Blount Motorsports boss looking for driver that provides the right fit

Jimmy owens will be in this ride next year i said it 1st

I don't see that happening, especially with Blount wanting to scale back their racing.

I thought Mcintosh wanted to go big time? If it's such a great team with great equipment why didn't they then?

Donald wants to run a national tour and the team collectively are not interested in doing so. Just like the article says David has a son that he wants to watch grow up and Larry hates missing the chance to see his team race due to work, so that's why.

I think Mark Douglas would be a great fit for this ride. He recently shuttered his family operation. The guy can drive. He knows race cars and can win races. He lives very close to the Blount operation and he and Fatboy have worked together previously. I think he at least deserves a shot at it.

Logistically wouldn't work but I would like to see Zack Dohm get a ride like that.

[Josh Bayko]

I could see Eric Wells getting that ride. He's gotta be pretty burnt out from national touring.

Off the top of my head, local guys who seem to be fits to run a limited schedule include: Jason Welsham, Corey Hedge(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word), Jesse Lowe, or possibly someone moonlighting in the car like Michael Page or Ross Bailes.

Now that would be interesting...Agree

I agree with Flagone the way Garner and Bryant want to race Mark Douglas be the perfect guy to put behind the wheel.

Don't see Corey leaving the ride's he's in, don't think Welshman would fit in,Lowe seems to be mostly street stock or crates an Blounts not moving down,Mark Douglas would be the best fit.

Dane Dacus maybe? From TN. Runs limited schedule. Rocket familiarity

[dirty bert]

If Ronnie Johnson wasn't in the 85 he would be a good one.

I feel that they might go with a young up and comer kind of racer that is local in the area. There's a few guys in this area that would fit that role well.

To me the way the article read they didn't want a driver they needed to bring along. The way I understood it was they wanted someone who was already equal to or better, in experience and talent to McIntosh. So that would be someone already running supers, who is accomplished, knowledgeable and that communicates well what the car is doing.

Does Blankenship still live up there around that area ?

70 races is a lot. 55 is still a ton.I am still baffled at McIntosh leaving he is good but I don't think good enough to put in a national series good unless he is bringing money to the table.
