Considering I know more than 5 regional teams who have 3 cars ready to go, I don't think it's far fetched to expect that guys who race for a living would. I'd think if you are running WOO or Lucas and on the road that much you'd want that for piece of mind.

I was kind of shocked to see full time WoO drivers in the past couple weeks who seemed to be unprepared to roll out a backup car and race. Strickler without a motor in the backup, Dillard unable/unwilling to unload a backup, and Bloomer opting to change an engine rather than have a backup car ready to roll. For all the fancy-a$$ stacker trailers and haulers, these teams seemed no more prepared for adversity than Ruhlman running the STARS tour with a pickup truck and open trailer 30-odd years ago.

I would of thought most would of used their backup cars to save their primary cars in chance of totalling them like some did.

I would say that many in the big time racing business are unsure if this season will return to unresricted crowds or not. Why spend if not needed.Originally posted by Jerky View PostI was kind of shocked to see full time WoO drivers in the past couple weeks who seemed to be unprepared to roll out a backup car and race.

In DOD article today by Kevin Kovac: Ricky Weiss said the car he raced at Bristol was a 3 year old car he built at Bloomquist Shop in Mooresburg. Had updated it from a crate car. So I guess it was a SnipeQuist!
