    Devin Gilpin

    Another Late Model win for Gilpin, is he the next big regional guy along side Bobby Pierce, Feger, Babb, Shirley the others over there in UMP country? His success in the Modifieds certainly seems to be transferring over almost immediately.

    Thanks,
    Jeff.

    No, not yet anyway.

    In order to be a big regional guy, he must win against others that are considered to be the same. As far as I know that hasn't happened yet.

      I agree with that, but with his history its hard not think that he will be there very soon. Its great to see someone come from Modifieds into the Late Models with such immediate success. That just shows how great the competition in the Modifieds is, especially in UMP country.

      Thanks,
      Jeff.

        His first forray into lates was underwhelming. But he looks good now. I used to think that he just had a better car with the mod. But it is clear that he is pretty talented behind the wheel. To make a big splash, he will have to be with the right team. The guy is for real though.

          He's certainly a pick to win anytime he shows up in the mod. I didn't see what happened in the Late on Friday at Moler but he was out of the race when I walked up to watch the feature. I think with time he'll be hard to beat in the late model as well.

            There is always room for one more good regional LM driver. The American dream, is still alive.

              I hope he runs the hell tour. If he does, he will improve tremendously by the time it's over. Laps, laps, and more laps.

                  He's for sure got the talent to compete. Seat time is all he needs.

                    I used to think the same thing with the mod, I heard the car he had is the same he's had for for a few years, so I asked him in Florida, he replied with a "yeah buddy it is, it's 4 years old."

                    I think he'll do well, as long as Beeman stays behind him.
