Rusty schlenk wins 2 in a row in a rayburn

[BustingRangers]

The car he is in is a 2017 combo car. He's has been on swing arm every night. First race at Attica he started 11th and finished 3rd, then won Mansfield. This past weekend was his 3rd, 4th, and 5th races in it. Qualified 6th at Farmer City and got wrecked in the heat, then won I-55 and Quincy. He may not win any big races this year but he is 3 out of 5 so far, I wouldn't bet the farm he doesn't win a bigger race all season. You are right he probably won't end up at Atomic as he clearly always runs UMP shows with his focus on the Sunoco ALMS and American Ethanol tour point titles and of course the UMP weekly national points. The only reason they went to Mansfield was to test at a bigger track to try to prepare for Eldora's Sunoco show.

To bad he didn't swing by peoria last Saturday night.

Thats right he wont be at atomic because his focus is on ump. Yet in his entire career he has never qualified for the dream or the world.

because that's so easy to do?? only 323 drivers total have qualified for the world 100 in the past 46 years... not a Rusty fan at all but there is a lot of great drivers that haven't and never will make the big show at Eldora..

Big RSR fan huh? The new car is a 4 bar car......

Looks like a swing arm to me...

Not easy, agreed. Many good drivers have never qualified, agreed. Would you agree that Ump races with 15 drivers at them arent the standard for determining greatness in dirt late model racing.

Some of the best races I've seen had as few as 12 racers. We're celebrating Rusty and CJ's victory because for a while now the shinnston moonies have been blasting CJ or anyone who dared say they liked swing arm. So you are free to go back to your lemming party anytime. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, these victories are those first few steps against theoretically superior designed machines.

Is that a PPM J-bar?

[Bigdirtfan]

The journey can be very long when you drive past tracks to go somewhere else where you have a chance of winning. ✌🏻

If winning is what you're after then that journey was well worth it right? Who said you must run where you aren't competitive? If it pays the bill of racing, do what you do best...

I think he was in his own equipment any time he tried to qualify for the Dream or World prior to the last season or so. He's been running for National Champion and running for points during the World and Dream. The AELT has some bigger paying events this season and the Championship pays good.

But like I said, let's just wait until the end of September and see where he's at.

I've seen Rusty race against some good competition and run very well. You sound like a star gazer who only goes to Lucas or Outlaw races so you can watch you're heros. I'll bet you have a house full of them fathead posters.lol

It is CJ's own fault he became irrelevant, not Rockets, or anyone else's. I see no one blasting swingarms, who cares what's under it if it's legal? CJ not willing to change is what people complain about, not sure why anyone would care what's under the car if it's legal.

Rusty can drive a car, and he doesn't have deep pockets, so who can blame him for going by bigger races for a better chance at making money? No one should, unless they are paying the bills.

Whose fathead you think he has? Fighting with Litey to get the latest Bloomer crotch chop one, or with Sideways to get a JD just in a cape one?

CJ going 4 bar would be a capitulation that he was wrong. That is why people care.
