Winger out of a ride?

[KTMLew]

Guess the free-for-all set-off some stuff.

[King1]

HA! I suppose GR came to the realization that Air Force costs too much in junk equipment and Gary isn’t that great of a setup guy.

[Jed]

I’ve never driven a race car in my life, but it seems if you’re wanting to travel and race full time, driving it at 99.9% is probably better than 101%. I do like Ashton tho. Hopefully GR can find a new shoe because the last thing anyone needs is GR back in the driver’s seat.

[TDRacin®]

@King1 If that's the case, it doesn't say much about the competition down there, huh?

[TBSprintFan]

The real air force couldn't afford to have Ashton Winger as a pilot as he would crash and burn too many aircrafts just like what he does to race cars. Lol

[ImCryn2]

Raise your hand if you thought this would last a whole season when it was announced.

[Josh Bayko]

The article says GR wants a driver to run the full Lucas tour. Why doesn’t GR just do it himself? He’s be guaranteed to improve as a driver if he ran a full season or two with the best in the nation.

The only two free agents that make sense are

A.) Nick Hoffman
B.) Darrell Lanigan

[Rajflyboy]

GR Smith has had a lot of bad luck over the years. He was here at Lancaster a few years ago leading a race and on a restart got totally plowed into the wall by Downtown Michael Brown. Nasty wreck.

I wouldn’t even put Lanigan in the car. I don’t think full time touring interests him anymore.

I say Hoffman or a regional hotshoe like Bailes

[JabberJaws83]

I think Lanigan would give it another crack if he was strictly a helmet bag driver and met the car at the track

[Pennsboro32]

That’s pretty much what he stated in this weeks DirtonDirt article.

Josh Richards in 2023 ?

[4wide]

I have watched Winger a lot thought it was bad move to get in 89 car when his team was running really good. Winger flat sucked at Senoia Thursday and he is usually dominant there.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

I would go with Hoffman. Given the right opportunity I think he would do well.

[Dlmfan123]

I think u will see Hoffman in the Barry wright car more often

[Drop Shock]

With the way a lot of these tracks are prepped now, I’d go with Josh Rice. He can rip it better than 99% of the drivers in the country

[JustAddDirt]

I don’t think money would be a problem with Rice’s current team to run LODLMS, or a touring series. I believe everybody associated with that team is got a full-time job. Touring and having one of those darn “jobs”would be a very difficult job.

been that way from the beginning , just not as many now , I just laugh at them and move on , no problem here ........

[Dlmfan123]

“Rice can rip it better then 99% of the drivers” LOL. Maybe if Lucas races at Florence every week

Yes, but a lot of us have been around this sport a very long time, like 50+ years and have seen many different drivers and how they race and take care of their equipment and so far Ashton Winger has wrecked a lot of equipment and mostly its been his fault. He should go and watch Days of Thunder and learn from that. Lol

You’re mixed up. You’re looking for the tech forum. This is the “gossip” forum. You’ve been around way too long to not know the difference.

[fastford]

do you mean by drop shop telling the truth it only belongs in the tech section ?

[TerryM]

No, I meant what I said. If you’re looking for intellectual stuff, go to the tech forum. You’re not going to find it on the gossip board. It is what it is.

[Escobar]

Josh Richards in 2023 ?

IMO, Josh is just racing to race. I hope I eat my words, but we’ll never see Josh as a contender again, and no…Rocket1 isn’t an option.

[Andrews42FAN]

Rumor is his middle name is Danica

[fastford]

I dont think drop shock was trying to be technical , just factual , but I could be wrong .....
