McDowell
Why doesn't he ever run East Bay during Speedweeks?Hasn't been there since 11'.
-
For a team not racing for Lucas points, running East Bay is a financial loss. 1/2 of the races don’t pay enough for the wear and tear EB usually produces.
-
He's not running WoO points but he's still going to be at Volusia
-
Petroff said years ago it was a quick way to burn through sponsorship money for nothing.
-
East Bay is
$5k
$5k
$7k
$7k
$12k
$12k
Volusia is
$7k
$7k
$10k
$10k
$10k
$10k
I think that's only $6k difference. I didn't mean like the first two nights. So subract those. Also hit the Bubba race on the way to Volusia would be another $10k race.
Just a curiosity question is all.

Is that why he sponsors so many?

A driver told me the one time he went, he went 66 tars in a week. I could see why if you didn't follow lucas why you wouldn't want to go. He said he wouldn't never go back.

The track is about the most abrasive surface I've ever seen. The clay has a ton of sand and seashells in it that just eats up tires no matter if its slick or hammer down. And that crap gets in the smallest nooks and crannies of your car. We were finding seashells a year later washing the race car when we went down there.
Also eastbay doesnt seem to fit mcdowell's driving style imo. Volusia seems more fitting. Eastbay doesnt really compare to anywhere else so its not the greatest barometer of success in the upcoming season.
-
Those prices are for the winner,most drivers run for 3 to 500.
-
McDowell’s driving style does not fit East Bay. Just the same as it doesn’t fit Scott’s.
Volusia is entirely different from East Bay.
Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

Could be as simple that he just likes Volusia and doesn't really care for East Bay.

Exactly. And he runs a whatever I feel like doing schedule.

The last time Tim Logan took Francis down there they won $29,000............ it cost em $29,800 to race down there. Not a good idea unless you need a tax write off, have more money than you know what to do with, or you're in the business to sell race cars and parts.

He more or less stays around the south except for a few big races in other parts of the country, and I've noticed that he's way more relaxed that most of the national touring guys. Funny how that works.

Exactly. When the Dillion boys were running mods. They always ran volusia the week before, so of course they couldn’t really run Eastbay because Shane was with the modifieds.

Moyer Jr said Volusia is too expensive for him to run.

I ran the IMCA Florida Series during Speedweeks in 1987. When I got home the driveshaft broke in my hauler and we didn't have a quarter between us to call a wrecker... Got the Milwaukee PD to call.
