    Chub frank is quitting the tour.

    Not that a person couldn't see this coming, I hope he enjoys life and goes and puts a smack down on the local racing scene.

      He looked good early at Cherokee, but then seemed to miss the setup later. Its been a while since I've seen him be a contender on the tour though. Could be he hasn't taken to the new setups and how you have to drive the cars now. A friend of mine who has raced for many years going back to the early 90's in DLM, he took about 5 years off to tend to his business and came back this year and said he doesn't like the way they drive now, not as much fun.

      Best of luck to Chub, "The Shoestring traveler".

        Its been some 50 + years for him going in circles since he first steered his way around the tracks in a pack car. If I had a dollar for every lap he has run I would a much richer man ! Best of luck to one of the sports most elder statesman.

          He is a legend where I grew up. Got to watch him win a lot of races at Raceway 7 growing up. Then he won my first World 100. Hope he continues racing.

                  I don't think he's won a race on the tour in atleast 3 seasons if not longer. Seems as though you have to at least ponder the idea of finally pulling off. Both mentally and financially.

                    That's what I thought.

                      His business is busy, and he just doesn't have what he used too. Chub was always a guy that came roaring to the front late in a race. That's gone. Why, I have no idea. Chassis, tires, shocks, it could be a combo of any. He's going to race locally and I think he can still bring home a few wins.

                        The 'pass in the grass' was a fun thing to watch...

                            I'm pretty sure he's gonna keep racing. There's a special more or less every weekend within a few hours of his shop, I'd imagine he'll be hitting a lot of those.

                              Doubt it happens, but I would love to see him mix it up at Tyler County Saturday.
