        A couple questions for those in the know. 94 races. How many fresh engines will that take with 0 engine issues? Also did the DBM crew guys stay with the car or leave with Pearson? 94 races is a ton of tires to get ready, sheet metal to fix and shocks to keep fresh. How many crew guys will travel? 4 or 5? Plus guys at home building new cars?

          The Dunn Benson Motorsports Team in 2018 will consist of several veterans of the sport including Bob Pierce as the crew chief for Bobby at the races, Kent Fegter, Randy Courtney, Danny Myers, Kelly Raynor, Red Fisher, Ralph Peiffer and Wayne Castleberry.

              I'm sure the Pierce shop will serve as another base of operations when they are in this neck of the woods. That should help a lot.

                  While a lot of racing, I think it’ll be good for them. Build chemistry, possibly backfire, but I think not, as long as they all give an take.

                  Best of luck to them, and hopefully Bobby comes into his own.
                  Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                            and some of the adjustments and setups are not the same as the Pierce car so you basicallyu start from scratch

                              No they start from where Rocket tells them to... far different than starting from scratch. And I don't think any drivers right foot can tell the brand of the engine that's under the hood.

                              You guys make it sound like they put a Studebaker engine in a home made car.

                                Definitely not impressive. I'd bet if they got some integras like ones on the house car he'd be a lot better. Bobbys xr-1 is the only one if seen that wants to pick up the left front wheel
