Congrats to JD and Barry
I was in a great mood after watching Kentucky beat Louisville, so we decided last minute to head over to Swainsboro last night. We usually leave there disappointed, but got to see a good one last night. JD had to work for this one. He started 6th -- which is equivalent to starting 20th at racier tracks -- but methodically moved to the front. Had to get a little physical at times, but that's necessary at Swainsboro. Superman earned this win, no doubt.
Kudos to Hudson O'Neal. That kid can wheel. Totally out of his element (and his first 100-lapper), but he started 12th and got up to 3rd before having to check up on a late restart and falling to 6th. Very impressive kid.
Was Swainsboro a crate race?
Yes it was.
YEAH THAT'S a croc
totally agree with you, iam from there & so many times i havent got my moneys worth but that was a great brace from start to finish, Jd really had to get on it to earn that victory, Bronson was a few laps away from being on his rear. Hudson impressed me as well & a shout out to my buddy Jimmy Sharpe Jr for a great run.
What car will JD be in at St. Louis, does anyone know?
Originally when it was first released it was said that he would be there in Randy Weaver's 116...but now with that deal/partnership dissolved it'll be interesting to see what happens. If he goes, I'd look for him to be in the same BWRC he ran this weekend just with a SLM engine obviously. This also raises the question as to whether or not Overton will go in the 116 if it was the car that was registered rather than the driver.
I watched the race at swainsboro and that Barryhorn was hooked up. Had so much bite through the center and off the corner the car was hopping a little. That's sidebite fellas. The hardest grip to find is the grip through the center and off the corner. That new icon might be a sleeper! I was really surprised the overall grip that ride made. He didn't beat beat the big dogs but anyone with common sense could tell that car was working and was very very fast. Look out
I agree. Be interesting to see what guys show up with crate and limited motors. Heard Vic Hill say several times this season during the Southern Nationals tour when he would finish 2nd or 3rd..."well, I just built that one with a little too much motor boys."
don't need a super motor to win gateway that's for sure
