If Bob isn't going along, it may be a mistake. Smart goes fast and Bob has more knowledge than most. We have seen how fast JD is with out his engineer. We have seen the Dunn Benson car, barley making the top ten. It's pretty easy to figure this out. It may surprise us all but we will see.

This would be a way to funnel xr1/longhorn technology back to Dad while having a paid ride. Depending on what chassis Dunn Benson uses.

Don't believe so.

It was just a thought. I guess a good topic for discussion would be.... Who keeps Pierce racecars up front and winning if they don't use them? Unzicker is good enough, but I think he likes his local/ semi-regional stuff so that he can still have a family life.

Pierce to Dunn Benson?

Do I see a Dunn effing Benson T-shirt in their future. My advice to the Dunn Benson team is keep the mom a thousand miles away so as to retain your class, dignity and respect because she has none of those qualities.

They will be strongly introduced to how things are done in the Bible belt!

I haven't seen any conformation. I was just commenting on the speculation. I would speculate, that if Dunn Benson took advice from the Bobby haters here, there is slim chance of them being on top again. To win, you need a cohesive team, not one that excludes.

I did see a Bobby tweet, that said something about a Rocket car. Could be Richards wants both the Woo and Lucas, plus the UMP SN championships. Rocket will have a good chance in the south, with Overton / Weaver.

Just off of the top of my head, I think he ran Bloomquist, Rocket and was the last person to win any significant races in a GRT. He pretty much won in every chassis he raced.

Might not be a lot on a National level but I'm surprised how many times I see someone in a Pierce chassis. I've seen some out in Pa. Possibly purchased used but they're out there.

Jason Jagers won a bunch of races @ Peoria in steel block class I think. Think he's in a Pierce. McKay Wenger and Gordy Gundaker both found some success with them.

Roberts has won in several chassis over the past few years and not really struggled much in any of them.Blount picked the right wheelman and he should do very well in that equipment.He has earned it,It's not been that long ago that he rolled in with a dually and a well used enclosed trailer and was a factor when he showed up.

I disagree to a point. There's only maybe 4-5 races a year where the racing is enough to fill peoples entertainment needs (where it's a topic anywhere past the car ride home). Don't believe me? Just take a look around this forum, most of the threads are related to some kinda drama or BS. Very few are actually discussing the on track product. With that being said, I do get the point of your post. I just think that if the racing was as good as it should be, we wouldn't ever hear about the other non-sense.

I see it the same way. Out in the real world, the fans in the stands love to see Bobby at the race they go to see. He puts on a show. They like to see him win or they like to see their driver beat him. There are some that are tired of him beating their favorite driver, but that kind of stuff happens.

Unless Bob really wants to cut back, it would be foolish to break up a winning combination. If a car owner did such a thing, he would be cheating himself out of a winning combination. Those combinations are hard to come by. They are more than the best parts and a good driver. Look how many drivers missed the mark at Bowyers in the past. They have a couple drivers now that can run their own show, but there are only about 4 or 5 of them racing now. If you take Rumley away from JD, he's not the same. Josh R and B Shep wouldn't be the same, with out Rocket house support. Would Devin Morand be as good with out his dad, or Hudson O.

Lets see, Josh Richards drove for Kyle Busch in trucks before the Joy Mining sponsorship went the way of the mining industry. He then drove in Xfinity cars for Go Green Racing. Tim McCreadie was signed by Childress Racing but that went away with his injury at the Chili Bowl. Bloomer has run a couple. Joey Coulter comes to mind also.

Pretty good group of guys to be associated with. Like I said, the major majority of folks that have a problem with Pierce are the 4m faithful. And the majority of those are Bloomquist fans. Like him or hate him, young Pierce has had more rides offered to him at a young age than most.

As I've said before, I'm not a Pierce fan. I do see talent. I do see jealous fans. I hope Bobby does end up chasing a National tour cuz he sure stinks up a lot of shows around home.
