        32 yes I watched along with everyone else who watched with all eyes on Bobby , the car was bouncing all
        Over the place with no side bite or drive off unless he was balls deep in the cushion and every bump made the front end take off. Anyone else in that car would have rode around in 22nd. Raw talent brought that car to the front and refusing to lose

          Bobby seems to like a loose car for sure, but don't sell him short. He can run the bottom and center. That kid has to have the fastest hands, you ever seen. When he gets some experience on most of these tech tracks, watch out.

            Honestly from what I seen he was better on the bottom on the restarts the few times he did pick up spots he restarted on bottom...

              EPJs success after leaving DB this season has to make one wonder if some of these teams ( Bowyer, DB ) hold some drivers back, Money can’t be the issue.

                Early on he was making passes low and middle but the middle got stupid slick after a while. He can absolutely run any line on the track and some that aren’t. His reactions are fuc&ing insane to run like he did at magnolia lap after lap after lap ... other guys don’t try it because they know they’ll wreck. He’s the best pure talent in DLM racing. Bloomquist is still the better driver because of his car knowledge and ability to run the less dangerous groove soo effectively. Bloomquist won’t be racing forever and I see Bobby taking over the number one spot when bloomer is done

                  He was driving like an idiot bouncing off the cushion like that. He’s lucky he didn’t break anything. Notice the veteran drivers weren’t doing that.

                      Richards passed his way to third without banging off the cushion.

                          Knoxville track gets prepared and not touched again all night. This lends it's self to a higher than normal berm. This berm don't like banging and it's soft above it. Sooner or later it will hang back. The cushion likes a car to get on smooth and off smooth, if you use it. Especially turn two. Turn 2 is where speed is made, even if no one sees said speed till 3 and 4.

                          Bobby has been there less than a handful of times and didn't make the A main one of those. I don't remember his dad running there, so he has a limited notebook. Something he should have learned, this time, is don't bang the cushion in turn 2. By the time Bobby gets 14 of these behind him, like most of the top guys, he will have it figured out.

                          If it was easy, everyone in the stands would be racing.
