Hudson O'Neal has a new crew guy. Tyler Nevins who was at BPM but left in March.

Vinnie Giuliani has left Tony Jackson Jr. and is now working for Junghans.

Mark Richards is now a Grand father

Brandon Sheppard has a bad bruised think after jamming it into the steering wheel last night.

Both Tmac, Hudson O'Neal and Satterlee are using backup cars after last night's incidents. Satterlee's car had the RR axle tube snap in half at the birdcage.

[Mindwalker]

I expect a Bobby Babb battle mid pack real quick!

[smooth32]

I expect a Bobby Babb battle mid pack real quick!Babb out lap 5 and Pierce out lap 6 lol

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Bloomer checked out

[smooth32]

Bloomer checked outHe had about a 4.5 second lead wiped out due to a caution.

[Illtsate32]

Bobbys had more dnfs this year than he has in his whole career, runs good then dnf 1 step forward and 3 back...smh

[smooth32]

Bobbys had more dnfs this year than he has in his whole career, runs good then dnf 1 step forward and 3 back...smhNot so sure that race team is firing on all cylinders.

[Millie23]

Seems like Pierce just can’t catch a break lately! Running good just seems like he’s always has a problem the last month.

[Kwd1253]

How many cars on lead lap? Looks like alot cars keep going into the infield pit

[smooth32]

What a finish!

[GrocMax]

15 thousandths

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Congrats to team 49!
They finally got that durham motor to run

[Centeroff]

That thing was humming when he jumped that last restart

[intel8]

Good race! Bloomer was gone if not for the caution.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Sorry bout the caution

[Illtsate32]

Once again I HATE it when peopl stop on the track for no reason, but its part of racing...

[billetbirdcage]

Congrats to team 49!

Better check that, the distributor wasn't in front on that engine.

[george w]

Davenport said he wanted to try something different I think he said the motor was one of g.r. smiths

Yea gr brought it to jd and they put it in for tues night

Yea i know i was being a smart azz

[Mindwalker]

Yea i know i was being a smart azz

With a small peenis Hahahahahahaha

[Kwd1253]

Yea i know i was being a smart azz

Cornet motor.. ??? Jd and lander done with Andy, they had been having a lot problems with them.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

So we will have a million threads about drama and BS? But what racing is all about, that race right there, practically nothing. What a race, what a finish.

TMac gave Bloomer fits, then pulls out one of them awesome cautions.

Congrats to JD, and really blows for Scott.

[Illtsate32]

Dunn Benson maintenance program making Fergys look like old faithful right now. Even with the money backing Bobby idk, I think this team is handicapping his potential...

[CageFaraday]

Should be an interesting end to the season. Usually Bloomquist doesn't get his momentum until later, but he's been strong and consistent as of late and with a photo finish 2nd place(.015 Second) and with Davenport pin pointing what they'd been lacking, the late summer and fall should be HOT.

[a25rjr]

Davenport said he wanted to try something different I think he said the motor was one of g.r. smiths

That was one of them Bloomquist tricks......look over here at this.....but don't check my fummy tires! :)

none the less....good race!

[zyoung25]

Yea gr brought it to jd and they put it in for tues night

Sounds like it was bought, not borrowed. It's the same engine he won the world with.

[smoothoperator32]

Totally agree need to make serious changes

[#FALSuperman]

How's EPJ doing this year without DB?

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Dunn Benson maintenance program making Fergys look like old faithful right now. Even with the money backing Bobby idk, I think this team is handicapping his potential...Nope, Boobie just sucks.:)

Crazy man, he runs good, and they are breaking a lot. He has gotten better in the XR1, too bad they cannot keep a car under him. Hopefully they get things squared away, I still think it’s a great opportunity for Bobby. But their maintenance, luck, awful.

[Bob Hubbard]

Anyone hear Bloomer being a cry baby in the interview ? Who n what was he talking about ( adjusting a shock ) ....

[Illtsate32]

Gotta love the little jabs Scott and JD throw at each other in post race interviews lol, JD says as Hard as I was running the top Scott was just as good if not better middle to bottom...for some reason lol. Then Scott says I heard JD adjusted a shock, I dont know how you do that in the car, but whatever lol

[kazual]

The 0 is arguably the greatest in several categories of DLM, including excuses.

[#FALSuperman]

Saw where JD said for me running as hard as i was up against the cushion, he (Bloomer) must be pretty good on the bottom for some reason.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Tmacs caution is better than throwing a screwdriver!

