        Has the switch to Black Diamond been confirmed ? I do not see anything on the Cade Dillard website about the switch to Black Diamond.

            assuming most of this has to do with him making his own CDR Modifieds now and possibly Shane Sprinkle's (car owner) decision to make the move if the support or "deals" weren't going to be there from MB going forward... Stuckey still makes a fast/nice piece and they are still fast all over the country every weekend just not too many out there running up and down the road making dirt on dirt headlines.

              besides dillard who was fast in an MB last year? they seem strong in their region but not so much nationally. Cade is a hands on guy, more so than EPJ, theyll get them figured out

                From what I've heard is that Shane was kicking around the idea of getting a different chassis since the late models havent made much progress as much as the mod chassis have. Jimmy caught wind of it, they got into it and basically Jimmy told them to kick rocks and forget about the MB by Dillard mod chassis.

                  It looks like all of the notable guys that ran MB, have all jumped ship, except maybe Unzicker, Im not sure about him.

                    So they copied the MB Customs mods, and late models, Stucky will build the cars and put CDR badge on the back of the mods, and the same thing with the late model but will put a Black Diamond sticker on them. Hasn’t that been the Stucky business model for years dating back to the Masters Built and then the Club 29/ Black Diamond disaster

                      I believe Ashton Winger was using MB Customs on the Hell Tour and had a few wins in them.

                        Winger had an MB Customs and promptly rolled it. They then took out their older Rocket back up car while they put in an order for another MB, then his new deal came along. I don't believe any of the SN wins he had were in his new car, all were in the backup car. The only other time Winger would have drove an MB was when Sam Mars let him drive his car at Red Cedar for a WoO LM show when Winger broke in qualifying.

                        Drivers jump on and off horses all the time, some many times during the season. Sometimes a chassis "has it" for a while and sometimes they go in a lull. Last season MB mods and late models had 696 known feature wins across the nation. They build a very good car and Chris is one of the exceptional engineers in the sport, they'll be fine.
                        Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

                              Geographically it makes sense but that is the only thing that I see here that makes sense.

                                Winger won 3 Summer Nationals races in an MB at Knox County, Thunderbird, & Oakshade. And 3 in a Rocket at Clarksville, Tri City, & Merritt.
