Schlenk won too and according to some it was luck of the draw. I don't see how Bobby's win could be classified any different. Same track, same event weekend, a gimic, a glorified demo-derby that pays well if your very, very lucky. Congrats to Bobby on his early Christmas gift of an over sized check.

First thing Bobby said was that it was pure luck he drew what he did, that is everyone's point when it comes to Schlenk, he couldn't just say that the draw was what won the race, he had to go on the poor me rant and everyone is tired of that!

But then from the other point of view those pierce fans rub it in your face because you trash talk and discredit him at every turn, goes both ways...

You imagine most of that.

You maybe right about the winner coming from the top few rows, Bobbys the exception, he could win it from anywhere, he didnt run the top cause he didnt have to but even if he would of started 8th he would of cleaned the top off and found a way to the lead..Sheppard was gna get up there and change Bobbys strategy until he got a flat trust me...

But Bobby didn't win from anywhere... in the last 2 years, he has won everything from the pole... early qualifying draw in Qualifying put him in great position to grab fast time for group B... he goes fast time in Group B and that puts him starting on the pole in the quite possibly the easiest Heat race in Gateway Nationals history (and it was by far the longest heat in history of the event... the heat took 47 minutes to run... everyone besides Bobby was a JOKE!!!) he wins it easily and draws the pole from the feature... wins that and draws the pole for the big race Saturday...

he never passed a car all weekend... not 1... and he should probably thank his lucky stars that Shannon Babb stalled his car... otherwise, it changes everything... Both times Bobby has won the big money the past 2 years, Bobby didn't pass 1 car to win... meanwhile I dare you to count how many cars Shannon Babb has passed in the same time frame...

I guess I'm confused?? do they pay by how many cars you pass or what position you finish?

Well...the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

No they don’t... but my reply was a response to the little douche that still can’t spell state... I know that big words don’t make sense for you Smooth so you probably don’t understand half of the posts on this thread...

A condensed version with just the facts.
