Way easier to win up front, but man have you watched the last two nights at Eastbay? Moran from the back last night and Richards from the back to 4th tonight. I say there has been some dang good racing!

I like Clint Bowyer, seems to be entertaining and from all I've heard a pretty good, down-to-earth guy. But the list of CBR career killers is getting longer and longer and even though O'Neal won the title once, they've never had a standout season from any of their drivers and teams, and it seems funding isn't an issue. Is it possible that their salaries are high enough that they lose some of their motivation?
Josh's biggest problem is he shows up at the track with his helmet bag. It's the same problem all the Bowyer drivers have had. Don O'Neal was probably about the best non working driver that's ever been on either series but the results reflect that. This isn't nascar where 150 people have been fine tuning your ride all week and you show up and hold the steering wheel on Friday and then they go over the "data" and dial the car in. It's a proven fact that you have to be involved in and understand most every sieve of a dirt latemodel to be successful. You slso need people who know your driving and what the car should be doing watching you turn laps. It's very hard to make all the calls in these cars from the seat very very few drivers can do that effectively through their whole career. This is one of the things that makes larson so good so fast. He doesent have a feel he's looking for he just goes out their and looks for speed and he trust that kevin has given him s fast car
Im curious. How many drivers just show up at the track and drive and spend minimal time in the shop. Josh? TMac? Davenport? B Shepp? EPJ? Bailes?
Pennsboro. Yea he was up on the wheel for sure. Will see how Tyler is doing in a couple months. I hope the kid does do well, he just seems to fade as the season drags on. The kid is young and I'm sure he has a great deal of distractions which come with a single guy his age.
Two keywords.....Mark Richards!
Erb fades as the season goes on because the tracks dry out quicker in the summer and he is clearly a hammer down driver. However, I will say I was impressed with Erb running well in Arizona. I think Randall has figured out how to get the car tight enough in the slick and Terbo has gotten a little better with the right foot on slicker surfaces. A combination that seems to be working well so far this season.
Josh lives approx 4 1/2 to 5 hours from Shinnston.
I personally think it shows how much of a team effort makes a difference. I mean even his daddy says there is nothing special about the house car, it has the same setup and parts as all the other Rockets have. Right?.......or?........
