Just curious to know if Joey Coulter is happy with the way his "System" is working out so far. The team has made two races in speedweeks and they were both provisional starts. I understand this is a new driver but at some point in time you have to look at the program. The only one that was successful in the car was Brandon Overton and he struggled last year in the beginning. My honest opinion I believe Harrold struggles with setting up a car for the drivers and since Joey and Harrold have been together since day 1 he will always side with his crew chief.

I was surprised when Overton left that ride, but after hearing interviews it seems that Overton and Holly just didn't compliment each other well. If I were team owner, I would have kept Overton at all costs. -
I'm surprised they got 2 provisionals.Comment

I agree 100% you had the most success with him than the team has ever had but didn't want to keep him. I forsee Overton winning alot this year. He is already pushing 50k in winnings this year.Comment

Overton wanted to travel more, and Rum Runner wanted to stay regional. I don't think Rum Runner thought they were going to make many of the shows at Speedweeks, I don't think Williams has much experience in Supers - more of a development driver.Comment

LM1M I agree but I think it still came down to what Harrold wants and that's all that stands with that team. I hope PLW has success I just don't see it coming with this team.Comment

Wish Brandon had an actual website like others and had a lists of his wins on it. It would seem as though if someone had a driver that's won races and some upwards of $20k, wanted to travel more you'd do what it takes to get that done2020 race count:
1/2 of an eventComment

I really think Overton shines this year, maybe a kind of year like his first year with Randy Weaver. Brandon gets to call the shots on the car and not have someone go against what he wants done to the car like he had last year.Comment

Definitely agree with ya there. Seemed like him and Harold butted heads and Harold had the final say so. And with Wells, they are going to try it Brandon’s way. I think they’ll be pretty good.Originally posted by jsav View PostUp in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

And that's another reason I believed they went with PLW is because this is his first bigtime ride and he would not question the "System" which is Harrold makes the decisions and you just shut up and drive and be happy with what you get.Comment

Yep, I think he and Eric will win a lot of races together. Brandon said that his initial phone call with Eric only lasted about five minutes because Eric was willing to give him whatever he wanted. Eric knows what it takes to run a team and go up and down the road and Brandon sure as hell knows how to wheel a racecar. The more time they have together, the deadlier they'll get. I sure hope Brandon has found a long-term deal. If the leadership issues at Rum Runner are true then that's definitely concerning going forward, but I think it was known that the Williams deal would take some time to build up.Originally posted by jsav View PostComment

Overton and Wells is going to be an extremely strong team together. Rum Runner shoulda went with someone like Bailes or another already steady regional hot shoe. PLW is a nice story, but I don’t see it being successfulComment
-
Jabber I think they went with PLW because it is his first bigtime ride and he was already use to doing what Harrold said and just go with it. I have heard stories from last year that most or the races Brandon won, Brandon was the one setting the car up and not Harrold, but that is hear say. I believe with a driver like Ross he would question the system also.Comment

PLW just ain't showing much so far. Unless he is supplementing with the expenses, I don't see this lasting past Easter.Comment

I don't see how that could be a surprise.Originally posted by zach51 View PostModern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment
