    Default Silly Season Projections

    As we are heading into the back half of the 2018 racing season and approaching the Crown Jewels, I thought maybe it would be fun to project any Silly Season moves. Personally I can't see Bobby Pierce back with Dunn Benson. There hasn't been the progression that I think they thought there would be. Additionally he was much more dominate in their own equipment. I think CBR also has to make a change in the 14 car. Any other thoughts?

    Pierce has been running against much stronger competition week in and week out. I think he's done a fine job considering he's never raced at many of these tracks before this season.

    Yes, Pierce was dominant in his back yard and the tracks that he liked therefore would travel to. You are right, running a national tour full time and learning, new tracks, a new car, and racing against tougher competition has really slowed down his win percentage.
    I swear some of these threads I'm reading today.

    I was thinking the same thing. Full time Lucas is a pretty big step up compared to Hell tour tracks and competition. Dipping into some WoO/Lucas events here and there isn't going to help in the long run.

    But on the other hand he also needs to be provided a car that can actually finish a race running and or not smoking.

    Really, someone is going to put all them did not finishes at Pierce's feet? Night before last, Pierce has a sticking gas pedal and probably over whines engine. Last night he blows it up. Anyone see anything but rookie mistakes here? One a gas pedal should never be built so it can stick. Second, have they ever heard of a leak down test, to see what is happening inside that engine. I am guessing the valve lash was never checked. Pierce finishes well when the car finishes. Maintenance cost him 4 or 5 spots in the LODLM standings. Add that to new tracks and it makes it a little hard to do well. It was hard for EPJ also. Five years and one win.

    Bobby had a rough start to the season but, has been running a lot better in recent weeks but, has had many dnf here lately that has cost him. I would hope that the Dunn Benson team knew there would be some learning curves the fist year and would give Bobby a second year but, in today's world it's win now or down the road you go.

    I don't believe EPJ was with DB for 5 years this second time around? That would have put him in the DB ride in 2012, think he was still racing with BLR then.
