Has anyone heard of any new drivers who may be going to LOLMDS?

I was talking about Francis, I meant to type 50+. Im pretty bad at judging ages I thought he was at least early 50s

Francis is 50+

Francis is 50+

Turns 50 next September

Francis is not going back to rocket anytime soon. The news will be out soon on what his plan is, I was wrong about him and Logan teaming again too, it will his team.

As far as Francis having "a few loyal fans" is very laughable. I still see Francis plenty of Francis shirts in the stands around in my area weekly, even some on the street.

Any word if Optima is back with Steve?

You are the one who capitalized the IF not me. I'm just pointing out that being involved in the business you know this stuff. You are overlooking your knowledge of this because you have a bias in the opposite direction (against Mark Richards). If you are not being biased then how could you say it would be a good decision?

28 Year old driver, with lots of fans who drivers for arguably the best team in DLM racing in terms of wins.

23 Year old up and coming driver, with TONS of fans and has a few wins including one of the biggest DLM races of the season.

Vs.

50 Year old driver, with a few loyal fans who had several solid top 5 runs this season but no wins (to my knowledge).

If you are going to spend the time and money to sponsor DLM racing to me it is only logical to get the most bang for your buck. If there are other factors at play then I totally understand the reasoning, but short of Francis being the last name of the decision maker here I couldn't imagine it happening.

I'm certainly not looking down on your DLM knowledge (I watched my first DLM race in 2012). You shouldn't act like my opinion does not matter just because of that fact though, our opinions are equally valid regarding DLM racing 2016 as I expect we have both watched and followed the racing about as much as anyone possibly could. My posts are me expressing my opinion, and explaining how I got there. That is how I learned to operate on the internet, if you don't want the explanation then skip it (it's often times in parenthesis which makes that pretty easy).

Thanks,
Jeff.

After that, I'm convinced we aren't even talking about the same things.......just of the opinion you should " check yourself , before you wreck yourself sometimes.

It sounds like they are.

[Necrosis]

I was told that when Optima was with Carrier Jr, that it was a $50k/year sponsorship. Anyone know how accurate that is?

Sounds like there could be a duck waddling around on the outlaw tour next year.

Not sure on the $, but you must follow the Lucas tour

if bloomquist does have surgery and doesn't heal the quick, and davenport doesn't race the series, I would think the car counts would go up. I also think the racing would be more competitive without them. both of them were always thought of as the favorite at any track. if they were gone i'd have to think of landers as one of the top in points

If Bloomquist does have the surgery on his Rotator Cuff's he shouldn't miss but about3 months total of the racing season.... 6 weeks per shoulder unless he is a whinny A$$ crybaby about it....
