    Wow, surprised he turned down the long horn house car. Good see he was able keep some his long time sponsors, that a good thing for him and bwr. Wonder they have enough to run national tour or not.

      I'm surprised by this news since Madden had a pretty good year this year. I seen in the article where he said he likes a challenge, apparently he likes a challenge more than he likes winning.

          Maybe they are going to run the antique chassis series and battle Bullitt and Jig-a-lo?

              I think he will do ok. He is a darn good racer. But, it has to be some level of a step back.

                I’m not so sure he was even offered a Longhorn house car ride. I think the talk of him being in that ride were pure conjecture based on some bigger logos on his world finals wrap.

                  I hope I am wrong, but the hype has been present the last 2-3 years with no results. With all of Bowyers resources and money, they were able to squeeze out 1 championship, but I'm guessing the chassis got some major tweaking from what they started out as in that deal.

                    Put me in the I'll eat crow if I'm wrong category. I hope he does well, but JD, and Bailes are good drivers and they were in left field in those cars last year. Maybe they are crafting some new longwrights right now.

                      JD never had a competitive Motor, Ross is pretty good but nowhere close to JD or Madden. Time will tell but I feel like they have their Ducks in a row.Everyone knows Barry don’t like spending his own $$$ but Chris would not put himself in an inferior spot.

                        Madden is regarded as one of the better setup drivers in the business. Maybe he can turn Barry’s lagging program around. Also, I thought Barry didn’t want to travel much. Does this mean that Madden is going back to a regional outlaw schedule?

                          Not talking bad bout JD he is definitely a good driver but I think he not the sharpest on setting a car up, Madden on other hand set em up an wheel one ,I'm thinking team Wright is going have a pretty good year

                            I'm surprised as anybody over this joining of forces. Maybe they needed each other, financially speaking, and joining forces would spread the expenses.

                              JD struggled with engine woes and bad luck, Ross was fast and competitive.
