Because with all winning they're doing that would be a great opportunity?

Wouldn't Shane Clinton technically be the capital house car??

I'm sure the BWRC Madden drove this year has some Longhorn technology in it, that surely didn't hurt their performance none vs previous drivers in that ride.

I was just guessing? But Marlar said he was racing, he was very good in Capital, he is pretty close to them?,Marshall ain’t going away....so it seems to fit??? I guess we will all find out in time.

I believe with his morals/beliefs, he will fit in well at DB! Big C would be happy!

Marlar isn't going to DB, BPM, bowyer, dream team, LL, Rocket1.

It'll surprise alot of people

If not DB then a second landers car may be a landing spot or if TMac leaves the labonte's the house car may be available.

Wherever he goes I hope he has the opportunity to keep the cars at his shop and maintain them as he has the last few years, he and his crew are top notch on the maintenance and prep work.

The Larry Moring car and the Warrior 1G keep coming to my mind.

The Larry Moring car and the Warrior 1G keep coming to my mind.
If he goes to the Warrior car then Mike Marlar will be done racing with in a year. No way would anyone consider that a National Team!
deadringer
11-04-2018, 08:15 PM
I think he did a very short stint in the Warrior car a few years ago. Don't see that happening.
MI Dirt Fan
11-04-2018, 08:21 PM
It's not LL, Longhorn nor Moring. I don't want to be that guy to spill the info all over. Because I'm not even sure what I was told was true. But I am pretty confident. The ride though I don't think has much national tour experience.

I wonder if it could be the team Kinzer ride??

Purely a guess, but I would say Dunn-Benson.

I hope that the new ride allows Mikey and josh to keep it at his shop And allows them to do their thing.. mike knows what it takes to go fast and josh knows what it takes to help mike go fast.. they are a good team along with the other guys..

I don’t think GR smith would / could drop the kind of money delk was willing to on an annual basis , I think if he was willing to do that Davenport would still be there. But you never know

Clanton IS the house car.
2 weeks ago somebody made a post about capital going out of buisness... now all of a sudden they are gonna make a house car.... LMFAO.
Clanton IS the house car and they are selling plenty of cars.
Was it Marshall Green saying Capital was done?
I havent seen that anywhere but on here from some ignorant haters.

YES, he is.
I'm sure the BWRC Madden drove this year has some Longhorn technology in it, that surely didn't hurt their performance none vs previous drivers in that ride.
You'd probably be wrong, there wasn't anything wrong with the BWRC before Madden got BACK into it. The ICON was working fine when Davenport drove it, but the Hatfield engine was a dog. A week later when Bailes got in with a different engine they sat on the pole and won with it. Now having said that I'm sure Madden, Barry & Lance have refined the setup more to Chris's liking. Since they've been running more with Madden now all season it would only make sense that the car and setup evolved, but that's racing, setups are always evolving. Its short sighted and petty I think to give credit to Longhorn for BWRC/Madden success this year. Did you think the same thing when Madden switched from Bloomquist to Longhorn, "I bet that car has some Bloomquist in it."? Or maybe back in 2005 when Chris moved from BWRC to Bloomquist did you think, "I bet he put some BWRC in that Bloomquist car."?
Barry has been building fast high quality race cars for DECADES, even before Mark Richards and the Labonte's owned a tubing bender. They don't strive to build 200+ cars a year, they leave that to the Walmart racers who need what everybody else has to feel included. Bottom line the BWRC was fast before Chris got into it again. Barry's cars aren't always on a national tour, but that is more a reflection of sponsorship dollars than quality of product.

Anybody that knows what their looking at could see the car had cornerspeed and good posture. I really doubt they changed anything but motor and driver preference in the base setup. We have a icon around my way that has been bad fast since they got it

That Elijah and Booker were sitting around the campfire with me this weekend??? I'm 100% positive.
The conversation is still a little cloudy, but they were defiantly there.

I suppose Raymond Childress could decide to bring back his racing operation in 2019 with Marlar
in the seat.

They were being defiant too...........wouldn't let me stand up too straight.
Mikey teaming up with some guy named Birky from Iowa is what I'm hearing.

Man don't even say that!!!! :mad:
It makes all kinds of sense that it would be Randy Weaver. They are close logistically and Randy needs a driver. We also saw one of Randy's sponsors (AF Stone) show up on Mike's Longhorn this year.

It's gonna happen.......Marlar and the kid from Iowa going to be a lethal combination once Birky shakes the rust off.

Tyler Bruening?
Those guys always have nice stuff. Not sure how much of a "national team" I'd consider them tho.
That TB kid, what chassis is he running?
thehammer
11-05-2018, 03:13 PM
He has a capitol
Capital huh.....
So, just spitballing here....
Capital essentially has Clanton on the national scene with no other real feedback from the road. Bruening from what I've seen has some talent and what looks to be good support behind him. Hypothetically of course, let's say they wanted to bring in a mentor on the road for this young guy. If this mentor also happens to bring a sponsor or two, previous relationships with the chassis mfg, and might know where you can pick up some motors and a hauler real quick, that just might could work.
Maybe if you're the chassis mfg and support behind your current driver is less than thrilled with how the season went it might be good to help establish another national footprint to help your established one, or to ensure you stay visible in case someone decides to bolt or race more regionally.
Just a thought.
