Nothing fruit loops

What a race. That last caution, boo. But I still think Bobby had her. Helluva a race, and good driving by all them front runners.
That race last night is why I love this sport. When the racing is that good it doesn't matter who wins; you still have to love it. Four different chassis types in contention for the win right down to the wire too!
Does anyone know what happened to Owens? I figure he must have had a flat to finish at the tail of the lead lap.
It really was a great show. It seemed as if when anyone would show Pierce a front fender he'd just turn it up a notch and put some distance on them.
I don't know as I've ever seen as much rear steer in a car as what Brandon Sheppard was showing. Half or more of the left rear was disappearing behind the sheet metal ahead of the wheel opening when he got back on the gas getting off the corners.
Think about this, Could it be, that Bobby is never really off the gas? Trail breaking helps for a smooth transition in the corners. The guys that use the throttle as a on/ off switch aren't as smooth and have trouble getting drive off the corner. This is one of the things that is called talent. It's hard to do well.
Remember when everyone criticized Bobby for winning on the bottom...like that's easier or something smh...now you can't get him off the cushion
Make no doubt about it, Bobby can still run the bottom if needed. Eventually I think he will run the bottom and middle, only moving to the cushion when needed, like Moyer, Birky, Owens. It's a learning curve. While that cushion pays off, it's dangerous. One Ah Chit, wipes out ten atta boys. Bottom line is, you got to run where the guy in front of you, isn't. The ability to run low just for a few laps won the Fan Frenzy race at FALLS this year. This kid has all the tools. He is just plain fun to watch. B Shep is also.
