    Call it what you want, it's all aftermarket stuff anyway.

      Chevrolet wins SN,WOO,Winchester,Ray Cook,Ultimate.etc....

      Richards has been on a tear,but the engine can't drive itself. The time off obviously helped,and that is all but another Rocket house car. Not a ford guy,but Durham sure knows his stuff.

          Don't count Tim out of it yet. He's only 15-20 points out of 2nd place. Lots of racin left.
          Got any dough to place on TMac? I'm here waiting.

            Not trying to say your wrong but more big races are won with Fords. Look at the names running Fords and you can figure it out. The SN this year was a perfect example Moyer, Babb, Marlar , Sheppard won the majority of the races all Ford power..to the guy that says there are all aftermarket I don't want to say you are wrong but there is more "Ford "parts in a Ford engine that Chevrolet parts in a Chevy engine.

                    No problem. Heads like Josh runs are in the Ford Performance catalog at any Ford dealer. Have been for many years. SC1 and others very similar for many many years.

                      This is simple. Time off, "getting thing figured out" etc is just plain funny. Bottom line..... Josh went from a top five threat to winning every other night when he went with Durham Ford power years ago and same thing has just happened again. I've always thought a Ford powered Corvette would be pretty cool anyways Big Clevelandish canted valve Fords are just plain better than sbcs when ample carb and intake are allowed. Been that way for 40 years.

                        You're right about Bshep.

                        Richards won 3 Lucas Oil races with the Chevy,and might've won a couple more. He just flat out threw away a couple of them. Never had heard of Dargie engines until this year. Must've been under a rock.

                          Bloomy is a long way from dominating anything for a long while. Many of the teams have caught up with him, and some may have passed him. I am sure he cannot be this bad, but he certainly doesn't resemble the man to beat any longer.

                            One driver has mentioned that shocks are more important than the chassis or engine nowadays. They sure as heck have some exotic pricing for the old Monroe clone! LOL!

                              News flash, those Ford heads came from a aftermarket head profiler, not Ford parts. They are one of the main reasons for Ford success. The head porter, doesn't even get them from Ford before he does his magic. I'm thinking and can't really find a Ford or Chevy part in them. Gasket, seals and some hardware maybe. Nothing that explains performance anyway.
