    I wouldn't go to my own wedding if it was on a raceday, let alone a friend or family members.

      Hence the better average finish and similar ranking and much better attitude within the team........oh, and Devin actually takes part in the maintenance program and shows up at the shop.

      But who's counting?

        GOOD DAY!
        I had a Farrah fawcett poster on my wall .....I used to spin things in her favor too.

          the $ there saving on parts = the wins bobby had with them. if not more $ there saving. and Moran moved to the shop.

            So Moran is living up to his end of the deal??? What a novel idea.

              Pretty much spot on, and in some cases everyone is ok with that. I like both Bobby and Devin, but comparing those two are like apples and oranges. Devin is more conservative and content, Bobby always willing to throw one in the trash can for a win. I don't know which scenario plays out best financially for DB.... Devin's consistency and saving the equipment, or Bobby harder on equipment but bringing home bigger checks/always a legitimate threat. I will say, if my team is financially in good shape and I had to take one of those two to a crown jewel with a reasonable expectation to win it... its obviously Pierce. I travelled a few years with a 410 sprint team, and if there is one thing I learned in that time is to compete for wins, selling t-shirts and attracting sponsors, you have to go out each night and drive like that car wont see another day. If you go out there to save your stuff and "just finish in the top ten", and the mindset not to push things... you may luck out here and there if the starting spot and track works out just right, but largely you will get it handed to you. Maybe DB is just fine with being one of those teams and having fun with it?

                There are only a few that even want to make the comparisons between the two.......and when they do it's always painted as a self portrait of the whine maker making the comparison.

                Balls out driving to win and doing it your way no matter what and in what setting ......Bobby by a mile.

                Good driver, team player, great attitude and no circus .....not even close, Moran by two miles.

                And looking at the lolm rankings and dollars, not a ton of difference either way.

                    Statistically his brother will have more weddings, but there are only so many chances to win a globe.

                      Certainly not a favorite, but he could have won. Just means 50-200 less laps on the track to learn from.

                        Not sure where you're getting your stats I'm sure Moran has 15-20 years to win a globe. Dont see his brother getting married that many times.

                          How many times did Freddy Smith try to win a globe... only so many chances...

                            We aren't talking about freddy smith, Moran is young and unless eldora just shuts down I'm sure he has at least 10 chances to get one.

                              For people that take marriage as serious as they should you don't get that many chances to find the right spouse either.

                              Solid decision by Devin to support his family IMO.

                                And only one chance to go to his brothers first ( and hopefully last) wedding.
