Who else has strapped into a DLM for first time and won against the big boys?

There has to be a few, maybe a couple?

**Highside Hustler25** · 08-30-2020, 04:48 PM

Bloomer I believe. At that's what his followers have said.

**ZERO25** · 08-30-2020, 05:41 PM

You mean 2nd time?

Kenny Brightbill won a race in his first few lm races way back when.

A guy named Stewart ran good right out of the gate with Barnett, contended for a Knoxville LM Nats 08' & Dream 09' wins but fell just short in the end of them races

I just saw a Dod video on Rocket Chassis, where Mark said Tony was the most talented racer that had driven for him!

Stewarts 1st late model win was in 1998 at Brownstown. He was racing late models way before 08'.

He'd been racing late models for years before that.

Smoke ran the winter nationals at East Bay in either 98 or 99. Might have been the year he ran the 44 shell car in what was the Busch grand national series. I'm not 💯 on the year

Jason covert won his first ever superlate start. it was not his first latemodel start though and it was not against professionals

I remember Stewart in a Summer Nationals race at the old Hales Corners (WI) Speedway, probably around 2000. It was Menards night (or some major sponsor of his at the time), Stewart didn't transfer to the A-main, but they let him tag the back. He ended up getting black flagged for 2 or 3 unassisted cautions.

He was in a Steve Barnett car, but needed it to be more to his liking. Even back then the guy could out drive me blindfolded. It's a complete package thing...Larson is a heck of a talent, as is Stewart. I just enjoy seeing some new names up front. It's good for the sport all around. Think of the kids that can get a pic with Larson (or Stewart) now, but never had a chance when they were in Cup.

Super Late Models........What is the big boy's? What if it was your first time there and 8 of them were entered? What if there were 52? This question can not be answered. 24, 16,22,18, 14,15 32............etc..........
