    Default Who’s Going to DoubleDown (Sellers)??

    Personally I’d like to see Owens or Rice…both have their advantages. Time will tell. Interested to hear others’ thoughts now that some of the other silly season dominoes have started to fall.

    I feel like Jimmy could win Roger a national championship within the next three years. Jimmy has proven that he can still wheel a late model with the best in the business. I do think if Jimmy had a couple more full time crew members that could help take some of the preparation and stress off of him that would help. Driving the hauler to and from the track, working on the car when you arrive, then racing, then pulling out and helping drive home can have a toll on a person. If he could have a full time driver that would allow him to rest while traveling or flying like some of the other drivers to the tracks that are over a 8 or 9 hour drive could increase the performance of the team. I've watched Jimmy race his entire career from Kingsport and The Gap to Eldora, he has always been a hands on driver working tirelessly on his race cars, and increasing his knowledge of how to get that extra tenth of a second. No matter how busy he is, I also know that he has taken time to go to the hospitals to visit his fans and put a smile on their faces when times weren't good. He has gone to funeral homes to comfort his fans in time of loss of a loved one. He has raised a bright and good young man in Nathan. Maybe to some owners this may not make a difference, but I would think that some owners would appreciate having a driver of his character representing them.

    I'm going to guess it's Jimmy. For some reason I just can't see Rice getting it, but I could be wrong.

    Hopefully it will be Jimmy!
    I personally think it would be a great match-up.

    Jimmy Owens would be the best choice.

    Jimmy is no doubt a great driver and great guy. I wonder how much longer he’s got left in him as a full time tour guy

    Unless there’s some bad blood between the two (never heard of any), this should be a really easy decision and that car will have a 20 on it next year.

    Already turned down the Viper ride. If Double Down wants to tour, it won't be him

    Josh If I'm not mistaken he's already raced since the accident.
