Overton the current day Scott Bloomquist?

Brandon was driving a super when he was 13.

I don't know how old he is now, but he was running crates and limited stuff back in the 2008 time frame.

He was still running some crate events when I moved down here in 2013. Probably due to the lack of an abundance of super shows in this area.

I raced with Brandon (back in the mid to late 2000's) in Supers- great kid and family. They had the funds but he truly learned and stepped up over the years. He has earned everything he has and wish him nothing but the best, down to earth for sure.

He's come a long ways from the days of the Budweiser car.

No doubt about that……we watched him a lot in that car around the Carolinas and it was kinda painful at times.
Practice makes perfect I guess……I think what makes him as fast as he is has as much to do with his attitude and smarts. I wasn’t for a long time but like the song says…” I’m a believer”.

Barbeque,

They obviously had some things wrong with that program. I couldn't understand why they did so bad, as an uninvolved observer, but I knew he was way better than that.

The days that a guy could do something with a bad car, have probably been gone 30 years in this sport. And a car with a real technical edge can elevate an average guy as well.

Thanks MB, always appreciate your insight…….

Lol crazy. There WILL. Never be another Bloomer in the sport, just like there will never be another Ruth,Jordan,Brady,Ali in our lifetime. Let’s not forget Bloomer and his father built his empire. I mean sure the kid is a gem of a talent, one of the best right now, but let’s be honest here, my grandma could win a race or two with that team and that car/s. Put any hot shoe in that car and watch the wins pile up. For my money Pierce and Moran are the two best young talent in the sport. I’m actually waiting for Pierce to break away from his family team, and actually race for one of these monster teams, he will rewrite the record book. I often think what Pierce would do in the Rocket house car, IMO that’s a scary thought.

I'd rather say that Brandon Overton is the first Brandon Overton.

I agree 100%. He sure is in a league of his own.

[4Barrel]

Obamaracing#1 is correct. Overton is hot right now. Let us know when he designs his own fuel cell, designs his own chassis, etc. to help contribute to the performance of the car. Bloomquist sat in the back next to a clear fuel tank to watch how the fuel splashed around and thought about how he could use that to make his car better. That's not something many racers do.

[Slideways]

I don't have any doubt that in time, Overton will also do all that.

[Barbecueboy]

This isn’t a slam even though some will say it is…..I don’t think BP would do any better on a super team. He and they just seems like they thrive and succeed with the whole “ us against the world, everyone is against us” mantra they wear on their shoulders.
Now if someone steps up and throws unlimited funds for them to buy and replace what gets torn up and still stay together as the mystery machine team…..that would be lethal…..until everyone got tired of fighting or meeting at off ramps.

BP would probably be more suited for midgets or sprints considering his rim riding expertise. His style and Overtons are total opposites.
As far as the Rocket house car, BShepp is far better than BP as he can perform anywhere on the track and run the cushion just as well.

You put them on the track together and tell them to run the cushion only.......BP will win 7 outa 10! He's the best ive seen on the cush!

Now points racing......Bshep will win 7 outa 10! Plus hes sheet metal friendly and ie crew friendly!

Yes B. P. is good in that way.

Eric wells drove that program for how many years? Won how many races? Give the dude his credit

The difference between BP and BO... BO went out on the road and learned to do it himself. From the outside it sure looked like he begged borrowed and did everything but stole rides to keep going down the road no matter how bumpy it got. The sport takes grit and BP doesn't have anywhere near as much as BO. He put in his time or whatever you prefer to call it and it shows. I believe Marlar in his younger years had a similar path
