Other DLM Chassis Manufacturers

[BTExpress]

I know the current state of Dirt Models is dominated by mostly Longhorn with still enough Rockets across the country, especially on the national tours, but can not figure out how the smaller manufacturers stay in business. Do they cater to the crate and limited teams? Just off the top.of my head, I came up with the following companies. Barry Wright, Mastersbuilt, Capitol, Excel, AK, Double Nickle, Lazer, Warrior, CVR. TnT, Stinger, and Savage. I am sure I missed a few others, but there must be a heck of a lot of teams running Late Models to keep these others in business. I wish there were a little more parity in the sport other than one or two chassis companies, but maybe that is just me. Wonder what others think.

Kryptonite- The Carpenter boys from WV have a good regional business throughout the mid Ohio valley. They probably do more cars than anyone on your list.

This DirtTrackr interview with Mike Nuchols of Warrior Race Cars might be of interest you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdBYbi0wuXs He talks a lot about the state of the market below the top level super late model series.

MB Customs (Jimmy and Chris Mars) has an awful lot of cars running very well up in WISSOTA country. They also build one of the best mod chassis in the nation (USMTS multi year champion).

In my opinion, Boland builds some of the best looking Street Stocks in the country, I did not realize he also builds Late Model chassis.
