Strickler

[noitall93w]

Why does it sound like he’s about to cry in every interview?

[84wedge]

I'd probably cry after coming in with the points lead, winning my heat then coming in light, taking a provisional to make the feature and wrecking my brand new car and losing the points lead all in one fell swoop too.

[Burke1118]

Gotta keep the poor old modified driver act goin....... sucker more people into feeing bad for him and paying for him to go tear up some more (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)e

[dirtcrazy4u]

The way he's tearing sh*t up, he mite not make the hole season on tour. How many cars so far this year ? Either clipped or junked.

[Jking24]

The way he's tearing sh*t up, he mite not make the hole season on tour. How many cars so far this year ? Either clipped or junked.The first couple of clips were rockets that's not his fault

[zyoung25]

Last night's roll over was a fairly easy roll. They appeared to be fixing that car when we left last night.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

DOD article this morning says car owner is frustrated & they may not be racing tonight & don’t know what the future holds?

[Pennsboro32]

If Sims doesn’t understand there’s ups and downs in racing, he doesn’t need to own race cars.

[84wedge]

The first couple of clips were rockets that's not his faultLast nights wreck in the feature wasn't his fault either. Jimmy Owens wheel fell off right in front of him and that's what did it.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Sims has been more than generous. He probably expects some payoff.

He's fielded 2 brands of cars.

He is a business owner. Employees couldn't even get the car to make weight and ruined a good night. That mistake lead to a rollover.

He'd probably fire a concrete guy for not taking care of his equipment.

[Highside Hustler25]

Lite at the scales. Does that really surprise anyone? Good help is hard to find.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Lite at the scales. Does that really surprise anyone? Good help is hard to find.

With all the rules mandated weight (door plates, fire systems, etc) and heavy parts that some use, I can't believe anyone is light anymore.

[WisWildManFan]

Can’t believe no one has laid the blame on Mallory yet

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Strickler blamed the crew. Is Mallory not the chief?

[WisWildManFan]

I meant on this board

[Jking24]

With all the rules mandated weight (door plates, fire systems, etc) and heavy parts that some use, I can't believe anyone is light anymore.I have to agree with you pretty much the only way to be under weight is running a dangerously low fuel load. And by dangerous I mean you may run out

[NeedforLM$peed]

2 people were light after qualifying last Friday at Farmer City...

[TBSprintFan]

I have to agree with you pretty much the only way to be under weight is running a dangerously low fuel load. And by dangerous I mean you may run out

And why would you debut a brand new car at a track where and when others are also wrecking/totalling them. If I were the car owner, I would be pissed too.

[Highside Hustler25]

Strickler blamed the crew. Is Mallory not the chief?

🤣🤣🤣🤣....🙃😮🙃🥴.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Judging by DoD article, sounds like this pairing may be over.

[ImCryn2]

I have to agree with you pretty much the only way to be under weight is running a dangerously low fuel load. And by dangerous I mean you may run out

Strickler, on dirt on dirt, said they were close at the scales after qualifying and they put extra fuel in for the heat. Obviously not enough.

[Mod Runner]

Strickler being a hands on driver , I would expect him to have the car ready tonight no matter what.

[NeedforLM$peed]

They said currently light showers and they plan to race tonight. We'll see.

Not when the owner says NO!

[chupp n bloomer fan]

The first couple of clips were rockets that's not his faultJust a question, why weren’t the clipped Rockets his fault?

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Hopefully they stay together. Personally, you can’t throw in the towel so soon. Strickler has talent, I don’t think he’s careless with equipment. Really think unless they are just flat not getting along they need to try and work through this rough patch.

[zyoung25]

Not when the owner says NO!

Backup is unloaded. I wonder what that means?

[WisWildManFan]

They said currently light showers and they plan to race tonight. We'll see.looking at radar idk how they will race tonight

[zyoung25]

looking at radar idk how they will race tonight

Running at 1pm tomorrow

[dirtcrazy4u]

Strickler called out his crew ? Well there's someone I'm not going to bust my b*tt for if I'm a crew guy. Yea it was some bodies fault but that stays in house, you don't point fingers. Especially not from the driver. Waaa, I don't like the 2 brand new rockets, there goes 100k, Waaa, it wasn't my fault. Waaa the owner wants to quit on me. Grow the f*c up.

Here's a thought why don't you go help with the program.

