    Cherry picking must be a 4m expression only. These guys race to get better, it's not like they show up on any given night and think they're going to win, yeah they know there's a chance, but sure win doesn't come easy these days. You don't sit at home and get better. For some reason some people on here don't get that. I guess they would rather see guys like Moyer or McDowell sit at home til a lucas or outlaw show comes to their area and they go out suck it up by missing the show or whatever, then come on here and wonder what has happened to them. I don't get it, do we want them to retire instead of racing every now and then?

    If you can't tell if hate the expression cherry picking, to me there's no such thing. I'm glad when I see Billy Sr or Dale in the pit area. I know they're days of racing are getting smaller by the day.

      Sorry there is no amateur class in Late Model racing. The good thing is your welcome to the Pro division any time you feel ready.

        what i dont understand is how in the he!! did Dale Mc and Shane get drug into this, he has never claimed to be a big 6 time globe winner, nor has he ever denied picking a cherry now and then, but i will say this, back in my larry shaw/rocket days they helped me a lot with out any reason to, now i called moyer back when VC was hot and Jr. was a D!CK and wouldnt give me the time of day. His dad didnt seem to be that way back when i met him a few times, and maybe Jr. was having a bad day when i talked to him, but you know what they say about first impressions , just like Joe Garrison , I could care less and would not have even commented until my friend got drug in, carry on.......

          Wasn't trying to drag "your friend" into anything. I like the way Dale and Shane race. I am FOR a driver doing what they want, when they want, and how they want. The only thing I was saying is that if you are going to call Moyer Jr the 1st a cherry picker, why don't guys like Dale catch the same flack? I am a McDowell fan, didn't mean to insinuate that they should be labeled as cherry pickers (nor should anyone), but I can see why you may have thought that. All I'm saying is if people are going to pick (pun intended) on Moyer, take the blinders off and see that there are plenty of other guys that operate their program the same way and nobody ever gives them $hit about it.

              Because Dale doesnt run any races that dont pay AT LEAST 4k. He knows its a waste of time and wear on equipment for less than 4k. THATS THE DIFFERENCE

                Ok, so we are going to split hairs between 3K and 4K cherries? Dale also doesn't help the team during the week apparently, per an article Shane did. He said Dale is off in Chattanooga all week and Shane is at the shop by himself. Take that for what it's worth.

                  its always been that way, shane is the crew chief and probably knows a lot more about the car than dale. like i said earlier , first impressions mean a lot and moyer Jr lost me from the get go, but every one is entitled to there opinion and i know you are trying to make a point and mean no disrespect to dale. And blackie, I wish he , Jr, would come down here and try and pick some of them cherries , there is a couple local guy,s named jason hiett and tim rozell that i believe would clean his clock......

                          I'm not trying to start $hit but I think it is a fair question to ask. How is Moyer a bum for "cherry-picking" but Dale isn't?
                          I always asked that myself. But I like dale and Moyer, so atleast dale not get hammered as cherry picker. But reality billy stop following full national tour after 2006. Dale stopped to after 2006 until he ran to full tours with Lucas in 09, 10. So you should say dale a cherry picker as well. But I don't believe in cherry picking. Its called making money, after the years billy and Dale put in running against best for 20 years. They should unload any (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) track they please. I don't see them shy from crown jewels running with the best to win them.

                              David has some of the best help around running Boyd'san it runs just fine when Dale is off racing some say it runs a little better

                                This is the longest a post that started with BMJ has lasted since he retired a few years ago. Another mid season crisis to get ones name in the loop.
