A Few USA Nationals Observations

There is way more behind the scenes of the Arnie/Shirley deal than what is speculated on 4m. I'll leave it at that, b/c it's like politics...nobody is going to change their mind.

That said, if I was Culllen, I would've pulled off the Lucas tour this year too. Given the covid deal, their standing in Lucas oil points, and the chance to clean up on the S/N, that's what makes the most sense for them. They can still hit up select WoO/Lucas shows. Seems to me that's the team plan every year. Run a tour until S/N time, and then re-evaluate.

Let's not forget the $$$$ Arnie put into 3s Shirley and went nowhere a few years back, what, 7th or 8th in LODLMS points before he faded away. Out driven and had the best of equipment (4 new cars) and more backing then he'll ever see again. Shirley rewarded Arnie with his smart mouth when it came to any "team-mate" information, only thing 3s spread was excuses and ill will. At least Arnie wised up and got away from that deadbeat operation. All mouth and no go!

Um...it was the WoO tour, and I wouldn't exactly call Larson Shirley's teammate. Larson needs way more help than just setup notes.

It sure was good to see Scrub have a good run. Man do I miss seeing that Orange #24 competing up front. He was my favorite for many years on the WoO tour.
