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

Cant run a rocket if they wont sell you one.

Theres a reason why he ran black diamond cars for a couple years and those black diamonds got sold after he left and xr1's got ordered

I understood he tested and/or auditioned for Blount Motorsports ride prior to Charlotte.

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.

Are you talking about his relationship with Valvoline when you mention the steady money sponsor?

And what was the solution to the problem he found with TLR?

Probably found out he cannot drive these new set-ups and had to start his own team again, with the only Chassis builder that would give him a deal or sell him a car.
He is a good guy. Cannot keep making a living taking provisionals. I don’t know how he does it.

Its not valvoline but a shock company pays him pretty well.
And the help they provide weekly is someone who only knows how to take one apart and put one back together.

I heard they bolted on a set of ohlins and found the half second they were down but the driver wasnt allowed to run them.

Car owner said he'd never let someone drive with a deal like that again.

Interesting info. Thanks.

I could see this happening. And that be the reason he is off the pace.1/2 second all the time is huge

[SFrancisFan15]

Sure is starting 6th or 7th in just about every heat race your in all year because of qualifying is no joke in that series.

[JustAddDirt]

Now I am trying to find a pic of the car to figure out who it is... lol.

[Hoodrat1]

His capital car has small penske stickers on it, other drivers seem to have good results with them, is it just the help he is getting to set them up?

[King1]

I can tell you that ronny crooks dont touch bloomys stuff. The half head shaved huge comb over guy you see with francis is the penske guy they send out with him. He came from f1 and knows jack about a dirt car. Again he only knows how to service one and does not offer any tech help to make speed. That came from the car owner. I know more but he'd de nut me if i ran my mouth too much more.

Come on tell us more.

[nuff said]

If the Penske guy came from f1 I bet he is loving life in the pits at a dirt track.He is probably trying to screw up in hopes of getting sent somewhere else.

A shock problem is not a supplier problem these days. It is the guy valving them.
