    Gilpin is talented, but, he will have to beat Jeremy Hines on a regular basis, as he is the local hot shoe in the area. I understand at this time Hines is really down on HP and is soon to have his motor back......so I for one look for some much better racing here locally as Hines gets his motor back, Stapleton continues to impress and Gilpin keeps on learning the late model ropes.....

      You don't need or use a ton of horsepower when the track is black and slick.

        Are the Crate cars running with the supers at Brownstown? Looking at past results it looks like a create car finished 5th the last night they ran.

          Yes there were several there that night. I believe the car that finished fifth was a crate car.

            The track was not black and slick the night Gilpin won. Price has changed things at Brownstown....most nights it hammer down.....

              like i said he hasnt beat anyone yet. hines is probably the best he has beat so far but he is another driver who hasnt beat anyone since he got hot the past few years. the local talent in the brownstown area is really down in my opinion

                Gilpin finished 4th or 5th in Late Model at florence last week . Looked good but didnt have anything for the front 2 cars of James or Rice . Likewise in the mods he ran second to Green but really didnt have anything for the him either . Once green cleared traffic he ran gilpin down, passed him, then ran off and left him . Gilpin has talent and looks good but as in all things time will tell . I hope he continues to race lates and mods .

                  Who has he actually beat? Modified included, sure he dominates at home town tracks but I've never seen him go to a big show and steal it away or travel out of his area and steal the show

                    I wouldnt call Moler or Florence hometown tracks seeing theyre a few hours from his hometown. Seen him outrun Matt Hamilton and Joey Kramer at both tracks. Both of those guys are fast anywhere they go.

                      I'm glad to see the LITES are still on here. I'm not saying he's the greatest ever. Just simply saying he's no push over.

                        I guess going to Eldora the 2nd night out in the car and out running Jeep, Miller, Casebolt, James and other scrubs just not good enough for you guys. Hell we are tickled to death no more time then his been in the car to do what his done already. A 1st at Brownstown a 2nd at Eldora another 1st at Brownstown. Leading friday night at Moler and breaks a driveshaft then goes to Florence runs 3rd. I guess only time will tell if he will be successful in the late model but I wouldn't bet against it. And for you guys saying he hasn't out ran anyone in Illinois or Missouri ask your driver that you think he hasn't out ran and get back to me. Yes he has struggle sometimes in Illinois but that's like a lot of them coming around here and struggling. My 2 cents is you're not gonna win them all but we are not gonna give up on trying to win the next race.

                          Lol at you haters. The guy has what? 5 starts in this car? 2 wins, breaks while leading another, leads laps at Eldora, top 5 at Florence and people are doubting if he has talent? Hahaha! Listen, it's not easy at all to step into the DLM world and run up front. It's almost impossible to do it immediately, even if it is at "local" shows. Is he going to compete for the win at crown jewel races? Probably not, but he's also not with that caliber of a team, although they do have good equipment, and he doesn't have the seat time in a LM yet. There are plenty of drivers that have raced LM's for years that would love to be running like he has been the last few weeks. He's a good guy, he's got raw talent, why not just sit back and enjoy watching him develop his skills in a super? Id say it's gonna be fun to watch!

                            Call it what you want I call it facts. Theres a reason he drives 2 hours that way to race.

                              You guys want facts I guess it looks like. He's a multi time ump champ. If you think he comes to Kentucky and Ohio and beats easy competition....you're wrong. I watched him run 4th to the Dillon boys and Hoffman at volusia....i guess those guys arent fast since they arent from the midwest. I don't know anything about the guys in the Illinois or Missouri area. I also never knew you had to run there to be considered fast either. I'm not really a fan, but the guy is good.
