It kinda looks like its been a Longhorn ROUT starting out this year. I'm a thinking that if Bloomer would strap himself into a Horn he may find the winners circle again ? ? Just saying...Originally posted by fuzzyracing View PostHere it is again! So many people expect to by a chassis and instantly be running up front.. Brandon is as smooth as they get, deffinatly compare him to Bloomquist and Moyer years back..

I know reading comprehension isn't very good here but the argument isn't over all time accolades. It's a comparison of how dominant Overton is now to how dominate Scott could be throughout his career.

As everyday fan it is easy to say that since Oveeton is winning that he is the best driver around. And that is true but with the technology of today's cars it is about 50/50 driver talent and setup. 2 years ago everyone said that the Rocket cars was so dominant and that B Sheep was the next Bloomquest! Now that Longhorn has found something to make their cars faster everyone is on the Overton or Davenport train. Today's driver can't win without a great setup and crew. Drivers of the early 2000's had to feather the car more than today even on a slick track.
So to try and compare one driver to another needs to take the car into the equation as well. JMO

You speak a lot of truth, but Overton is better than most. I saw that 13 years ago. He would beat most of the guys he's racing, if you put them in his other car.Originally posted by MidTnDirtFan View PostAs everyday fan it is easy to say that since Oveeton is winning that he is the best driver around.

Appears like the Overtons do it the right way. They work their way up to the Super Late models. Go through the lower divisions and learn and move up gradually.Originally posted by MasterSbilt_Racer View PostHaven't watched him nearly as much. I'd call him capable, not superstar material.

You're comparing a short sample of Overtons dominance to an entire career of Scotts dominance. Overton is having a hot streak. Jimmy Owens had a hot streak. Jonathan Davenport had a hot streak. Several past and present drivers have had hot streaks. It's nothing new.Originally posted by Pennsboro32 View PostI know reading comprehension isn't very good here but the argument isn't over all time accolades.
