    I do remember that when he first started. And yeah, it definitely worked for him at I80.

    I know it comes off as me picking on him, and his nickname, but it just makes me shake my head when I see someone with a lot of talent thrash a car to go nowhere.

    Sometimes you just gotta settle for 3-5. I think right now they cannot get the car to roll through the center. Whether it’s Bobby, whether it’s the set up, no idea. And yeah, he’s going to win some nailing the cushion. But a lot of times it goes away, or is just too hard on the car.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

      Right... CBF... I'm not sure but, not having power steering and or no breaks might have a little bit to do with it as well. Idk... Just maybe...

        How "soon" will he start showing it!

          Well... He has won... The World 100, The North South 100, The Show Me 100, The Jackson 100, The pittsbuger 100 & a couple of wins @ the Dome. He might show it @ sometime in his career. I guess only time will tell...

            It’s wreckers or checkers for pierce. Like someone else stated. Sometimes the car is it not good good enough win. Need to settle for a good finishing spot. For all the wins he has. How many engines has he popped in the last couple years. I know he isn’t using cheap engines. Pro power is a pretty good darn engine. Plus how much equipment has he trashed this year?

              I don't know anything about them, but I'd be willing to bet he doesn't do his own sheet metal work or pay for RR axle tubes lol.

                I’m sure the pierce family is racing to make a living. Hard to when he pops engines left and right.

                    It’s racing buddy. Mechanical parts will eventually fail. Some drivers abuse the equipment

                      With three Hell Tour Championships back, to back & back & 2nd this year. He might be doing something right. Just a guess... - Last year...

                        Nope, I never said that. I said he has input and knows more than just getting behind the wheel. If they chose to run the cushion, they accept the consequences. Pretty sure the goal isn't to beat the hell out of it. But feel free to twist it how you want.

                          Step up from the b team and run with the a team.There is reason. Why he doesn’t run woo or Lucas series. Blows too many engines and tears up too much equipment. Which car owner is going want that?

                              Well, he owns his own stuff so he must be ok with it.

                                He didn’t last year. Wonder why he isn’t driving the Dunn benson ford now?
