    Davenports Struggle Is It Over?

    They say all mighty fall. Has Rumleys stuck up attitude about how they dominated finally caught up to the team? Maybe his foot is stuck in his mouth now that they're consistently running midpack in every Lucas race lately? What do y'all think is going on? Why the slump?

    One reason. The cushion isn't winning races right now. Eldora and Knoxville will get slick and have a big cushion and he will find his way towards the front.

      There wasn't much of a cushion tonight at Ponderosa, but right before the feature they went out with the big heavy roller and rolled it in, in both turns. Never seen them do that before.

          This advantage they had was removed. They didn't come up with something new. They are looking for something. The 6 car has not driven well the last several times I have seen it.

              I think Rumley is trying a little too hard to reinvent the wheel at this point. He's extraordinarily smart, sometimes that's a bit of a curse. He should really go back to basics with the car. Or if it really is true about Rumley designing the XR1, then they should get one of them. I mean, his design of the Longhorn is a few years old now.

              It's not Davenport, because he's been da*n near unbeatable in Randy Weaver's stuff.

                    If running the cushion wins the race, then it absolutely is racing. This attitude that running the top isn't racing is for idiots and as*holes.

                        If you are ahead of all the other cars at the end of the race, you win. That's all that matters. Doesn't matter if you did it from the top or the bottom.

                        I don't understand why so many retards think winning from the top doesn't count or on the flip side why it's a bad thing to be a "bottom feeder."

                            Once again, when did we start bashing drivers who run the cushion and win up top?

                              What do you do when there is no cushion , unless you have the talent , or experience
                              you run second to you no who. I mean all you Davenport lovers need to find another winner.
                              or more excuses.
