    You need a driver, a winner...Marlar is the man...
    I like Marlar and hes a class act... But how well was that setup working at Lernerville? He struggled badly most of the weekend - Oh, and somehow that non-driver in the 6 car happened to win.

    Marlar is one of the best in the business no doubt - but to say hes better than Bloomquist or that McCredie was a bad replacement for the 6 is short sighted.

      There is no possible way you can make a blanket statement like that and be serious. Way too many good drivers out there.
      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

        There’s more to the 6 car deal than what was let on. And is probably a big reason Scott wouldn’t want him. McCreadie is a great pic, and so is Babb with Scott. Scott likes Babb a lot.

          There is certainly more than was let on. But, I do t know who to put the finger on. Both guys been involved in deals where the real truth didn't come to light. Babb vs Marlar? I take Marlar every time.

            I think Marlar is really tight with Integra and that’s why it didn’t work out with the 6. There is nothing wrong with either party in such a scenario, sometimes business is just business.

                There is a lot of good drivers but like I said all things equal with the cars no set up help just the driver doing the set up Mike wins majority I think there's only a handful of guys ever that can do both the level Mikey does

                  Maybe the reason Marlar & Rumley didn’t work out (besides the different shock brands) is that Kevin doesn’t own a motor,a hauler & is operating in a boat shop of a friend. With this being said:he has a car with Bradshers motor & his knowledge? Still a lot of pieces there for someone to put together to race. 🏁🏁

                      You are correct s.s.- I was just stating some facts about possible reasons the Marlar/Rumley deal didn’t work out. At the time of their announcement-Ronnie Delk was selling out his equipment. When they went to Volusia-Delk furnished the power plant & hauler. Rumley has a car & his expertise- but it takes much more to get to the track & compete. Yes- they are making it work !! 🏁🏁

                        Yes. The shop hes in is a seperate building from business.

                          Marlar had an off week at the Firecracker, no doubt about it. That said, if you look at his past performance at Lernerville he’s usually d@mn good. Finished second in 2017 and 2018. I’m not wading into the who’s best argument, seems pointless.

                            Ya pretty pointless when it's so money and resource dependent now days. I'd say JD and Mikey are top two right now, I'd go out and say if Mikey was on the Lucas tour JD would have his hands full.

                              You know marlar has been at alot of the races sheppard has won this year. Just sayin... and im pretty sure the rumleys were perfectly capable of putting all of the above mention missing pieces together they just had not before delk offered his up. Also not trying bash anyone im a fan of both drivers. But i also think to say marlar would be giving jd a run for his money is a little naive. It's a pretty well known fact that alot of luck played into marlars championship. Not that he didn't deserve it but any one of those three could have been champion.
