Rigsby report with Mark Richards

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

In CJs glory days, there was no central power in dirt late model and we didn't invent new, stupid rules every 6 months.

Let's talk longhorn, the 6 car is a threat when it comes through the pit gate. Yet the Labonte's choose not to fund or get there hands dirty in regards to a house car.

why would longhorn fund a house car program when theyve been 1 of the 2 fastest cars out there for the last 7 years without one? other than it being a tax write off MRE is using blue1 for its not a necessity

Whenever I read race write-ups no matter the publication they refer to #39 as the Paylor Motorsports Longhorn house car.

[Pennsboro32]

Longhorn and other chassis manufactures still have a long way to go before they knock rocket off their pedestal.

Rocket comprises something like 66% of the WoO touring roster and 45% of the LOLMDS. Capitals are looking faster and faster and Longhorns are the dominant cars this year with Overton, Davenport, Moran and McCreadie in the points lead. Who knows what the next ten years will hold?

Wonder what the two look like in the same time frame of operations…..

Longhorn started around 11 years ago ish…..was rocket as established and solid after their first 11 ish in operation?

Anyone that was around and can speak to that would be cool to hear?

They both make a great car, no doubt about it.

Marks in it just for the money.......thats hilarious!

Listen to the podcast and hear his breakdown of the 840k they won in 2019! If it wasnt for sponsorship, he woulda lost money!

And he'd sell 45 cars a year without that race team.

Hard to compare different eras of Rocket and Longhorn 30 years apart. Back when Rocket started there were more racers but most of them ran on shoestring budgets with one car. Nowadays there is more corporate and Nascar money in the sport and many of the well funded teams might go thru multiple chassis' during the year. As far as who had the biggest bankroll and funding to start their endeavor I'd say Longhorn by a mile.

[NeedforLM$peed]

What teams have Nascar money funding them?

I think hes refering to clint boyer racing

Well he says more corporate and Nascar funding. Meaning there's multiple teams with such funding. Bowyer has multiple business ventures so I would think it's hard to say how much Nascar money is involved plus the fact he's not even a active Nascar driver anymore. Even if there was any Nascar funding it sure doesn't show on a consistent basis. With two teams or even one. Even with one team it seems like a step down from other rides out there currently such as Rocket1, Double L, Paylor/Longhorn. Maybe even Best or the Wells ride. I would say there is way more Nascar/Corporate funding in sprint cars than anything.
