    He had superman schemed car 4 or 5 years ago at cedar lake, probably one the best looking cars to ever hit the track IMO. Before that when he drove for Hamrick he had the superman emblem in the number.

    If I heard the story right, back when he first started racing, he had a flat or got sent to the tail for something. He came back and won the race, whoever the announcer was at the track called him superman and has stuck with him ever since. The name wasn't just made up last year by any means.

    Most nicknames come from an anouncer. Not themselves

    Eshelman came up with a bunch of them. I remember being at a race and Eshelman was even coming up with nicknames for the support division drivers.

    IMO he's the best in the biz, just for that reason. He's always got some good one liners too.

    I believe that the credit goes to Steve Hixson for the Superman moniker. I remember hearing that Steve was calling him the Blairsville Assassin or something like that at Cleveland Speedway and that someone told Steve that JD's mother or grandmother didn't like that nickname so Superman came about. I remember the silver 49 Rayburn back in 06 I think had a Superman "S" in his number.

    Yeah thanks goes out to Big Steve. I always liked the Blairsville Assassin moniker myself.

    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    He has had that name a long time. And he has had a few pretty good years. Last year, with the lr stuff, yeah they smoked everyones a$$ pretty much. This year, they started out good, started running their chops, and then fell behind for the most part in the 6 car. He has been good in the 116, and him and the Rumley's are a great team. I just think this year has left a sour taste in their mouth, and costs a lot of money.

    Lee Roy is getting up there in age, Kevin can make a lot of cash and be home most nights if not every night, and if they don't give JD an option, he'll get a ride. They are all still good at their craft, but if they don't stay together, so be it. Things change, life goes on. They'll all be ok.

    This is a true statement here. I agree
