    GR was actually running Lucas, not WoO last year.
    Geography means nothing. Pitting next to Mark every night means a lot for a team that has demonstrated brand loyalty and has lots of $$ to spend.

      Not to be disrespectful to GR, he is a nice guy, but I'm in the area that JD and GR run in most and have seen the developmental arc of both. I don't see that car, continuing to perform like it has lately, with GR back behind the wheel. I'm sure having input and help from KR has shown him some things, but... To be on the national tour and run competitively you need both an exceptionally talented driver, a finely tuned car and serious funding, so... I'm sure if GR were to focus on Carolina Clash and/or Ultimate series he could do quite well there with what he has learned, but I fear a national tour is a bridge too far. But hey' its not my money, if he wants to swim in the deep end of the pool, that's his decision. JMO, for what its worth.

        Bronson isn't gunna get any more setup information whether he's parked next to the 1 car or not.

          I never said Bronson CAN'T run the entire tour being based in FL.

          Huskerdirt should change his name to trigger. Quick to jump on someone else's opinion. That's all he does here. I'm entitled to my own opinion on it.

            And I'm entitled to my opinion. I don't think it's a slam dunk he's gonna run WoO. Every time a driver says he's gonna run a national tour. Most people just automatically assume it's WoO. That's the funny part.

            I'll hold off till April in declaring who is actually running a national tour.

              I don't think he'll run the whole tour either. I think he'll pull off. BUT the backing is there to do so regardless of where he finishes weekly.

                After he gets suspended for misconduct after losing his temper, he'll drop off.

                    Yeah, I mean I try not to judge, but if you aren't confident that he can keep it together, especially after many hard nights a long way from home on a national tour, I don't know if I'd want to make an investment in chasing one. It is easier to get frustrated and lose it when you are running 6-8th a lot out on the road. I hope he does do well and doesn't come unwired and hurt someone, but history usually repeats itself.

                      This is untrue.

                        Can you imagine Bronson and Tyler Erb on the same tour together?! I will admit, Tyler didn't drive over his head this year like he did last.

                          Bronson lived on the road this summer from June at Eldora thru Sept. at Knoxville running WOO, Lucas and UMP races. Following a tour would be a break from the work load they took on. I'd venture a guess and say he ran more sanctioned races in that time span than any touring regular.

                            If Bronson runs a tour the other teams better keep a close eye on their stuff. It might just end up 4 miles down the highway.

                              You are just now seeing that?.......and Bronson can get all tempered up if he wants to on tour.

                              Be a very unwise decision on his part.
                              Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                                Another discussion that has spiraled downward...started off good based on some good what if's to people bashing each other.

                                Bronson spent the summer on the road racing mainly with WOO and seemed to keep his nose clean and didn't cause any problems. It was fun seeing him hard charging and rim riding around the ovals in the Midwest and racing people cleanly. I am sure someone will point out a little fender bender or rubbing with someone that happened, but all-in-all he did fine.

                                Why do you think him running a series next year and against mainly the same people he ran with most of this year be any different? Or if he runs Lucas, why would it be any different?

                                He is a hard charger just like Tyler Erb (and they didn't have any scrapes that I recall) and is a little hard on his own equipment, so what? It is his money and if he isn't bothering others, other than racing them hard, who cares?
