Lanigan running WOO in 2019

[MI Dirt Fan]

Really..........

Was quick time at Charlotte

Jon Henry set quick time at Eldora too. Wth does that prove?

[Josh Bayko]

Writeup on DoD says that the plan is to return to the WoO as long as he has enough equipment ready to hit the road comfortably. Hitting the road comfortably might be a stretch because he's building his own chassis now.

Where was Clanton fast at with this new car people are talking about? I don't know when it came out but since Knoxville. 3 of his 4 wins came at Senoia.

He had a very good car at Eldora for most of the weekend. Started up front at Charlotte, but must have missed the setup for the feature. Results don't always tell the story. He had a much better piece later in the year. I actually mentioned that in the Madden to Capital thread.

I still stand by the results.

I still stand by the results.

My eyes have never lied to me.

Best of luck to Darrell but his personality won’t help car sales!

Because Bloomer is the most out-going car builder in the pits? Especially if he finishes anywhere from 2nd on back.

Or how about Pierce when he was building cars? Don't recall Lanigan ever knocking one of his customers Disco cars off the stand with his 4-wheeler.

We get it...Darrell is not the most outgoing, bubbly, how's it going fella. Neither is Dennis Erb Jr., or Clanton, or Madden, or a dozen more guys we can all name.

But I'll tell you this....the only drivers that spent more time with my son when he was a lil' guy taking pictures and answering my son's ?'s about the racecars then Darrell Lanigan was Jason Feger and Brady Smith.

There's another driver from KY however who was the complete opposite and was a complete condescending jack-@$$.

That is true. Darrell can also build his own stuff and back it up to. His win list is pretty impressive. Who said he needs to sell cars to customers? I think he's got a pretty good business (es) going now on the side he doesn't need full on chassis building for support

Excellent point. You and I may see that side of him, especially if we take our kids to meet him, but the inbred mouth breathers that gather around the trailer bothering the drivers before the race think you must be a horrible driver if you don't ignore your car and spend an hour taking pictures and signing tee shirts for grown adults.

They're usually too oblivious to realize he's got to get his car ready for the night. So a guy like Lanigan wins tons of races but "oh he must be the worst person on earth because he didn't kiss my ass when I came by to take 97 pictures with him three minutes before his heat race."

Zonks you fail to realize one thing. When drivers put that driver suit today it becomes all business. Having time for your son was great. Lanigan was, I think, overwhelmed out on the lucas tour compared to the WoO. Do I think there's a difference in driver/crew chief talent on the lucas tour. You betcha. There are few that can go between series and be competitive. In fact I would say you have 6 guys today that could win a race in either series once that car comes out of the trailer.

Can anyone break down the article on DoD about Lanigan eyes club 29 revival?

Darrell not being able to be with the cars all the time was I think by far the main issue.

Darrell said after he won the championship, he really dreaded getting on stage and speaking. He doesn’t like crowds.

You talking about Francis?

[Highside Hustler25]

Sounds like the decision on whether Darrel runs the WoO tour depends on when he takes delivery of the stacker that's on order. It might not be ready till spring.
