    Zack Dohm

    When are one of the big teams gonna give this young man a chance? All he does is show up in the top 5 of every big money event he runs. He has proven many times he can run with the best in the sport. Would be nice to see him get a chance to jump in the seat of of big name team.

    No doubt. I bet he would do better than Bronson and spend nearly what he does. Oh wait, he already does

      Unfortunately there are many more talented drivers out there than there are big name teams.

        True. And even though the economy is looking better. It still won't change the ratio of big name teams to drivers.

          He would have to be faster during laps 0-75 before I would consider him too strongly. All his success is also in one car.

            These 100 lappers are not won on lap 0-75... This guy consistently shows that he has the mettle to run with the top teams in the sport (with a fraction of funding). So using one chassis disqualifies him from that consideration? You stay with what works and suits your style. Dohm's have driven Swartz for a number of years... Should we disqualify Bloomer and Richards because they use one car?

              What does the 100 lappers pay for laps 0-75? And more guys should stay in one car. He has had the same car for I believe 1-2 years, possibly more. And he doesn’t have one of the new wide bore motors.

              As Andrews said, do we disqualify Bloomer, Richards, JD, Sheppard, and so on for having their success in one brand? Of course not. Find what works and stick with it.
              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                  This isn’t how racing works it’s not spend 100k run 5th spend 200k and win. He’s getting 100% out of what he has , being down on power actual helps when it gets slick. No doubt the dude is very impressive with his finishes in 100 lap races but there is zero guarantee that a massive influx of cash is going to produce vastly superior performances

                      Down on power? The guy qualified 6th at Eldora when the track record was broken. I mean he has been fast with the EXACT same chassis. Wasn't nearly as fast before that.

                        He got 1 worn out standard bore Vic Hill engine, the only engine he's ever had. I would say he's down on power compared to Bshep.

                          I pointed out reasonable, data based observations why I am not sold yet. That's all. I have seen quite a few guys fly with one car and never replicate the success. Now days, it's even harder than ever.

                            Zack did say in an article that the older car is fast and they couldn’t get the newer one to go ... at least that’s what I got
                            From the article

                              I was never saying more money would make him win the world instead of finish 5th. I'm saying given what he has accomplished, he's earned the right to be considered for such rides. But let's be honest, in this sport, more so than ever, more money never hurts.
