How will Davenport and Rumley do now that they are separated?

They aren’t really apart... Rumley is still going to work with Landers team just not travel with them...

When something works on your head, you never know. We will see how tough in the head, JD and Maylar are. Both are very good wheel men, it's just if they have what they need in their corner. Some need a cheerleader, some need a butt kicker and some just need someone to remind them, it's fun. If I had to choose, I think Maylar, might be in a little more of a comfort zone.

Maylar? Really?

How will they do? Just win another Lucas Title.

Marlar really ? Yea, why not ? Rumley won't be on site, you can't make the adjustments that these cars need today unless you see what the track is doing. Marlar is far more experienced in that than JD is. JD is a right foot wheelman, Marlar has the seat of the pants feel. As far as him not being there, he will be at the crown jewel races everybody knows that.

Davenport will probably drop off some. The Marlar deal is interesting to me. Marlar has been severely underrated most of his career. He is better than Davenport.

[bullittwrench]

Did Marlar make his own calls last year or did he have a "crew chief/engineer"?

Marlar called the shots in the 157.

I like Davenport but between the two of of them I'd take Marlar to, he'll be fine.

I'll bet Marlar does a lot less than some of you think for a different reason. Lee Roy will not be putting the engines together and at that, he excelled.

So does jack cornett

[dirty bert]

Mr Rumley has built motors that have ran with the best builders in the country so I'm not taking any thing away from him but I don't Mikey's going have any problems winning with Cornett's engines.

Ummmm....JD came within a rainout of losing the title to engine issues!

he is no dummy, 1 of 2 things will happen here, mikey can build and work on the cars himself and yes he knows how to use the hot wrench to his liking, so here we go from my stand point,1- two very smart and capable guys get together and find a ton of speed, and have a really good year, or 2- they have a power struggle and cant agree on what to do to the car and struggle, I'm going to go with one, he has to be the most underrated guy in a car today, even before this partnership, when he unloaded he was a threat to win, anywhere, hell he won the tour the first year out, give that man the resources and they all will be fighting for 2nd, except maybe for 4-5 other guys that have a realistic chance, the results prove it, the guy just gets it done
I'm sure the beatings will begin but day in and day out he is up front, in any car
sorry off subject, jd will be fine, he has the resources
