    No offense taken. I knew someone would post this, regardless. Anything Bobby is going to strike up conversation.

      Really?

      Ever hear of EPJ! After his 2nd year of full time racer, he reeled off 5 straight national championships!

            May shock some of you

            I don't really disagree. I mean, I think there are a few others if we are talking decades. Bloomer, Moyer, Birky, Moran, Hommel woulda been, Owens, Richards. It's the same as an argument of whose the best ever. You name one, you discredit and dog others, who are comparably as good.

            He is at this point in that category, and if he continues on dirt and has the success he is currently having, I definitely would keep him in this category. He is very good, I'd just put him in the top young drivers category, not singular.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

              It's a fair statement though. When EPJ won them championships, there was not near as much talent on the Lucas tour. They may even be counting when it first started as NARA before Lucas got it.

                Actually, it was Havatampa, then UDTRA, then Xtreme, then Lucas!....I think, lol, its been a long time ago!

                FWIW....I like Bobby, but he doesn't even have a resume near Kid Wreckits!

                      Not even close.

                      Did he win the World 100 on his first visit to Eldora? Nope.
                      Do people change their schedules to avoid racing him? Nope.
                      Does he live alone in an airplane hanger with his race car and race to feed himself? Nope.
                      Did he move away from home and live in a chassis builders basement? Nope.

                      Is he talented? Yes.
                      Can he be exciting to watch? Yes.

                      Does he win a lot outside Illinois? Not yet...

                      Long way to go before he can be listed amongst the best in decades, that's just disrespectful to even say considering who some of the best are and what they've accomplished. Right now he's kinda in that Duane Hommel place in time, hard charging, some meaningful wins, but still Hot & Cold on the big stage. I expect he'll leave for Nascar anyway with his looks and his truck racing connections and then that will be that.
                      History doesn't always repeat, but it does often rhyme.

                                It wasn't them other series. Once UDTRA became Xtreme Bland got in trouble and it folded. Lucas started as NARA.
