            its hard to feel the rr in those cars, I've driven them, you have to drive really straight, it take some getting used to, if it starts to rotate from the rear its over with

              Said he bottomed out and lost the front end. This was on his warm up lap, not even up to speed

                Said he thinks it may have bottomed out as the nose took off but wasn't sure.
                Basically admitted to not being prepared, said he needed to go run some laps somewhere else and come back with a setup a little more in the ball park. They were there just to have fun, but seemed surprised to how out of ball park they were the way everything was said.

                World of Outlaws Dirt Late Model champion @MikeMarlar doesn't know if it was cold tires or a mechanical issue that bit him on the warm-up lap of his first Super Late Model qualifying attempt. He didn't sound like a guy that was ready to go home, but that's also a lot of damage.

                  Really like the guy, but to pick one of the biggest asphalt races of the year at a place like Nashville to start racing supers on asphalt seemed like a bad choice from the start. But I hope he sticks with it next year and runs a few, gets better at it and shows some other folks just how good he is.

                    they run those cars so close to bottoming out its crazy, ill bet the tires needed some heat, the warm up laps are just for that reason,
                    in the end I'm just saying its a different world, I've been lucky enough to be around both
                    but the front end of a dirt late model is very close to an asphalt car

                      Some guys are really good on dirt. Some are really good on pavement. Get the picture Mike, stay doing what your good at because it really isn't pavement. You have a sponsor that many others would love to have. You keep bending up the asphalt car that money may dry up.

                        I'd love to see Mike continue on asphalt but I'm not sure showing up for the All American 400 is a good idea if it's only your second or third asphalt start. They maybe should have run some more weekly races first.

                          I had a buddy that drove at Lebanon with Larry Phillips and he said the same thing, once it breaks loose it's gone there's no saving it, however I seen Larry have it sideways lots of times and not spin, but Larry wasn't your average driver...

                            Didn’t he crash the first lap or two in one of his recent truck racing attempts?

                              Well when the money dries up and he is ride less nobody will get it. It's not like there's a list of sponsors waiting in line to sponsor a dirt slm.
