That’s because he unhooked the sway bar and was told not to. It messed up the set up. He even admitted it.
JD is good. Very good.
actually in the dale jr download interview, he claimed the truck was faster with it unhooked but the truck owner sabotaged him so he didn't make the other team trucks look bad. How delusional can a guy be.
Bloomquist has always had excuses. He's my favorite driver, but when he didn't win or run well it was usually because "something" went wrong. I remember back in about 94 or 95 at Kingsport, Scott was out to lunch. Couldn't stay out of the way. Got lapped early....well a week or 2 later the HAT was in TN again and I was at the souvenir van talking to Don about the Kingsport race. I asked if Scott was having engine problems or what the deal was. The story was that someone got back there and messed with Scott's car and screwed up the set-up so bad that no matter what changes they made, it just wouldn't get any better. Now this was in the BWRC days, and I highly doubt they left the car alone long enough for anybody to get back there and screwing around with it. It was then that I started taking Scott's excuses with a grain of salt.
Did Davenport pay for that ride? Everyone always talks about hte highest levels are pay to play and JD made more money last year than ever.
I thought I heard Nutrien Ag had something to do with him getting this ride. Don't quote me on that. so that would be the money part and that makes sense to me since they do sponsor his late Model ride and I believe they're a sponsor on the cup cars for Kaulig Racing Team
GOOD LUCK jd!