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Anyone hear Bloomer being a cry baby in the interview ? Who n what was he talking about ( adjusting a shock ) ....Anyone hear JD wondering how Scott was so good middle to bottom with how hard he was running the top? You’re going to call out one, call them both out.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Then Scott says I heard JD adjusted a shock, I dont know how you do that in the car, but whatever lolIt was said Scott had adjustable shocks in 2014 I think it was from a phone app. Him and a few others had them and then they canned them rightfully so. So he would know if it’s possible lol.

[rolldog]

Its been mentioned already in this thread but that the heck was up with T-Mac? OK, he races Bloomer hard to avoid going a lap down, I get that. Then he "fake" stops on the track, pulls through the pit, comes out another pit gate and is back up to speed. Did he change his tampon or did he dive like they do in soccer? Credit to JD on the restart. Bloomer had beaten BShep and JD on the previous restart and JD got him on this one. Great finish, didn't think Bloomer was going to get that close but he almost got JD.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Wow. JD wins his first race in like 12 events and all the band wagoners come back out of the woodwork.

[TS FAN]

Not to fear, Bloomers will start and the pole and dominate all 100 laps Saturday. Take it to the bank. By far the best car on the track. For those that want to see that, enjoy!!!!

[TS FAN]

Yes by all means, if posters are not a Bloomie fan they should get off the board. Right? How does that go? log out and go away.

At least they dnt throw a screwdriver on the track

You stalking me again.

[TS FAN]

Yeah right. MI why don't you get a life? You hang on this board all day like some kind of self righteous character. BTW you started with me, so don't come crying. You make statements like your last post and I am going to shove them right back at you. You just cheer your driver and don't criticize people that cheer other drivers and then I won't bother with you.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Feel better now?

[a25rjr]

Wow. JD wins his first race in like 12 events and all the band wagoners come back out of the woodwork.

Aint it amazing, ole SS or high roller or......got out of 4m timeout, just in time for his original Blackie username.....JUMPER! :)

[a25rjr]

How's EPJ doing this year without DB?

Yep....they traded chassis's,engines, and now drivers....and still the same results!

Anyone see the common denominator?

[Clayton_Wetter]

SS had to change shorts!!!

No need for him to take a little blue pill. 😂😂😂

[TS FAN]

I am saying what I think will happen. He should have no problem with this bunch the way he is running. I don't enjoy anyone dominating, but he has them covered. It is way it goes sometimes.

[Centeroff]

He was talking about the 39 adjusting a shock. 39 has no business being on the track. His whole program is trash. Get out the way chump!

[Stefan2k4]

Once again I HATE it when peopl stop on the track for no reason, but its part of racing...
Here's the solution to that problem. Automatically penalize any car that brings out the caution by stopping on the track 1 lap. The reason they do this is to avoid going down a lap. If a car has a real issue that causes them to lose power and stop, they are probably done anyway, so the lap penalty won't matter.

Seems as though it has been happening quite often lately in both series.

[Clayton_Wetter]

They need to throw a stick of dynamite at one of them and see if they start moving again! hahahahahaaa

And if they don't???? Whoooppsiieee!! :)

[MI Dirt Fan]

Says Pierce broke a valve in the motor last night.

[Mindwalker]

Hahahahahaha. Yeah right! Hahahahahaha

[TS FAN]

Are you being sarcastic or facetious???? :)

Hey Mr Wetter. Bloomie said he has this race in the bag. He sees no competition. I predicted it so I believe him. LOL
My prediction of starting on the pole and leading every lap seems to be coming to pass. It is good for his fans and his team, but the fact everyone else is a 1/2 lap or more behind him may not be so good for the sport. Right now the only surprise in Lucas Oil racing series is when he doesn't win.

Right now the only surprise in Lucas Oil racing series is when he doesn't win.And he did it in a passing points format, no qualifying. He passed cars and gained the most points. He always does well in passing points races. Should have changed my pick Friday, but I wanted to diversify, so I took Jimmy Owens.

[TS FAN]

Betting against 0 these days is very risky. I am not involved in the fantasy game, but I would expect the 0 to dominate through the World at least. I don't remember anyone this much faster with better turning cars in years. I like competitive racing like the other night, but I am not so sure there is going to be much of that unless 0 has an issue

Coming from a person that hates Scott... but also a person that is attending the SDN’s... I’ll say the only way Scott loses tonight is if he overthinks things and misses the setup (he’s does it before for big races... I remember him doing it at Lernerville one year as he started pole and must have pitted 6 times) or if the cushion is there with 20 to go and the 49 is 2nd... but even that is wishful thinking because the 49 has to drive so much harder than him just to rail the berm...

There’s always an outside chance Landers slams him and takes him out, as Landers seems to have hit everything this weekend but the pacetruck... lol

[TS FAN]

I just don't like to see a driver dominate, but that is what he has done and will do for a while. It is what it is
