Is he done? Really hasn't been anywhere competitive in 2-3 years. He wasn't even in the same ball park at Eldora. Is it time to step down back to mods? Just isn't what he was before.

It sure was strange to see him hit the wall in qualifying both nights.
Most drivers got better in their xr1, Jimmy not so much. -
Time to get back in a Zero car.Comment

Had a bloomquist car and won everything. NDRL bust him for juicin tires. Never been the same since. Also Reece left for a reason???Comment

I don't think the xr1 cars really fit his driving style, they like to be driven pretty hard and sideways. I'd say Owens will end up in a Longhorn or back in one of the club 29 cars. That Swartz car he was parked beside at Eldora sure did drive around the bottom nice and smooth though.Comment

I love how all you guys seem to think that Jimmy is all washed up and needs to step back down to the modified... Lmmfao.... Jimmy is a long way from being washed up in a latemodel guys!! Just because he hasn't dominated like he normally does doesn't mean that he is washed up by any means! The XR1 definitely isn't the answer and although I agree he would be best suited in a Bloomquist chassis I feel that he needs to jump into his own stuff and get it rolling out there again! Just a thought is all....If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!Comment

I'm guessing it has to with the fact that Jimmy is a fabricator. And in a couple of years, if that long, he'll magically have the LG dirt late model.Originally posted by blncfn57 View Post
In saying that, he was by far at his best with Scott. Be nice if they could come to an agreement.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

It's hard to overcome bad qualifying effort at those races. He got into the wall hard Thursday, and had a late draw Friday. Qualifying good at those eldora biggies are the biggest key to making those prelim shows. He didn't do that either night, which put him in a hole. Same thing happened to Bloomer last year, and it ended up with him missing the show too. It just shows you how hard it is diggin out of that hole once you're in it. Jimmy will be fine, he was all smiles Saturday. I think he knew it just wasn't his weekend to be on the good side of luck.....on to the next one.Comment

Besides the fact that Jimmy was beatin' Bloomer in his own chassis, as a business man....why wouldn't Bloomer want him to come back? Then he would have, in my opinion, 3 of the BEST Veterans in his chassis.....Himself, Dale McDowell, and Jimmy Owens. All 3 have similar styles of driving too, so his chassis suits them perfectly!#AnybodyButBobby

I guess there talking about the jimmy owens that sits 90 points outta the top 5 in 6th......... AHEAD of darrell lanigan and dennis erb jr an also mentioned above has won a lucas race within a month or so..... tough crowd. Hate to hear how you all feel about lanigan an erb jr ... must be some real backmarkers everywhere they unload.... its a tough series arguably the best in the world if your a tick off your lapped traffic anymore. Literally 1 crown jewel ago at the show-me he ran 2nd an 3rd on back to back qualifying nights was within striking distance the majority of the 100 lapper until a fuel pump let go late.Originally posted by Nasty55 View PostComment

I think any driver can have a bad luck or a good luck period.
I don't think that Jimmy in no way is washed up.
I watched him last month at tazewell and he lapped several cars till he
caught the 0.
He said in his interview that he knew the 0 would clear a path for him,
or he would've passed him.
I think he will be fine.
By the way if he wanted a bloomquist there are some used ones out there.
JUST MY OPINION.Comment
