The worst kept secret in our sport.

It will be weird not seeing Mikey not having Delk on the quarter panel anymore.

I give Skyline Motorsports a bunch of credit for running as long as they did with Clanton and Capital Race Cars.

He's struggled since his runner-up finish in the 2019 WoO points and even then Sheppard could have skipped a race or two and still won the title. Not a bash...just the numbers.

It definitely last longer than their stint with Madden.

I applaud them for keeping 2 full time cars on the road. Blowing (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) up must pay pretty good.

Marlar is fast in everything. Who are the crew guys on that team? Are they up to Marlars level?

Same 2 he has had with Delk.
Car will be operated out of his shop in Tennessee.

it is a bit confusing. Is Marler and Clanton both racing this weekend? What cars? Marler starts this weekend with his new team and Clanton runs his last race with them?????????

Yes. There will be 3 Bruening cars at Charlotte.

Josh Davis one of the best crew chiefs in the pits…….not even sure if they call him that or not, but dude is solid,solid,solid.

Yes it’s Josh Davis & Jerry Sprouse- been with he/Delk for a good while.
He will have his same crew with unlimited funding. We all know he has the knowledge and is a wheelman for sure.
Above all of that: He’s such a super nice guy. I don’t recall ever hearing anyone make a negative comment about him.
Reminds me so much of Jimmy Owens, Dale/Shane McDowell. Still humble after all these years!!

Best looking red car I’ve seen in a minute. Marlar always has clean rides, they’re rarely busy with graphics and needless crap.

They generally start earlier than most tracks. Don’t know if it’s because they are racing complete shows for all 3 divisions or the curfew in place. The qualifying will be done on Wednesday only.
Maybe the early start will keep us out of the cold for an extra hour!😀
Don’t know which is the coldest: Charlotte in November ( usually cold) or Brunswick in late January?
My old bones has invested in the heated clothing for these 2 events and Tennessee 🏈 games if needed.

Fox I remember meeting Mike and Josh at Screven years ago when he drove for Bryson, those two are like biscuits and gravy together. A pleasure to watch and be around.

Looks like Marlar probably brought along some sponsors of his own with CanAm, Petroff Towing, and Mesilla Valley Transport. Everything else on the car is connected with the Bruening family business. BRP is Bruening Rock Products, Olsen Explosives does the blasting for their quarries, Truck Country is the Freightliner and Western Star dealer for their dump truck fleet, Skyline Materials and Skyline Const. are sub companies. Looks to be a very well funded operation.

Maybe the HTF guys should inquire about getting back with Capital, all their other moves seem to be a step back. At least Marshall can give them more personalized tech help for those that are, "chassis setup challenged..."
