    Praise for Page & Baird-- still together!!

    I've thought about this several times, and I'm still amazed! Didn't think it would last near this long! Baird changed many drivers & maybe found the one for him! Page doesn't spend big $$ and does a lot of the work on the car himself. Maybe the right combination! Glad to hear he's prepping for Eldora! Congrats to all involved!

      Page has done a good job in that ride.

      It looks like he's getting to keep the equipment at his shop and pick where he races. Maybe Baird actually started listening to people.

        Yep. He does keep it there, heard him talk about it. He’s done very well, proven motors and a car that is surprisingly pretty sporty. Just think of how many people Baird has went through. A heat race field of good drivers I’d say.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          Troy Baird is a heck of a guy . Its funny how everyone assumed that mike would last but a month or two. yes all the equipment is kept at our shop and Troy is as good as gold to us. We have a very simple operation and watch every dollar that comes in a goes out.

              I'd always heard how rough Page was and how dirty he drove but I've watched him quite a bit this year at different tracks and jmo he is pretty good driver I talked to him a little a the Nesmith/SAS race at Talladega last month he drove a heck of a race in the Nesmith race and put on a good show on Saturday he didn't win but it was a good race

                    He has run Ronnie Johnson pretty shady. Then him and Owenby clash like crazy, but I think I’d clash with Owenby.

                            I think most people's skepticism was geared more towards the 211 people who had driven for Baird before. Page is getting to do things with the equipment that those guys did not. I.E. keep it at home and pick where he races. It's proven successful thus far.

                            I've seen Page drive on the wrong side of aggressive a couple of times. I've also seen him be extremely patient. Seems to have matured as a driver over the last 2-3 years. Strikes me as a guy who races you like you race him these days. I would say the RJ deal at TST was a bit rough.

                            C&B seems pretty spot on in some of his other observations.

                              go listen to RJ'S interview from this past weekends southern national bonus race at Dixie. it might surprise a few folks as to what Ronnie had to say about Michael. Michael does have some input as to where he races but its not carte blanche.
