Runs fair, but not picking up a lot of wins.
So true at the big events
I believe only three drivers have more special event wins than Overton so far this year.
People think if you’re not winning every race, you’re struggling. Same thing with rocket1. Just shows how high the bar has been set by 76 and 1.
Everybody has caught up from last year. We see it year after year.
Sometimes a rule change can throw teams off. I'm not sure if that's the case here with the 76Quote:

Look at this body/interior/deck. Completely legal you say? Guess he's 7 foot 6. Needs a tall cage.
Overton is #4 in earnings so far this year. Only behind Davenport Madden and Sheppard. He was ahead of Sheppard before the PDC.
Thank you. If you exclude his historically great 2021 season, this would be the most lucrative year of Brandon’s career.Quote:

That goes without saying . . .Quote:

Brandon sounds truly appreciative for everything he has, and most remember he used to be out touring on a shoestring with a bare bones team making the best of it. He’s paid his dues.
Josh that's funny because, some fans think Pierce is more likable. Crazy how people think. For me I like both of them equally as well. Both good to their fans and both are really good drivers.
Yep, they both come off as likeable. Simple as that. They are both top drivers. Simple as that. 76 has struggled a bit lately, it happens.
Josh…. Now that is hilarious 😂
76 does more big events
He’ll roll off 2nd when they pay 127,000 to win to at Eldora in September. He’ll be alright
Not sure how or why this thread became about anything other than Overton, but in my opinion Brandon and Bobby are the two nicest guys in the sport. You have to have serious biases against one or the other … to have an issue with either of them.
Both are fierce competitors, that's what I like, both have a following and there merchandise sales I think add a nice chunk of change to there take home at the end of events. Brandon hasn't been having the best lap times to get him up front this year and he's had to come thru the pack. He's still taking home his share of the purse, some think he was the new superman after last year.
BoooooooWhoooooooo,,,,,,,,,
The guy that Bayko responded to is hugging Overtons almonds so tight it's cutting off the circulation. Could be why he's a tick off.
They are both full of themselves.Quote:
