Thornton Jr leaves Gressel Racing

[tiger]

Yes i can u said he wants younger when in fact stormy is older.

He didn't say he wants a driver younger than Ricky.... Just younger, as in rather than old...

[victorylane]

Jeez, He means he thinks Gressel wants a younger driver in his cars just like Gustin and Ricky Thorton not an older guy. So he's betting the new driver will in his 20's like Gustin and Thorton. He was not calling Ricky old. I hope this helps

Tanner Mullens drove the Gressel Late Model at Longdale, Ok Saturday looks like he will be driving both Late Model and Modified and they will be at I80 Tuesday

Wont last thru the summer

Jake O'Neil it is......

I can't believe this hasn't been brought yet. Mullens didn't last long at all. I think Jake will do well in the car, well enough to keep It? Not sure. I think he will be better than anyone they've had since the split with Gustin.

I thought Ricky Thornton was gonna be the perfect driver for that ride.

Ricky Thornton Jr is much more talented and accomplished than Jake O Neil. I am still wondering why he left that ride

When the owner doesn't pay you crap. It's not that hard of a decision.

[thexfactor0210]

What was the owner paying huskerdirt? Just curious

What was the owner paying huskerdirt? Just curious

I don't know the exact amount, heard it was around 25 or 30% of winnings. Whatever it was, it was enough for Thornton and Whitwell to jump ship. It might be different with O'Neil, but who knows.

Wow yeah hard to live on just that running mainly modifieda