[dirtcrazy4u]

What he better realize is he has a sponsor that's behind him 100%. After seeing what he's been paying out with nothing to show for is making that cash cow have second thoughts. Has he gone anywhere so far this season where they had a good race and closed the trailer door up and moved on to the next race ? That's what that team needs right now. If they don't start showing something that cash cow is going to dry up real fast.

[CrankedUp90]

Finally a video of the actual flip. Talk about wrong place at the wrong time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwOU2G34e6c

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Musta had a change of mind. He was highly upset Friday night!

[WisWildManFan]

Finally a video of the actual flip. Talk about wrong place at the wrong time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwOU2G34e6cIt’s almost like he wanted to race Jimmy like it was for the lead after he got lapped just to prove a point. Costly for the owner is an understatement

[84wedge]

[noitall93w]

Car owner should tell him to park the dumb ass mod and focus on the LM

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I heard Mallory is gone.

[Highside Hustler25]

I heard Mallory is gone.

Well ain't that a shocker 🙄

[dirtcrazy4u]

This story is far from over, I say stay tuned. You had 1 alfa male that wI'll not take direction from anybody.

[Mod Runner]

No reason to park the mod. The frequent wins in the mod keeps Strickler on front page. The mod is a good showcase of his racing talent.

[Jking24]

The mod is a good showcase of his racing talent.Plenty of guys out their winning races in a mod that can't line up against lucas or woo. The mod wins mean nothing. All it shows is that he is not committed fully to the latemodel operation witch was demonstrated by showing up to a points show with a backup car that was not prepared

[noitall93w]

This guy gets it^

[Kryptonite17]

Kyle is one hell of a driver and he’ll be fine. He’s had some really bad luck lately. He’s ran well and he’s also ran poorly. It’s been a weird season so far, keep in mind Sheppard still doesn’t even have a WoO win yet this year. Personally I think the choice to run the WoO tour was the wrong one, even if he was first in points leaving Florida. I feel like he would’ve been better suited to run Lucas which he raced several times with last season with. Vinny leaving is tough I’m sure and Cody is not the answer but I still think he’s going to have some success this season.

[NeedforLM$peed]

Brandon Sheppard won a WoO race at Cherokee a few weeks ago. The last 5 WoO features were won by non WoO regulars

[Mod Runner]

Strickler keeps his edge by racing his modified and winning. There are quite a number of late model racers who run national tours and don't race quite well enough to win. If they raced a Mod and won with it , they would most likely be more competitive with their late models. I think Strickler has the right plan to be successful in a Late Model.

When you get out of a mod and get in a LM, the LM feels like a jet fighter.

[zyoung25]

Don't the Burton's own his mod? They also sponsor the late model. It might be one of those deals, they want him to run their investment instead of letting it sit?

[Thedoctor]

Don’t guys like Pierce and Bloomer jump into mods occasionally among many others, Marlar races trucks maybe once a year, are you telling me all these guys aren’t “committed” to late models. Come on man, if they can afford it and have the opportunities, why not go and have some fun.

[Pennsboro32]

Kyle will get some wins this season for sure. He's too dang good. I wish he would have ran Tyler County tonight because he's very good there.

[Thedoctor]

And did Strickler not have his mod at Volusia when he took the late model points lead ?

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Is he racing anywhere this weekend?
(Tyler County-Hagerstown-Port Royal)

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

There is a big difference between double duty and occasionally running something different.

[riddle28]

And did Strickler not have his mod at Volusia when he took the late model points lead ?

the mods and late models dont race at the same time at volusia. i think loenbro was prepping his mod down there

[Thedoctor]

Thank you for the info riddle. And I thought Strickler did just do this occasionally but I’ll start paying more attention to how often he is doing the double duty on nights he’s running for points in the lm.

[Jking24]

And did Strickler not have his mod at Volusia when he took the late model points lead ?Yes he did the same lead that was considered unsurpassable but he lost less than a half a dozen races later.

[dirt33]

Story on DoD today indicates that the Boone WoO event was Stickler's first usage of a recently-acquired "distinctive black hauler that used to belong to Scott Bloomquist".

I assume that must be THE infamous hauler then...? Or did Bloomquist have another (different) black hauler before or after the Texas-built fiasco, that would also stand out?

[Hoosier_Dirt]

What happened to the PCC white hauler? Wasnt it fairly new?

[Highside Hustler25]

Dirt33, Scott had a prior black hauler. Probably that one.

