    Was precisely my point.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

      I'm with Highside on this one. They're both great and I've watched both in open wheel dirt cars quite a bit, but idk. Larson is definitely more capable at this stage, IMO.

      Remember when Stewart led for a number of laps at The Dream several years ago? Then, Bloomer rolled up on him, used him up, drove by and ran away while Smoke's car was done. Smoke raced him hard, but Bloomer knew exactly how to wear him out in a DLM. As much as I didn't like it, that's what he did.

      I have a feeling that if Larson or Bell gets in a SLM, they'll be given the same treatment by the best LM drivers, at least for a while. They regularly outrun open wheel guys because that's their roots. DLMs are not their roots and they're quite different. However, if Larson and Bell get some races in SLMs under their belts, they'll be competitive real quick. And, of course, they'll be able to get in top-notch equipment immediately. Not sure we'll see either one of them do it though.

      Go 18!!

            That was a great race between Stewart and Bloomer for 70 laps. Then Bloomer's experience took over .That is the way I remember the race, with Bloomer winning

              They all run together anymore... lol

              Guys I’m telling you that was 2009... not 2008.... Tony Stewart didn’t race the Dream in 2008

                I was incorrect. It was 2009 & Owens did win. Bloomer was 2nd & Stewart faded to 6th.

                    That was the year Jimmy smoked for over 3/4ths of the race wasn't it?

                      Actually, fatty is correct. It was 2009 when Stewart and Scott battled for numerous laps, but at the end, it was Owens with the win.

                        I also stand corrected, I remember the battle of the two and just assumed I remember the winner. Apparently NOT/smile

                          I see Larson running full time Outlaws Sprints or Outlaws or Lucas late models. I don’t think he has the endurance race 330 lap NASCAR stuff figured out. He has a few good tracks like Bristol. He is better at the 30 to 50 lap races.

                            CIRF is 100 % right in this instance. Tony Stewart couldn't carry the lunch pail of Jack { Do it to it }Hewitt ! ! ! ! ! !

                              As long as he's with Ganassi you will not see the best out of him from Nascar in my opinion but, I do agree you might see him run with the Woo sprints.

                                How is Bristol a good track when he's never won there? He has 6 wins in like 7 years? 3 of those are at the same track and the 4th is at what some call a sister track to the other track he has 3 wins at.
                                2020 race count:
                                1/2 of an event
