National Tours in 2017

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Are they running new or mostly new equipment? I was having a convo with someone at Tyler last season and they were talking about the team and how they had been running some older Bloomquist cars. I seem to remember an article about them acquiring one of the Sweet/Bloomquist cars though so I'm not really sure what to believe. All I know is trying to run a National tour with cars from 2011 or 2012 is probably not going to work well unfortunately when most of the guys are putting new stuff together again even during the season to replace the new stuff they started the season with.

Thanks,
Jeff.

All I know is they have Bloomquist cars, brand name engines, and a shiny hauler. And several decent drivers couldn't outrun local yokels.

This is all I'm going to say. It is NOT the Hudkins ride.

I agree. It has to be a human element.

No, I'm saying it won't be the Hudkins ride on tour.

I know who's ride it is. Top notch equipment. Hope it all works out.

Agreed, he's deserving IMO. Jared and Josh Richards are best friends, he should be able to help Jared a lot on tour.

What about that Jameson dude? He was running good on one of the Lucas races I saw on TV. Where does he run at?

Don't think this owner had XR1's last year, not sure about 2017. Knowing Josh will help, having an owner who knows the ropes will too.

Jason Jameson? He races at Florence Speedway. He works (or at least used to work) for Club 29/DLR. He was supposed to run for RoY in 2015 on the WoO but that got shelved by DLR after one start at Screven in February.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Hauler wasn't even theirs if I recall. It was Benedum's.

That's good then. Jared has always been at his best and most consistent in Rockets.

Mikes hauler is red. They had the same hauler when Paul drove the car earlier in the year. Unless Mike has 2 haulers.

Those cars are Maddens old s/b cars, custom engines, and I don't know where the hauler came from. It seemed they just had weird stuff break. Rocker arms at n/s, and he completely nuked a radiator under caution at Lawrenceburg, something I've never seen before.

I believe they bought it off Benedum at the beginning of last year when Wilmoth was driving.

Mike had a blue hauler in 2015 and prior.

Someone would have to have a lot $ they were willing to spend/waste to put him on tour for a whole year

Mike's hauler hasn't been red in years. He bought Ernie Davis' blue hauler and cars a few years ago. He made a deal with Hudkins to let him use it.

just watched the race from down under and i believe the announcer said Francis is running the World of Outlaws. if true that makes 17 following the tour not much room for the locals

steve francis motorsports has corrected me on facebook that they are not following WoO

It would take probably six cars at least to keep him on tour. There's a lot more people who would be a better fit than him. He can drive, but is along the lines of Scott James.

Must have been a bad race or a bad deal. Do you know what happened?
