    Actually Ben said he doesn't know what the future holds just yet. Different reports from different doctors, goes to see the top specialist on this injury in 2 weeks which will give them a better outlook on if he thinks it's safe for Jared to get back in a car and when if so.

    You are right, I went back and listened to it again. Ben definitely sounded optimistic but definitely didn't say he was racing again for sure. Apologies for the mistake.

    I won't take him off the list unless it is for sure he isn't racing -- as if he does race I'm sure it will be with the LOLMDS.

    Thanks,
    Jeff.

    Updated to reflect the Rocket House car situation. Also removed Donald McIntosh from possible list for the WoO per DoD article. Also of note is Jared Landers has been cleared to race and will be back on the LOLMDS in 2017.

    The LOLMDS could really use an additional driver or two to hop on board, they are definitely loaded with talent but not necessarily loaded with cars overall. Meanwhile the WoO does not have as much top shelf talent but has a pretty solid A-Main touring around the country by themselves if some of those possible drivers join up as well.

    Currently left Josh Richards as possible for either tour as I believe it is probably a safe bet that he will be racing on one of them but nothing official released yet.

    Thanks,
    Jeff.

    And it will finally put the speculation to rest on who is better than whom.

    I hope he does too -- there are a lot of LOLMDS races on my bucket list that I would like to check off next season. I don't want to put him on the LOLMDS list though until it is officially announced (I was hoping their plans would have been announced by now).

    Thanks,
    Jeff.

    I'd bet Richards' (and a few others) 2017 plans will be revealed at PRI.

    Per DoD, Bradsher is confirmed for the WoO in 2017.

    Not going to be an issue. Randall Edwards has the notebook on the entire tour, end then some. I think not enough credit goes to the crew chief/crew in these equations. At this moment, RE has one of the top resumes in the business. His Championships are at the highest level and they are many. His last stop before Best Motorsports was with Mark and Josh. These guys are up to the task, and they are absolutely loaded for bear with equipment, technology, driver talent, and Championship Mentality. IMO the trio of Best, RE and Josh wins the 2017 LOLMDS Championship, hands down. I'd be willing to bet, they're thinking the exact same thing.....

    Is Dargie going to continue building engines for Best? Or is just bringing the Durham name with him?

    While Josh, crew, and owner might think that, and it would be warranted, they're still going to have to beat the 0. As in, beat the greatest driver to strap into a DLM, and who has comparable equipment and superior knowledge of the tracks. Also, Richards won't be running a series where his dad holds sway with the officials. And finally, there are a few guys who will readily return the favor of they're run into while getting passed (Bend your Steel, Landers, etc).


    I think Richards is likely no worse than second favorite to win it. That being said, he also isn't running a series that caters to his team or one where his chief competition on most nights contains two legitimate threats and a bunch of filler. The Lucas fields are far stouter than WoO. It will be tougher to win the title.

    Senroc just said they had top notch equipment. I would say that puts Dargie out. Lol

    I know that the reason Best got involved with Dargie in the first place is because Best's first driver (Jeff Babco(k ) was driving for Shane Halcomb, and they had Dargie Engines. They are relatively close to each other. I'm sure the decision will be up to Randall Edwards, as he's be given the authority to make those calls in the best interests of the team. But because this whole deal is in association with the Rocket House Car program I'm sure all relevant people are involved. My guess, they make the switch to Andy Durham Ford power. Like everything else, we'll know at PRI.

    I knew they were close on the map, dargie being in Richmond, and the best shop being in st marys, and that makes it easier to get things done in a pinch. I don't recall them having much engine problems this past season either. I guess that question will be answered later in the week.

    The BPM cars never seemed to lack horses. The whole engine deal seems to be monkey see, monkey do on a certain level. There are longtime, established builders (Cornett, Clements, Pro Power etc) , guys with NASCAR ties ((not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ens, Durham, Vic Hill), and lots of good regional shops churning out bullets. Seems if you have the dinero, you can get top notch wide bore stuff from more than a few builders. Having one of them right down the road (a la the Best/Dargie deal) is a pretty convenient deal.
