Steve francis

[bradc]

I think he could have good success running a regional schedule. Would make more sense

DOD has an article about Steve and his lack of performance this year. 1) He lost a major sponsor just before the season kicked off. 2) His team is new, and he lacks a crew guy, and support with the new technology. 3) He made the switch to Capital cars this year and it seems they are a little behind the top two chassis builders. Clanton was struggling until he received a new car design in July or August which he went out and won a few races but still seemed to fade in later stages of the race. Steve had a few good heat race wins in the second half of the year, started up front in a few big races but went backwards later in the race as well. Rocket cars where bad fast all year with most of there drivers, they apparently found something, and what ever it is they have been able to keep it hush-hush. I hate to see stars like Steve go away, but how long do you continue when its a uphill battle of Money more than talent....

Steve hasn't been the same since the loss of his brother Chris.

Read the DoD article...that pretty much sums it up.

As many provisionals as he used this season they should have renamed it the Francis Provisional.

Huge Francis fan but have been saying it for a few years now that he would be better off running regional stuff now. There are plenty good shows close to home like PRP and Atomic.

Doesn't he now live in Bowling Green, KY? Not close to PRP & Atomic

I think he does. That's still a decent place to live and run regionally. Within about 3 hours he could be at Brownstown, Duck River, Florence, Clarksville, Crossville...etc.

I hope he doesn't hang it up.. would rather see Francis run locally than anything.. he has tons of tracks that could keep them busy and would probably make more $$$

[racerfan01]

He can still drive but he needs to get out of that CAPITAL race car and get in a Rocket or Longhorn

[racer41]

I would not have a capital car if theay was free a lot off pople done left captial

[dalemcfan]

I wouldnt be surprised to see Steve get the Blount Motorsports ride.

Not saying to run for a track championship or anything hell Florence is a 3 hour drive that wouldn't be bad. Also the numerous times I've talked to him in the pits this year he just doesn't seem to be that into it anymore like these other guys

[NormP]

I think his best days are behind him. Wouldn't hurt for him to scale back.

Same with EPJ and Chub.

If he would walk away from from his steady money sponsor (not advertised heavily on the car) he would do a lot better. I know money talks but i wouldnt let it be the reason I retired. He found the solution to the problem during a test with Tim Logan, wouldnt admit it and still runs bad. He's also burnt bridges with people that keep the sport going.
