I think the racing in general would be more interesting if we had more Chasis brands to follow on the National level. Right now- it’s predominantly Rocket then longhorns. It would be cool to see Mastersbuilt, Black Diamond, Bloomquist, Krptonite, Laser, Swartz & the others with more cars out there mixing it up in the series & Crown Jewels. CJ Rayburn use to say” they always come back- but unfortunately in his case- in the end they didn’t. Right now Rocket has the market covered & hats off to Mark Richards & Steve Baker for the company they have built! Personally, I would like to see more diversity. In the past- these things have went in cycles- but the guys in West Virginia have it together as of now. Who knows what might be “the next best thing.”

No idea. Gilpin was almost good enough to win the World a few years ago. Probably whatever year one last ran the whole tour.

My thoughts exactly....and I would throw in Barry Wright and his Icon chassis as well. Nothing against Rocket, I am a big fan, but it seems like they and Longhorn have command of the market nationally. However, there is plenty of room on the regional level for the rest. All those other brands have shown success over the years.

On any given night any good chassis can win if the right people are behind it the problem becomes when said good chassis gets wrecked and you need it fixed or a new one just like it. The boutique guys build quality pieces and with the right guy tweaking on them they can all win. But it's hard to keep the big names both regionaly and nationally coming back if you can't provide volume and consistency. Especially in the parts department

You are exactly right!
In the above post I should have included Barry Wright & Capitol Race Cars as well!

Looking at the history on DoD, it looks like Jamie Lathroum was the last Mastersbuilt/MBH to win a Lucas Oil race. Sept 2012 at VMS.

And he was the original mbh car. That where it all started and masterbilts were the only thing him and his family ever ran. He now drives a rocket....

Did Don O'Neal go winless in 2013? Surely not.
