Bobby Pierce @Stuart

He struggled in the heat, but put on a clinic in the feature. Congrats to team Pierce.

beat the best Cherry Picker of all time and 22 other regional racers. Thats a real clinic.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Obviously you've never raced.

[TS FAN]

How true!!!

[pierceFAN]

he rarely has anything positive to say...esp with moyer or pierce

how is it cherry picking when the touring series wasnt even running last night. one could argue where were they last night, as least pierce was out racing

[Jking24]

I love the cherry picking label. The guy makes his living racing as do many others. I know when i go after work for my job i want to get the job that's makes the most money the easiest way possible. And i also know as a guy that races competitively on a local and regional level i want to race against the best competition i can. Im not their for the money so who is he stealing it from really ?

[pierceFAN]

whos to say or where is it written....that says you cant race here there or any place you want?? unless your paying the bills you really have no say so in the matter...calling it cherry picking is an insult to the other racers at that track...at each track there is several locals that can flat out get it...there was several good cars in that field...but to some...if you dont "tour"...your a bum...there is no automatic winner...still gotta race the race...

Im not their for the money so who is he stealing it from really ?I’ll start by saying this has zero to do with Bobby or Billy, my comment.

I actually switched jobs, because the one I was at I was complacent at. It was easy, not much thought involved. I make more money on the hour by quite a bit, but I work 15 less hours give or take a week. So it’s close to a wash. But I’m back to what I love to do. And there is very little room for complacency. It’s doing all I can with my machine, as safely and quickly as possible. And being thoughtful of what my crew needs. I always wanted to return, but the money was good, job was secure, and overall it was a great company.

Our division just had more shadiness than I could take any longer.

The guy races for a living. No other race anywhere Thursday night. I believe the rest of the races he’s running this weekend are the highest paying races in the area. How is that cherry picking?
Unlike a guy that drives right past a large paying show, and drives hours further to take on some weak weekly competition

[golddirt]

I will tell you this much for you whiners, Bobby is not scared of any competition. Before the season started it was announced they would be running closer to home and why not.

[smooth32]

Lol, cherry picker. If you look at the MLRA Stuart race starting lineup and Cherokee's WoO starting lineup, I'd say it's almost equal competition giving a slight nod to the WoO guys. WoO is not that strong. Moyer, Pierce, both Simpson's are pretty strong. Vaught, Looney, Stovall, Johnson, Phillips and Eckrich aren't exactly slouches.

[zooker25]

Bobby is always a threat to win a the World and everyone is there! He made the right decision because everyone but Cherokee got rained out.

[TerryM]

It’s funny how those who want to label other drivers as cherry pickers, are fans of a driver who did a lot of cherrypicking for the first ten or so years of his career.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Oh he!l you didnt say that. You have opened a can of worms for them to defend there boy!

[ILL-DIRTDOG]

Oh he!l you didnt say that. You have opened a can of worms for them to defend there boy!

no need to defend him....go to his web page and look at his schedule..

[TackyTracker]

or his results

[zooker25]

West liberty still going? Thought they had a 11:00pm curfew!

[Dlmfan123]

No Bobby won

[zooker25]

Oh nice. Thanks! Just watched the Brewers win in 18 innings and kept checking DoD. They must have gone to bed

[Zonks32x]

Just so I have this straight...
People are actually complaining that young Pierce hit up a Thursday night race in Iowa. I'm sure every fan at that joint was greatful he showed up. Did any other track within 600 miles of his front door have a Thursday night show going?
Every other driver, except for the full-time WoO guys, had the same opportunity to tow to Stuart if they wanted to.

Not like he showed up at Plymouth, WI for a weekly Sat. night show and beat up on their regulars for $1000 to win.

As my 4m history clearly shows...I am not a Pierce fan, but banging on the kid for racing an mlra event...ridiculous.

If my memory serves me right he picked 8,000 for the 2 wins this weekend so far.

[pierceFAN]

no need to defend him....go to his web page and look at his schedule..

he has 24 $10000 races...and 21 more that are MORE than $10k...typical cherry pickin schedule

Not a fan but anyone that calls Bobby a cherry picker is clueless

Very very well said.

I thought he was refering to someone else my bad

[TS FAN]

The battle rages on. The know nothing crowd that screams about their so called cherry picking. They are not even worth a response IMO

I have been reading this garbage about cherry picking for years and the whiners never make a valid point. Track holds an event and all contestants welcome. End of story

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I thought he was refering to someone else my badHe absolutely is referring to who you think he is. On his high horse looking down on us peons, do as I say, not as I do.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Not quite sure where else made logistical sense for Bobby to race. As a family team, that made it clear they were going back to a regional schedule, he hit the races he should have.

And if I was in their shoes, I’d probably hit about the same schedule. If I had crazy backing and help, ok, maybe one of the two series, otherwise, what he’s doing is about the best you can do financially for a family team.

[formercrewguy]

It cracks me up when I read...."I'm not a fan but...………………" Well I AM a fan of the 32. There, I said it.

[Zonks32x]

Well, I'm glad I cracked you up.

Meant what I said. Not a fan of Bobby. Not a fan of Steve Francis. Not a fan of a few drivers over the years.

Doesn't mean any of them, Pierce in this case,
deserve to catch hell for racing.

[kidrock]

If you look at Bobby's schedule you will see it's over a million dollars in potential winnings so, I would say it's a pretty good schedule. They figured out it doesn't pay for them to run a series.

[klemmabyna]

Zonks: one of the reasons I will read what you write. we don't always agree but I know i'm getting common sense when you post.

a question for all: how the he77 do crown jewel winners ever get labeled as cherry pickers?

[Josh Bayko]

Beats me but more people complain about Moyer cherry picking than Pierce and he’s got a ton more crown jewel wins than Bobby.

[Mason87]

As a fan I would love for pierce and all the other big name drivers to follow Woo or Lucas because I that's the only time I can see those guys at my local track, I can't travel like I use to. I don't blame him for wanting to run a more regional schedule and hit the major shows. He's proven he can run with the best of the best and so has Moyer so to label these guys as cherry pickers is ridiculous.

a question for all: how the he77 do crown jewel winners ever get labeled as cherry pickers?

Good?
I think it boils down to three things.
1) There's alot of people who believe a DLM driver isn't one of the best unless they run Lucas or WoO year after year. (A false premise imho)
2) Billy Moyer has won...alot, all over the place, and that just sets some people off, so any reason to dis-credit his accomplishments is like moth to flame.
Bloomer gets the same treatment. One's a "cherry-picker," the other is "good ol' snort." If they weren't winners, nobody would care or be bothered.
3) It's always easier to spend someone else's money than one's own b/c there's no sacrifice. So driver A or B should be racing here, instead of over there because, "They have the money..."

[Illtsate32]

Well Moyers been racing 42 years and Bobby 7 thats prob why Moyer has a few more right now...

[kazual]

#3 ding, ding, ding And Klem because those that shout the loudest aren’t paying the bills and they see some perceived notoriety or fame in running a national tour. Which is bull stuffings in my opinion. I’d venture that Pierce sells more shirts and memorabilia at a regional event this year than he did at Lucas events last year.

[Illtsate32]

Who knows sometimes personalities get in the way, but...if Bob and Mark get along and Pierces keep getting closer to the secret sauce he has of modern tech that makes these cars so fast then maybe, maybe one day wel see Bobby run a touring series, Possibly with Edwards. I dont ever think Bob will go back out on tour, it will have to be once Bob gets too old or quits for good and Bobbys career progresses, who knows what the future holds...
