[Tireguy17]

What does this mean for the sport?

Longhorn expands their footprint.

[84wedge]

Are they going to buy an engine manufacturer next and get a good monopoly going?

What does this mean for the sport?

Nothing but more expense & everyone going to one brand eventually most likely.

[Josh Bayko]

The last thing late model racing needs is less chassis manufacturers.

Needs less Steve Arpin.

[Henry Every]

Does this mean Black Diamond is done? Sounds like a fancy dealership setup to me. How is this different from what Wells was doing?

[Tireguy17]

Needs less Steve Arpin.

Blame the other manufacturers for not being forward thinking and striking a similar deal.
I get and agree that Longhorn controlling almost all of the success is not good for the sport, but in no way will I blame Arpin, Rumley or anyone else associated with Longhorn for where things are. They have made smart business decisions: Get the best people and drivers together and dominate. Its up to the others to make decisions to cut into their market share the same way Longhorn did.

But I guess it is okay to try and get a hired driver fired because he tested a different chassis? This was a bailout for stuckey

At this point, rocket may as well sell out to longhorn so we can just go ahead and take next big step of being as lame as nascar.

Rocket needs to find a young guy to co-own the place. Mark & Steve ain't getting any younger. They certainly seem to have lost the plot over last 5 years.

How have they "lost the plot" they still build quality cars that are competitive at every level. Their service is second to non. Just because their not dominating nationally doesn't mean a thing. Racing goes up and down rocket will be just fine.

[Highside Hustler25]

Can't wait to hear from the Longhorn nuthuggers when Rocket gets back on track. It will eventually happen.
