Bowyer cars

[Highside Hustler25]

Got another guess?

Well ok watertruck warrior, when is the last time Sr. ran a whole tour? It's been so long, I can't remember.

I think the Bowyer curse more refers to how guys like Lanigan, who was winning races in bunches, go there and suddenly don't win races anymore. Now that Lanigan is back in his own stuff, if he starts winning races in bunches again (and I tend to think he will), it's not going to look all that good for CBR.

I knew exactly what was being referenced, just thought it was a funny fact to give myself a chuckle, and slide a little jab at the bloomer nut huggers. Lol

I don't care who owns the cars...any team with Richards and O'Neal is going to win races. Between the two, I'll be shocked if CBR doesn't win double-digit races in '19.

After seeing the black hole for good drivers that CBR has become, I’d say we should take a “wait and see” approach before we crown Richards the 2019 champ.

[Crossbones]

I think the reason CBR has had problems is that they seem to always go with off brand chassis with deals with chassis builders or drivers, started with Warrior and McDowell, Barry Wright, and then Club 29 with Lanigan, Lanigan was struggling with his car in 2015 thats why he dropped off the woo series half way through the season that year. Those chassis are good at times but this will be the first year I can remember CBR having a consistent performing chassis like rocket.

[RTW]

I would find it hard to believe that PaPa Mark would allow Josh to struggle in one his own chassis no matter who he was driving for.

You also have to consider jd had never run a national tour prior to going to cbr France's was a long time rocket but that was already somewhat struggling before a team and chassis change. And lanigan had never run lucas before. Granite after a few years that isn't really a good excuse. But my point is aside from the fact that it takes chemistry for a team to run well no matter how talented or well funded. Their has been alot of inconsistency at cbr from many directions. And this rarely leads to success in this sport. So Josh and josh's proven package should be a good move for cbr

Kinda like EPJ and Pierce at Dunn Benson.

Kinda like EPJ and Pierce at Dunn Benson.

Not quite but good try.

Pierce was really competitive in that car. When you go from running just mostly the hell tour and other semi local events to Lucas. The win totals are gonna drop.

Langian wasn’t even close to being good at times in the Bowyer car.

Thank you. Which is why I said I believe CBR wins at least 10 races this year with the two drivers they have. The success of that team on '19 is good for business for a certain company located in WV.

All of that aside...has CBR had a better pair of drivers in the stable at the same time?

[Zonks32x]

Husker,

I hear what you're getting at...and I don't even disagree entirely. I think it's a fair assessment to say Pierce looked lost early on, before finding his groove and making that DB car competitive in order to climb to 7th, almost 6th, in points. Meanwhile, Lanigan struggled to find speed in the corners all season long and labored home to 9th.

All of that said, all of those guys in the top 10 are pretty doggone good. I could see many a driver not doing close to what Pierce did in the DB ride, and equally as many who could not have piloted that Disco car to a top 10 points finish.

[ZERO25]

For whatever reason, there seemed to be a huge disconnect between the BD and Disco cars.....it always seems that CBR is the common denominator!

[Kromulous]

If CBR doesnt win with this Combo, he should just sell it all and fold.

Great Chassis, and proven Drivers.

[rdcllk]

He'd be hard pressed to get anything better then he has how. CBR. Has the cars and drivers to get wins

[IZZOJR16]

Richards in #14 LOVE IT! I like when drivers switch to a different # when going to a different team!
