said DC:)

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

What rumors was going around spreading that he told you personally?

It prolly wasnt a rumor. Anything centeroff doesnt like is always called a rumor as he cant face facts

[Josh Bayko]

What rumors was going around spreading that he told you personally?

You don't actually believe any of that, do you?

[nuff said]

Well,that certainly clears things up.
