Saw this posted on X/ twitter.
The pits continue to shrink week by week.
And talking heads from Flo and other outlets will continue to talk about how much the sport is “thriving”. Drives me crazyQuote:

They could make the trouble on the Gaza Strip sound positive! They never ask the hard questions as The world is full of sunshine and rainbows!
Strong rumors that he is going to The Bruening team replacing Clanton. It will be stange seeing the #157 in a red car.
Biden takes down another Race TEAM ! FJB !!
Biden didn't put the downforce in the cars. He isn't why we went from old 18 degree engines from being competitive to guys running out of fuel at Eldora.Quote:

^^ Bruening posted yesterday that their 2018 hauler is for sale....to make room for a new one. I think Mikey will be just fine if this pans out. Funds don't seem to be an issue and his talent speaks for itself.
This begs the obvious question...where does Coconut end up? Or is this the end of the line for him...
That’s the hauler that Tyler has been usingQuote:

Marlar is always fun to watch. I would have no problem with not seeing Clanton again.
Marlar’s been good in everything from Rayburns to Rockets, Capitals, and Longhorns too. He’d probably be good in a Kryptonite too. He seems to adapt fairly quickly to whatever chassis he’s in. Pretty cool watching him rise up from the old BoB days into one of the 5 or 6 best in the sport.Quote:

If there was an award for the best driver /racer who gets the least amount of hype , coverage, and fan fare…it’s Mike Marler. That guy is always lurking in the front or charging from back in the weeds to the front almost all the time.
I remember Mikey coming to Tyler County in 2004 for the Hillbilly, he was in a steel block, I hadn't heard of him at the time. He ended up winning beating some very stout cars.
The mean green 16. If I recall some cheap ignition component or a throttle spring broke while he was marching to the front. Without that happening he might have won, the cars was on rails. Forgot about him driving a Bloomquist, I think he ran a Warrior and a Bloomquist for Wells back in the day; I think he won one of the big ones at Columbus or Magnolia in the Bloomquist.Quote:

Mikey is pure class on and off the track!
