Thing is they usually ended up winning or on the podium at the end of the night. They drove their azz off! That's why no one in Western Pa will ever sniff Bob Wearing Sr's record of 626 wins.....
    Mr. Invitation was a big fish in a pretty big pond ! Some of these boys have won a hundred or so races locally running for years at about a half dozen tracks. They are the big fish in a little pond. And a few western Pa boys went on to national stardom winning all over the U.S. We call them the biggest fish in the biggest pond ! LOLOL !

        Folks spend thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of dollars on race cars and they don't want to race them.

          Guess instead of Superman he’ll be Jonathan “SilverSpoon” Davenport. What a crybaby. Is he saying that if he would have gotten a flat in a (time trial) heat race he wouldn’t have tried to go back to the front after changing his tire. He can’t blame anybody/format for stuffing it in the fence except himself.

          Racers especially the very well funded teams should not have any say in the format. Either show up and race or stay home. I don’t understand how he thinks that since his team has more invested that he should be catered to. Seems he’s lost sight of fans want to see racing not follow the leader.

              I don't have a side here but the reason most passing point shows are pill draw is because when they where time trial and one straight up heat then one inverted heat you would have two many guys like bloomer sandbaging to land in the middle of a heat. And i don't blame them (you make the rules and we figure out the best way to run within them)

                This thread is comical. Now were comparing Western Pa locals to top tier national drivers. How many of Wearings wins from the back of the field had 12-15 cars just as good as him in front of him? Yet you expect 49, 0, 32, 1, 20, 157, 39 etc. to win from the rear when they have the 49, 0 32 1 20 157, 39 etc in front of them.

                  Yes. The winner of the race is usually better than all of the other cars on the track regardless of who they are. In all of the pill draw races that I've been to the best car has won.

                    Ask him. He's been on Twitter discussing it with people in a professional manner.

                      Yeah, you are comical considering that Wearing didn't win not 1 but 4 CONSECUTIVE Hillbilly 100s at the notoriously 1 lane famous daytime hot sun very 1 lane Pennsboro Speedway ! Anybody that has been around dirt late model for over a few decades knows that the best of the best in the U. S. migrated to the big crown jewel [ at the time] that the magic of Pennsboro offered !

                          This is really something.
                          5 pages cause a race team left the track.
                          A (team-driver) has bad luck.loads up to go home and try to get ready
                          for a race the following week .
                          That BTW he is( leading the points in) and people get on here
                          and go all tohell over cause the team left the track.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                          I can watch any kind of format but I am old school and think that if you
                          earn the fast time - pole, then you should start on the (POLE).

                          How many times have any of you herd JD bitchh,moan,cry, like
                          Madden or some of the other drivers????

                          Some of you just cant stand to see him beat some of your favorite
                          drivers and are just flat out jealous, which is so childish.

                          Grow up,,,, go a setttt,,,,and go tell him to his face how
                          you cant stand him.

                          Some of you are just little ( PUSSSSYYYY'sss)
                          GOOODDD DAYYY.

                                If you would get your nose out of bloomers rear end ,you might
                                be able to see something.

                                Maybe you need to go snort some with him.
