He eeks out about one win a year and goes through provisionals like crazy. How long until a more competitve, hungry driver gets the ride, or does he have stock in Lucas Oil and the chassis he runs?

I think its just called mutual respect between 2 guys that are great friends.......don't think Earl owns stock, but he might.
EPJ, is a guy that brings cash to the table. I just don't believe it's enough cash to get into a xr-1 or something other than the garbage he's been running since he left dunn-Benson.

When you say EPJ brings cash to the table: are you talking about the Lucas Oil Sponsorship?
I've always thought he was in the flagship car for the series considering he's the only guy on the Lucas tour with a big LUCAS on the front.
I think it goes more like he and Mr Lucas grilled wild boar pork chops they killed with a bow together.......or something like that.
That will help his cause for sure.Quote:

Especially since Jason Rauen got out of black diamond stuff and is said to be wanting to cash out of his part of that business/ race team.Quote:

It's one small tweak from winning, like all the other cars that aren't.Quote:
