I can't say I seen this coming. Wish the best for Overton. He's a class act.

Just saw it on DoD Twitter -
DREAM racing and Tim McCreadie would be a nice fit.Comment

It sure would but i dnt think that will happen cuz weaver stated that overton didnt want to relocate and that was a bad call on weavers partOriginally posted by Planetzer0 View PostTHE REAL SLIDING SIDEWAYS!Comment

I would guess if they had plenty of support and financial backing Overton would not be leaving, he's a great driver, so not sure why McCredie would go there.Originally posted by Planetzer0 View PostComment

Overton said the team was pretty much aggravated with him tearing up a bunch of equipment and he respected all those guys alot, so instead of waiting until they all hated each other he chose to walk away before that happened. He didnt want to relocate and Weaver wasn't happy about that. I think its still a top 10 car in the sport. I mean atleast they would bring a trailer to the track for McCreadie.Comment

Lol I will agree with you on the trailer deal, but I will disagree that it's a top 10 ride....and I don't see any way possible they land a better driver than Overton. I don't know the behind the scenes stuff, but Overton wasn't hard on equipment the last couple years that I remember. The car has been nowhere near as fast as it was last season, and I don't believe Brandon forgot how to drive.Originally posted by Planetzer0 View PostComment

Overton will be at the $20k race in VA in his friend Brian Ligon's ride according to his website.Comment

It may not be top 10 at this moment in time, but it is a top 10 ride.Originally posted by No_Weak_Links View PostModern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment

Weaver's quotes came off a little bitter in the DOD article. Of all people he should know that accidents happen. (He destroyed a car at EAMS which basically caused him to retire). Interesting that Bronson bails and now he splits ways with Overton.
Overton needs to go to Clint Boywer. He'd be an ideal replacement for Lanigan if that iRacing sponsor is there to stay for a while.Comment

Weaver clearly wants someone who’s going to be at the shop. McCreadie didn’t move to NC for Longhorn, I highly doubt he’d move to TN for Weaver.Originally posted by Planetzer0 View PostComment

Yep. I remember seeing something about relocation when they were in search of a driver when they hired him. Something like the new driver would be expected to move there within three years. Maybe his new engagement was a determining factor in him staying anchored. I kind of saw the writing on the wall when they didn't even attempt to use a backup at the dream. Just packed up. Won't say I totally expected but sure had my doubts lately. The new Ray Cook rules hurt them, and follows last year's results with lack luster turn outs this year has got to be frustrating for all of those guysComment

I don't think Weaver wants someone to move to Tennessee necessarily, he just wants someone who is going to be around in the shop a few days a week to help out. I just said McCreadie would be a good fit, its going to take alot to make that happen but a few days ago McCreadie was talking about hanging it up if things didnt turn around and now this opportunity came up. Weaver/ McCreadie with Sweetners sponsorship would be a great deal for everyone.Comment

Agree they as a team still had remote chance to win a $100,000..to just pack it up on thursday...must of been the straw that broke the camels back, they have a little work to do to get back to the level they were last year but I still think they are a dang good solid top 10-12 team easy...and I like Brandon but I think the Weaver team can run even better with someone else...jmoComment
