Robert Starett dropped the news... super pumped for next year and for the opportunity to drive for for Robert and Joey and AirMax Motorsports. Two of the best people in racing. I can’t wait thank you guys.

Good to hear, couple young guys getting a shot.

Tyler looks awful good👍 Very exciting last night at Lancaster and again tonight at Carolina.

Who’s AirMax motorsports?

[zyoung25]

Airmax is the name of Staretts business, (airmax heating and cooling.) It's a fairly new team. He has drove for himself some for the last couple years in the southern Ohio region.

I dunno if jumping in with two cars is the right thing right off the bat. I’m happy for Tyler, but adding James too the fold too. The money it’ll take to run two teams, when you’ve only been small scale, dang.

Good luck though, I like Tyler, and James has talent.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Agreed. Maybe it just means he gives James a car to go do what he wants with it?

Biggest detriment both of those driver's had was in the engine department. Think Rice was running an engine out of a modified all fall. Tyler's engine woes have been around for years. You don't have to have a mega $$$ wide bore to run in the Ohio Valley-Eastern Kentucky area, just something reliable that hasn't had way too many rebuilds on it. Maybe Zack Dohm will have a little competition next year.

I think it was Josh Rice that was running the steel block all fall.

WVMS requires a mega $$$ wide bore motor and then some.

I seem to think thats how its going to be. I know you have seen the young Snell boy they sponsor, they've claimed him as a "team driver." I feel like James is going to have the support, but Tyler is going to the main focus.

Haven't seen WVMS announce a WOO or Lucas event where most of those big motors exist. I have seen crates and mods race at WVMS. If it makes you happy I'll correct my statement to say 99% of the tracks in that area don't require a monster motor.

You are speaking about Josh Rice. He has 2 legit super engines. But, they were not ready to go.

There’s a $30,000 to win unsanctioned at WVMS next year. Also an $8k already scheduled.

Quoted wrong person. Meant to quote Bleedblue
