Rick Ekert in 2019

[Jking24]

"Everyone knows Scrub was top notch, but he has really fallen off in the last few years. Whether it’s losing Raye Vest’s funding, not enough help, not enough money, he is not the Eckert we know from them days you so eloquently copied and pasted from his site."You are right back in those days he had a little guy name robbie Allen helping him. Like i said earlier Rick can get it done he needs a crew cheif though. It's more important nowadays then ever before. Weher is pearson without Stuckey. Or Davenport without rumley. Scott without corey....

Looking at the stats it doesn't look like he has declined much at all since his best days 15 or so years ago. Considering hes in his 50s.

As I quote what the famous lite inn would say...

That's nice. 🙄🙄🙄

Rick was offered a ride with a great team for the 2019 season but did not take it because they run the lucas tour. That ride then went to another former WoOL driver who will now be on the Lucas tour. Rick is a great person with incredible talent but when you are on tour short handed it makes everything so much more difficult. Best wishes for Rick in 2019. It would be an incredible loss to see him drop off the WoOL tour, as he is one of the original Outlaw members.

What ride are you talking about???

What ride are you talking about???

I think he might be talking about the Best Performance Motorsports ride.

I also heard something along those lines but didn't think it would amount to anything. I wonder why BPM was looking at WoO guys filling the seat.

Any new rumors/information on Rick?

[Hoosier_Dirt]

He must not wanna race too bad if he turned down a ride with a great team?

[dirtcrazy4u]

Why would he turn down the best ride ? They've made it quite clear they plan on staying closer to home and running regional. Would have fit what both are looking for. Some start rumblings just to start them.

Rick has funding from Dryden Oil Company and its for Woo Series only .Dryden is major sponsor on sprint car side of woo as well.

Obviously the staying close to home stuff was only rumors. Tyler Erb didn't go there to run regional races.

[dirtcrazy4u]

Well if Tyler Erb has someone else paying those bills and his equipment sitting there I think you may be wrong. He wins both ways. If best doesn't plan to make a certain race, I'm sure Erb will show up with his own equipment.
