Now that is pretty dang cool...

**champion24** · 03-09-2023, 01:37 PM

That's a much better piece than he had before! Better than Marlar too. Maybe even some JD haters will pull for him that weekend!!

I would root for any dirt late model driver not named madden, getting their chance to run nascar.

**Dlmfan123** · 03-09-2023, 04:18 PM

This is definitely the best car any dirt racer has got in in any recent memory

**Rajflyboy** · 03-09-2023, 07:03 PM

So.. how do you think he will do?

**84wedge** · 03-09-2023, 08:13 PM

Good for him. The only one on the Cup series I can remember driving a late model before going there is Redd!ck

**4Barrel** · 03-09-2023, 08:26 PM

Austin Dillon drove a dirt late model.

**Rajflyboy** · 03-10-2023, 04:14 AM

Kyle Busch ran the prelude

**dirtcrazy4u** · 03-10-2023, 05:05 AM

This is all about the sponsor putting him in this ride. Have fun JD.

**ride height** · 03-10-2023, 05:22 AM

I hope he does well. The more DLM stars make it big, the more legitimacy DLM racing will have with the general public. It�s a win win.

All Prelude drivers were NASCRAP drivers -Late model drivers were not allowed to compete with them.

**foxfire2dirtracing** · 03-10-2023, 06:04 AM

If you are talking about � Prelude to the Dream� at Eldora??

**MasterSbilt_Racer** · 03-10-2023, 06:14 AM

I hope he does well, but I care not what it does for DLM racing, nor do I think it needs him to succeed.

**zyoung25** · 03-10-2023, 08:44 AM

Busch also ran and won a charity race at Williams Grove. It pretty good race between him and Jason Covert.

I think JD will do well. He drives his cars pretty straight nowadays.

**Black F** · 03-10-2023, 09:37 AM

im just wondering how an average driver who made a name for himself on them there funny tars a his, got a cup car ride??

Let's not forget the BEST opportunity! A certain long haired hippy took THE BEST truck in the field and finished about last with it!! It's been several years, but it set dirt racers back a lot on the Nascar stage! What could have been!

Just shows Scott was great on dirt, no one can deny that, out of his element he was terrible. Everyone had high hopes kinser was going to succeed when he got the Bernstein cup ride. That was a second class team, kinser was a lot better than what that team could deliver. It's going to be the same when JD gets his chance. No one can deny there are very few cup teams that are elite, the rest are also-rans. JD is in a team car that has no chance of winning or a good showing.
