How much longer will EPJ be on a National tour?

[84wedge]

He eeks out about one win a year and goes through provisionals like crazy. How long until a more competitve, hungry driver gets the ride, or does he have stock in Lucas Oil and the chassis he runs?

[Barbecueboy]

I think its just called mutual respect between 2 guys that are great friends.......don't think Earl owns stock, but he might.

EPJ, is a guy that brings cash to the table. I just don't believe it's enough cash to get into a xr-1 or something other than the garbage he's been running since he left dunn-Benson.

When you say EPJ brings cash to the table: are you talking about the Lucas Oil Sponsorship?

[84wedge]

I've always thought he was in the flagship car for the series considering he's the only guy on the Lucas tour with a big LUCAS on the front.

I think it goes more like he and Mr Lucas grilled wild boar pork chops they killed with a bow together.......or something like that.

That will help his cause for sure.

It's all about who you know.

Will he be in a Black Diamond again for 2021?

More like them big bucks they kill on his ranch around Christmas every year!

Will he be in a Black Diamond again for 2021?

I heard earlier in the year that 2021 would most likely be his last season racing full time. Reason I heard was because his son is getting more involved in racing and he wants to do more on that side of things. Time will tell. I think the real question is how long will Stuckey continue fielding a car after Earl leaves? Especially since Jason Rauen got out of black diamond stuff and is said to be wanting to cash out of his part of that business/ race team.

Foxfire, yes. I think Forrest Lucas will be behind EPJ for as long as he cares to continue. As for the black diamond, it's junk on a national tour. It mite make a good crate car but that's about it.

It's one small tweak from winning, like all the other cars that aren't.

That's true. Lot of folks have new friends all the time.
