Lanigan has only been with Bowyer since October of 2015, so basically one full season so far. He won a hell of a lot of races the year before that and just won last weekend.
I'd say Jimmy Owens is closer to being out to pasture than Lanigan, at this point.
I think they're getting to the point where a lot of them prefer to strap their ass into a chair and vote for no points (or show up points which have the same effect) so they can have a night off.

Lol, sure can't blame them. The road will drain you mentally as well as physically. Throw in the stress of staying on top of the game... and you're looking for as much time off as you can get!
These guys deserve way more credit and appreciation then thay get!!
I think national touring burned him out both emotionally and financially. He elected to go make real money instead, and as I understand it, he's making a lot of it. He's not exactly a young man anymore, and having a healthy near egg for retirement is the smart decision.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if he returned to racing at some point. He keeps a website going for whatever reason.
