Good read, I would like see the old Jimmy pre-retired foxx days. It would make lucas more tighter in point battle.

He had a stout engine at the Flight race, Bshepp was the only thing close. I wondered because i knew Custom was working a new chevy head design, was hoping it was that good, should of know thou, hard to beat them dam Big Fords. I usually dont go into the pits to look when i am spectating.

He will be a big factor at Eldora this year...

He's due for a good run of good racing luck. As a fan of his it would be great to see him run GREAT w/ a chassis which is not made by Bloomquist. He's a very nice guy every time you talk to him at his t-shirt trailer. I'm still not on board with the whole Eldora tire fiasco that happened a few years ago, I found it fishy that 4/5 guys "caught" were running the Lucas Oil Late Model Series.

He got caught with treated tires in the NDRL also.

He was running CRE when he was with B.W. in 16, can't remember if left CRE when him and B.W. split or kept them for while before jumping to Andy. He was 100% in Andy's in 17 tho.

That and the Knoxville crash in 2014, he really hasnt looked the same after Wild ride. Should say slowly been breaking into the old Jimmy before that wreck.

Says Durham under engine builder of the race in the race statistics. Wouldn't the winners engine builder be engine builder of the race?

Don't see where it said anything about him running durham, even did word search for it lol. If you go to DoD it has CRE as his power plant.

2nd year in that rocket. I think he still has the abilities to win a few more and be in the point race to the end.

I'll say it again, he's been on Durham stuff basically for the last 2 seasons. He switched to Durham when he went to a xr1. I've been there and seen it with my own 2 eyes. He did run Custom when he ran the bwrc though. He switched to and xr1 the weekend of the N/S in 16. We was pitted right beside him.

I see now, I guess that when he made the change in power plant. Did he swoop motor that day? I know Jd and others sometimes would jumped to another motor when they hurt it. when Leroy wasn’t with them or Leroy felt like it would be better just use another motor brand. Seen jd win with Leroy, pro power, clement, Durham, ect through out 15-17.
