I have no inside information….merely speculating
For 50K to win on Saturday, other than the guys following the tour I’d think you’ll see added to the mix…

Mike Marlar
Chris Ferguson
Dale McDowell
Jimmy Owens

Making the trip down from Indiana to meet some friends from GA. Looking forward to the trip. Should be fun.

Ferguson, McDowell and Owens have Talladega on their schedules. Nothing yet on Marlar’s. Overton has the Lucas races on his for the same weekend.

Racing all day & night is still good, but I'm getting older!!! Better not be a threat of rain by Tuesday, or they will probably cancel again!! Seems like they dont want to race lately!! And they call it way too early in the week! We shall see!

When can we buy tickets? It's said buy soon for a month & still none listed. I want to give our $$ (maybe save a little for buying early) but it's not an option! Mark give us an update please! Also, Is the DirtCrow flying south for this race??

Just buy walk up tickets, should not be any issues. Only 3 classes, just 3, only 3 classes folks. The WoO LM folks only allow 2 other support classes. Wont be running stupid late.

I can't see Micheal Page missing this race as good as he is there. Any chance the flash shows up in his crate car?

Lucas has cancelled their weekend in Illinois; weather forecast for this one looks good. Car count will go up bigtime here.

Has Lucas or WOO raced here on the past?

Highlites looked awesome! I could more easily understand a local team loading up if they are budget challenged, maybe only have the one set off shocks for slick conditions or whatever, but traveling teams have the resources to adjust the cars to conditions and RTJ, if he worried about rough conditions he might ought to look in the mirror.. Just sayin, the dude holds nothing back and its not always pretty, so...

got caught up in traffic on speedway blvd , they said the nascrap race had a huge delay and ran late , we sat in same place for 2 hrs . my buddy at track said none of my local boys made it anyway so me and the better half turned it around and came to the house , yall that made it in early enjoy , my 42nd class reunion was earlier this evening and I was running a bit late , but not that late , would have been 115 bucks for us plus atv to get in ........

The track was great! Top to bottom racing. Booby was showing em how to run the top. Bad luck for him. Overton had tires at the end. Hats off TST. Great night. Can’t wait till next year.

That's not normal. There's a story there.

That was a race, Pierce had them covered, say what you want but he was hauling *SS on the top side. Looks like he broke a LR wheel. The one they took off Kyle Larsons car looked like it was ripped apart. Big track, no way, give me a bullring anytime. Exciting.

Pierce broke a brake caliper. Thats probably one of the best races Ive seen at TST! Wonder if they will put a wall in 3 &4?

Bobby Pierce was hauling. He's picked up a lot fans last night. The more he runs the better he's getting. He's still young and running on tracks he hasn't race at before.

So far it looks like the new chassis is working out good for the team.

No, Pierce didn't have them covered, if he did, he'd be 50k richer. Overdriving the limits of your equipment isn't going to get it done. His driving style is exciting no doubt but you'd better have a brand new car with brand new parts on it every time he hits the track to keep up with his abuse.

Strange how Pierce and Larson both split apart left side rear wheels. Remnants of both were quite similar. Wonder if manufacturer has a flaw?

Got to give credit to pops. He always gives Bobby a good piece. He's figured the horn out pretty quickly. I always say, Bobby better hope dad doesn't get burned out and decides to retire. Be a whole different ballgame.

He certainly didn't appear to be abusing his ride.

No he wasn’t abusing the equipment…at least not from where we were sitting. Have no clue what happened to make it fail. He was absolutely flying around the top. Clearly the fastest car on the track until it broke.

When you constantly overdrive your equipment, failures are going to happen. Hence my comment about the car better be 100% new every time because you don't know what's been stressed in a prior race that's going to fail in the current race.
And you can't expect me to believe that with 20 laps to go, all of a sudden Pierce is turning lap times around the top of the track a third of a second faster than everyone else he wasn't stressing things out on his car.

Back in the day, certain drivers refused to run Macon saying "you may not break at Macon but what are you going to break in the nights following racing at Macon?"

When you're in constant "balls deep" mode, you're gonna find the weakest link... 21st place finish...

It's simple, he was just faster. Most of those guys were in cruise mode. Bobby has been known to beat his stuff to death at times, but this was not even close to being one of them. All parts fail eventually.
