Now that you say that where is Phil?

Is he ok?

Ok i was editing this while you were posting this. Ok yea I didnt figure that into account. My bad.

Hes in 4m jail.

[Raceready]

I'm going to guess with T-shirt sales and or other contingent money he gets.And he gets a ton of sales i would say. The races i went to he was he had the longest lines of anybody else on vendor row. I am not ashamed to admit that I bought $80.00 worth of merch at 1 race and $35.00 at another!

[riddle28]

and DoD still has him as the #2 driver, not taking away from rtj because he had an equally heck of a year but he didnt win a championship on paper this year. that should make it no debate

Are you sure this is the real SLIDING SIDEWAYS?

Did Pierce win the one race you are basiing your argument around?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Did Pierce win the one race you are basiing your argument around?

RTJ dominated the Lucas series like it had never been done before. Because he didn't win the DTWC, he isn't the best?

[pierceFAN]

Can't help but notice that people can have a civil conversation about pierce without it turning into a bashfest.....common denominator is phil and his many screen names aren't here to chime in...life is good lol and lol some dame more

[riddle28]

Did Pierce win the one race you are basiing your argument around?

he won most of them that most people were at. rtj not winning the points was 100% self inflicted by running over jimmy o also.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Are you sure this is the real SLIDING SIDEWAYS?

Yes sir on that! The imposter of many screen names is gone for now unless theres something idk about. Im sure he'll be back at some point.

[kidrock]

Hes in 4m jail.

Poor Phil lol.........................

I know but, don't tell Phil lol......

[84wedge]

rtj not winning the points was 100% self inflicted by running over jimmy o also.Did you see that track? Less than ten cars finished the race because it was such trash.

[84wedge]

Congrats to Pierce and Longhorn.

[Raceready]

Who be the man with the masterplan, Bobby Pierce with a quick release wheel in his hand ! ! ! ! !

[Highside Hustler25]

RTJ sort of screwed the pooch long before the track went to poop.

At what point in the weekend was the track not trash?

[Buford.Justice]

What track Charlotte?

[dirtluver]

Nice job to Bobby Pierce. DOD had a tough time figuring out who could be number 1 driver. Could of went both ways. But, i think RTJ has a fast car and had a great year. But, i think Bobby Pierce is more control of his car then RTJ. Bobby did some things in his car that was great driving. I think Bobby Pierce is driver of the year, but can't take any thing away from RTJ. He is good also, just not the driver Bobby is. Hudson has got alot of skills also. This just my opinion..Nice to see us talking about racing without someone always cutting someone down. All driver put alot work in there car and driving and traveling to be put down. Can't wait to see what next year will bring. I think Brandon Sheppard is going to be tough.

[Raceready]

Did you see that track? Less than ten cars finished the race because it was such trash.Not to mention how the yellow flags seem to be enough to allow the car that had the most fuel in it to win it ? ?

[84wedge]

What track Charlotte?Eldora during the DTWC

[Highside Hustler25]

At what point in the weekend was the track not trash?

At the start of the 100 lapper I'd say the track had character but it went downhill from there.

[kidrock]

And I knew Sheppard would be right there at the end. I think he has probably practice in a corn field. Just Kidding lol. He just seems to rise to the top in those type of track Conditions. I'm going to guess because in Illinois we get a lot rain in the spring and tracks can have Character.

[lurker]

Say Bobby did make a million plus this year --- question is, in today’s DLM economy, add in ALL expenditures, tires, fuel, rig, food, so forth and so on, ALL expenditures through out the year --- did he make money, or just break even?

[Highside Hustler25]

I read something where Bob Sr. mentioned Bobby banking some money in years past. Considering that this was his biggest year ever, I'd say he made money. How much, who knows.

[Bradley]

RTJ dominated the Lucas series like it had never been done before. Because he didn't win the DTWC, he isn't the best?
I don't recall RTJ dominating when he ran against Pierce......

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I don't recall RTJ dominating when he ran against Pierce......

Wasn't probably that many opportunities, but I give you the World Finals.

[Highside Hustler25]

Races Pierce won against RTJ., I can give you...

Lucas FALS 30k
Lucas Deer Creek 50k
Lucas N/S 75k
Flo FALS 23k
Flo Tyler Co. 23k
XR Dubuque 20k
XR Gondik 20k

[kidrock]

Doesn't Bobby own his own team. I could be wrong here and hope someone corrects me if this is not true but, if that is the case he doesn't have to split the money with a owner. Now I realize he has to pay for help and many other expenses but, isn't this where some of the sponsors come into play.

That's saying something because RTJ was pretty good year.

[Highside Hustler25]

According to Bob Sr, yes he does.

[kidrock]

According to Bob Sr, yes he does.

I thought that too but, wasn't 100% sure. Thanks

[flagone]

I do not vote but when I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how close it was between the 2, I did look at stats more than anything. Particularly in head to head racing. I found that Pierce won 7 while RTJ won 10 times when they raced head to head. So it was amazingly close. They both had quality wins and led their respective series in win totals for the year. The wins at Charlotte are what tipped the scales in the head to head wins and as I said in that Fast Talk piece its why I felt like RTJ had moved ahead. But I also said if there was ever a year that you might consider a tie this would be the one.

Pierce's wins documented in an above post.

RTJ's head to head wins (I only included a prelim feature if both were in it)
Lucas Oil Speedway 3/31 MLRA
Brownstown 4/19 Castrol
Florence 5/6 Lucas
Florence 5/31 Castrol
Eldora 6/8 Dream Prelim
Husets 7/20 Lucas SDN
Off Road 7/25 XR
Fairbury 7/29 WoO
Charlotte 11/3 WoO
Charlotte 11/4 WoO

[84wedge]

I've always felt the level of competition in the LOLM series will put the better driver there over the best in WoO. The winds of change are blowing though.

[Highside Hustler25]

Thanks to Dod, I've come up with these numbers.
RTJ vs Pierce head to head.(no heat races counted)
Flo/Castrol series - 9 races
Pierce 6
RTJ 3

XR mini series 5 races.
Pierce 3
RTJ. 2

WoO/Lucas combined 24 races
Pierce 15
RTJ. 9

38 times they met head to head in A mains (preliminary features counted).

The score - Pierce 24. RTJ 14.

[flagone]

Wins. Nothing else matters. This isn't a points title.

Sorry but 5th and 12th don't matter to me when I am deciding who had the better season.

[Billy_the_kid]

They both had career seasons. RTJ wins no championships and Pierce nabs 3. That should have been the deciding factor.

RTJ dominated the Lucas. I don't care who gives the speech at the banquet. How many races did XR even actually run? I don't think that championship means much really.

I hear ya.I was just throwing numbers out there.
I'm with you on calling it a tie. Both are definitely worthy with the seasons they had.
