Why the name calling for?
I think he started about 5th or so.

Regardless of how many cars there were, caliber of cars, etc. I think it's good to see the Rayburn name again.
Wonder where all the ones on here raced there cars this past week ?
Folks want to have the same equipment as the fastest guys who win the biggest races. Even in UMP land, most teams are going to want the stuff that wins the biggest races, too. Rusty has been very fast at a bunch of different style tracks, proving that the car is versatile and that's a great thing, but it's all been weekly stuff so nobody cares.
It may sell a few Rayburns in the Midwest, but teams aren't "coming back" en masse until a Rayburn wins a pile of Summernats, WoO or Lucas races. To even have the chance to do that, they're going to have to run a pile of those races. That's not Rusty's style.
If that's the Rayburn "house" car. Who is calling the shots on where to race? Russ or C.J?
I think it is a combined effort, CJ is building the new cars and Rusty is supposed to make them look good to sell them, this is per an article that Rusty did on DoD. I hope CJ has built a competitive car and I hope CJ does become relevant again but when Schlenk goes to a couple shows outside of his home area and doesn't make 3 features it cant look good.
So did we get to the bottom of why Rusty races where he does, or is this still under investigation?
Here we go with the rusty schlenk nonsense again. Hes still at 0 wins of significance for the year. How about this phil he puts on his facebook he will be in illinois thurs-sun but then has return to ohio with his tail between his legs cause things got a little to big in illinois over the weekend. He is the all time king of the ump cherry pickers. Now someone will get on here and say you gotta do what you gotta do hes a full time racer. Thats all fine and good just admit that hes a cherry picker and will never be anything more than that. And who cares what car hes in nobody is ripping on rayburn here.
I will pitch in some money to watch him run the whole summernationals. I know going to them until he uses up his provisionals is impressive every year, but to see him run the whole thing would be worth a donation to me. I believe rusty said he has beat everyone in the country one time or another, so lets all pitch in and get this future nascar star launched.
This is the biggest crock of garbage on the planet! Big deal if he picks his races. He probably has half the money in his car than most top notch drivers, why should he go to those! When you pay his bills then tell him where to go. I have been to oakshade a few times, its a tough track, its a drivers track! ps, I'm no big fan of rusty but the jealous bs on here is getting old!
I picked a few cherries in high school....
The man is a racer. He parked beside us at eldora for the season opener. The races finished early that night, he rushed and loaded everything up to go run Attica that same night. Not many guys would want to do that, he has my respect. I never did see how he done that night, or if he even made it in time. They were loaded and gone 15 mins after the late model feature.
How did those checks from Farmer City Thurs and Fri pay out? I have never competed in a dirt late model race nor will I ever so you wont ever see me get one. If I did try to race its quite plausible I would do poorly. I'm a racing fan that enjoys simply trolling on the 4m waiting for people to post about Rusty and then I try to bring some reality to the thread. I'm not jealous of him I just really cant stand him or most of his fans.
