Just curious, is any other driver/s of significance driving an ICON, or even a Barry Wright chassis for that matter? Seems like I don't hear of anyone in a BWRC anymore. Maybe Owens realized last year they just aren't what they used to be, hope that's not the case since Barry and Lance both seem like good guys, but the future's not too bright when you put two proven drivers in your house car and struggle to even make races...

There is a couple in MI. Not sure if they are ICON though

In several races this year the car has been fast early and seems to fade as the race goes on.The Rome race comes to mind.

Icon first year out struggles......longhorn first Couple years out, boat anchor.

It's not exactly unheard of.

Maybe Barry will have Kevin consult on the Icon. The only reason Longhorns lost their boat anchor status was because of Kevin. Never proven, but supposedly he helped with the XR1 too. Rocket was in a little slump, but still selling cars, unlike Longhorn before Kevin. Makes ya feel bad for EPJ.

I was vocal behind the scenes (so to speak) how I believed JD should've taken the 116 ride. It's a long season. Maybe, these guys will surprise the 2nd half of season. Davenport is a pretty laid back guy. We'll see how much non-success it takes to rattle him.

Was the 116 even offered to Davenport?

That was his ride if he wanted it.

The ride was JD's to have, He chose to reunite with BW. Meanwhile the 116 has 8 wins and 21 top 5's in 29 races. Overton is looking strong.

The car was 54th fastest yesterday in time trials and 40th fastest the night before. So, I guess he was faster early on.

Interesting. I hadn't read anywhere that it was actually offered to him. I bet Overton sure is glad to be in it right now.

I threw out some @sshole bait and see that I got a bite.I don't recall saying every race.

Maybe JD just lost his ability????? Washed up?? Or maybe it just takes a Rumley type car to suit his style of driving????

Davenport won more than a few 10k + regional races prior to moving to CBR. He was driving a BarryWright then. For whatever reason, Barry's stuff is behind the curve. JD has won in other rides, not just the 6.

I like JD...I was having a little humor with this. All you can do sometimes when things are going so south for thr first 5 months, wasn't trying to rattle you.

Agreed...he knows how to race. Thr car flat out isn't even close to where it needs to be. They've had 5 months now. Time to start showing some progression.

No problem.The 116 wins again at Boyd's.