[Dlmfan123]

Nope…. The one Strickler has is the one Bloomquist had…

[Mod Runner]

If I had known Kyle had the former Bloomquist hauler at Boone , I would have gone over to his pit stall to check it out.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

If I had known Kyle had the former Bloomquist hauler at Boone , I would have gone over to his pit stall to check it out.I think it looks bad a$$, seen it when it was brand new at The World 100.

I wouldn’t touch it. First thing your hauler needs to be is reliable.

Anyone sure it ain’t the one he bought off Billy Jr I think it was that was a regular S&S I think?

[zyoung25]

Someone is color blind if they said that international hauler is black, it's more of a gun metal color. The S&S was was definetly black.

I remember walking around that thing the first night he had it at Eldora. Someone walked by and put a big man Johnson on one of the front fenders while it was sitting there.

[Dlmfan123]

The one strickler has is not an s&s. It's the lonestar international that scott had

[NeedforLM$peed]

I thought there was a video awhile back of it somewhere at someone's shop maybe? Hot Karls or something. It was sitting in the background. There's a discussion here about it

[chopter33]

casey skyberg just sold a beautiful gun metal grey hauler.

[zyoung25]

The one strickler has is not an s&s. It's the lonestar international that scott had

I'm not saying Strickler doesn't have it, but it's not black. That was my point.

[dirtcrazy4u]

Do you remember when a guy could race a full season on what these idiots spend on these stackers today ? Dumb, Dumb and Dumber.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

So, what happened to Craig Sims white hauler? Is he still driving for PCC?

[LeafMaster41]

I have to say I enjoyed watching him irritate BShepp last night, they got so focused on re-sliding the other they both sunk back through the field. It was hilarious to watch, like watching someone at a picnic swatting a bee and running from the table. The bee had a great time. Congrats to Madden on the win!!

Congrats to Madden on the win!! if by irritate you mean bounce off of and clearly demonstrate he's not capable of running at that level. Sure yeah that was entertaining. Madden and Sheppard went back slide after slide with no problems. Then stickler comes in throwing hale Mary's like it's the last lap for 100gs clearly championship material. It was shaping up to be a good race before that. Hated to see those last few cautions. Sheppard seemed to be better on the long runs. I think him and Madden were gonna have a good race if it had stayed green.

If he hadn't got spun he was going to irritate him a little more.

Don't get me wrong I'm not a Strickler fan, quite the opposite, but you could see BShepp getting frustrated and letting him mentally take him out of his race. Strickler tears stuff up, a lot of stuff and that's why I don't like him. His style is "Rockem Sock'em Robots"(ask your dad) and hope for a good outcome, similar to Booby P., but maybe worse and without the Beverly Hillbillies and Ellie May to back him up. Everybody knows I'm not a Rocket fanboy either, for many reasons, so getting to see them sink each other was a two'fer. Icing on the cake was a Madden victory. Christmas came early. Later.

Frustrated with the way Strickler was racing him I’d imagine. He ran Sheppard way up the track twice coming out of two and threw a Hail Mary slider in 4 that would have ended terrible if Bshepp didn’t slam on the brakes and turn under. Then another time Strickler door slammed him in 1-2.

Man, I could be totally wrong, but I think the fancy disaster was black. Don’t have the desktop on, but I swear it was black.

[Jking24]

The hauler is definitely more of a gun metal but most of the pictures put out when they were promoting it were taken in the evening to help show off all the underbody lighting. It definitely looks black in alot of those pictures. I know I've seen it in person several times but the pics of it all lit up at what stick in my memory

Can we just give Rocket1 the championship trophy now, call it a season and let whoever is left go off and race wherever.

[dirtcrazy4u]

I said it at least a month ago. His car owner was all in, but he wanted longhorns instead of xr-1's. He couldn't get along with cody, gone. The guy is all about himself. He thru his crew under the bus, you as the guy paying the bills can only put up with excuses for so long.

I hope Strickler lands on his feet, his presence driving a DLM is good for the sport in my opinion. As for the PCC team I hope they regroup and stay in the sport next season. We do not need to lose a well funded team on the national level.

[NeedforLM$peed]

How well funded are they. It's the second week of May and have already shut for the year.

SSI was close to the same fate. Still might be.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

[Barbecueboy]

They are only well funded if the funder wants to still throw big money at the fundee.....attitudes and bad juju can sour that sweet milk in a hurry.
