    I've watched a few races now since the split. Koehler has been throwing a lot of money around in the last couple of years. He needs to take a little of it and get Thornton a decent car. Thornton is driving it as hard as it will go but it's obvious the car is down on power. Maybe if they will get him what he had at SSI, he will start winning again. It's not going to happen in what he is driving now.

        How is it obvious it's down on power? He's qualifying pretty well. He didn't dominate pole awards in the SSI car

          HIs car isn't coming out of the corners the way he's used to and it seemed like he was compensating Saturday by driving IN to the corners hard.

            It looked pretty close to me, at the stops before Huset's. Fwiw, Hudson wasn't good at Huset's either.

              I have to agree neither looked that good at Huset's but, Bobby and Devin did though.

                He has a Cornett but a very good chance not the version that Devin has been running since he has been on his hot streak.

                  I'd be shocked if the engine is the reason.

                    I could not agree more! He has shown speed and there have been times where the Koehler lad has as well in that ride.

                      Masterturdbilt surely everyone in the pits knows Ricky's secret by now. How was he able to pull off tonight's a$$ whipping?

                        Now they'll say "Well it's Rumley, even Kyle Larson could win in that car...."

                        Sigh.

                          Is RTJ in Rumley just for the weekend? I can't seem to catch up with who he is going to race with the rest of the season. Please help an older man keep up with the RTJ situation. Owens team mate or not?
                          Great race last night and congrats to RTJ and Babb for that matter

                                Everyone? I seriously doubt it.

                                It was quite impressive how he willed that heap, owned by the dumbest guy in racing, to a victory.
