Unless somebody ties a piano to the back of the 76....I can’t see anyone beating that car. It’s on a whole different level at the moment. Very impressive to see in person. Hopefully someone can fins a way to at least make it interesting .

I would like to see Tony put a bounty on him for tonight. An extra 1,000 if you can beat him tonight

1k? Make it 10k, and if you dump him you forfeit your whole purse.

What ever happened to good old bad luck? It strikes everyone at some point. Just not for Overton and the Wells team so far at Eldora this year. If he wins tonight it would be 7 feature wins just at Eldora this year. That team is quite impressive this year.

Props to their maintenance program too, they seem to minimize their DNF’s.

Overton is excellent right now, but T-Mac was just as good and arguably better on Wednesday and Thursday. I wouldn't mind seeing a great race tonight between those two.

If he can put 400 flawless laps together he deserves it. We're lucky to be watching history that may never repeat itself.

If he wins tonight it will without a doubt be one of the greatest runs ever because eldora is a hard place to win at.

I don't even remember the last time I saw Overton get a flat tire.

We’ve constantly heard “once in a lifetime” regarding Larson this past couple years, deservedly so. This run by Overton ranks up there if you’re a dirt late model fan. Saw some DLM driver of the year discussions lately, that ship may have sailed. Remarkable.

Interesting read. I wasn't aware they put the car in storage after the double dream, saving it for the double Worlds. https://racingnews.co/2021/09/10/brandon-overton-calls-out-scott-bloomquist-from-eldora-victory-lane/?fbclid=IwAR3X48MMPw48labc_UpEhxRaAHH1LGH-g1xILZdBDa93dRCJtozmEoDOmjU

Everybody at Cherokee had flat or bald tires. Overton had good tires left. 🤔

People just hear what they want to hear. Scott never said anything like Brandon wasn't going to win again. He just said to be aware when running the exact same gear on another night as it didn't work for him. In the Flo interview he was praising Overton for the Dream run and said nobody was going to beat that car if they ran that race over and over. Some people just put aside all critical thinking and hate.

Overton starts outside front row of the 5th heat. So if he wins he will start outside outside front row of the 50th world 100.

Didn't Dennis Erb do that with the car he won the Dream with. Parked it until the World?

Sounds good to me.

BBQ yes I really like Josh's idea if you dump him you loose all winnings.

I don't think you've seen 76's best lap yet. He just runs fast enough to win.

Need to address "one of". He has already had the most impressive run in the history of Eldora.
Barring a flat tire, he will easily finish it off. BTW the first race Thursday was pretty good until
Brandon just say, enough fun and just drove off.

Don't remember if Erb stored his Dream car as well. Don't think it worked as well for him if he did?

Not sure. Dennis ran second and got beat by an illegal car.

Probably the only thing close to what Overton has done is purvis who ran second the first time he came to eldora and then won 3 of the next 4 and was second again in the one he didn't win.

No telling what else he could have accomplished if he had stayed in a Dirt Late Model.
