    I am gonna agree with the amount of money he was gonna give them they should have gave him a deal. To me it was not very smart business on Wright end hell the hauler and trailer if new was probably close to 500 thousand. I will call DUM ASS on this one.Probably 15 to 20 grand in parts and materials in a new car plus labor not very smart

      If Baird will let Page do his thing they should do well. He won in about 4 or 5 different brand chassis last year he has the magic touch on a grt like no one I have seen .

        We work hard on the cars. there are 4 of us in our shop and Michael is definitely the "brains" behind the operation but its mostly just hard work. we work on these cars everyday and have a maintenance schedule second to none.

          That's what I'm saying barry could have sold the car at his cost and not lost any money on the deal. If Baird just bought 1 motor for barry it would have covered any profit he would had made on the car. As it is now the lost of Troy is money they will never recover. Your right about Barry he's a business man so unless he finds someone to replace Baird it will be a short season for him and JD because Barry is not going to spend his money to run a house car.

            Look at J.D.'s new BWRC "Icon" car. I don't see hide nor hair of Baird's name on it.

              If it's the crate you are referring to, that was someone else's car

                Pretty sure Barry Wright's been around the block a time or two. He probably has a good handle on how to run his business after 40 years or so of building winning race cars.

                Also pretty sure he will race as much as he wants to this season. No doubt they'll race well into the fall if not later.

                  I think theres more to it than what their saying. Maybe Baird wanted more say so and instead of anyone saying his an ahole they found a polite way to let fans know. My opinion
                  If I havent offended you please be patient Ill get to you as soon as I can...... and yes Im a Bloomquist fan...deal w it!!! WWG1WGA!!!

                    You're right cutman, I think I was looking at photos of the crate car from Savannah.

                      With that much sponcer money baird would want to be in control and barry has gone down that road w cbr plus its his bussiness.

                        Tsand I'm so glad you know what goes on @ BWRC so much so that you must have been involved in the discussions with Troy. Please enlighten us how you know so much about this! Did you forget that Barry has operated house car teams out of his shop, with his money, PLENTY of times before? Or were you not invited to those team conversations in the past?
                        Please make sure you continue to stop by BW shop and investigate all that goes on to keep everyone on here posted of the JD/BW team.....cause you're gonna be shocked that they could actually have their sh&t together enough to NOT need someone who can't stick with a decision between breakfast and lunch on the same day. We will see just how badly not having Baird actually hurt the 49 team.....

                          Nine times out of 10, Barry owns his house cars....Baird never was buying the cars or motors for JD. You'll see very soon when they announce their motor deal for next year just how wrong you are. And he was never giving them a hauler either. There are always way too many strings attached with Baird. Check your sources.
                          In fact, just quit posting you're so far off.

                            Pennington had the equipment for 8 weeks. With no help finished 2nd 3 times and Baird went on to the next driver. Maybe this deal will last a little while. Page can definitely wheel a car

                                Aint that what I said. Ive known Barry since Buck Simmons drove for him. It floored me when he partnered with CBR. And since hes been down that dead end he has learned not to put up with that kind of bs. IMO he told Baird where to step off. The end
