He wouldnt have won a UMP championship period had he of came away from brownstown and raced with the true UMP boyz!! But no he stayed at brownstown and ky where the car counts protected him and his ump points!! Also the promoter at brownstown protected him as well just sayin..... If my memory serves me correctly there was a bounty put out on Devin a few yrs ago and a guy beat him and they claimed that Devin Broke just so they wouldnt have to pay the bounty to the guy at Brownstown....If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

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.
Im not saying that the guy isnt good either Zyoung but i am saying that he wouldnt of been a multi time ump champ if he had of went out and raced more ump tracks than what he did!! He stayed close to home though because he knew when he couldnt handle the likes of Harrison,Leka and all of the ump elite...If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

I'm not saying for sure he might be the next big driver, I'm asking will he be. I'm looking for everyone's opinion.
In my opinion he is a very high caliber driver and if he sticks to the Late Models he will be one of the contenders in the area. If he gets the right equipment I could see him running up front in crown jewel events just like Pierce, Sheppard, Shirley and others. He isn't there yet but he is certainly capable of getting there.
Thanks,
Jeff.

Yeah the guy just stays around Indiana and races. Won is 6 different states at 16 different tracks. He don't have nothing to prove in the mod. His out ran all the people you guys are talking about and has been out ran by them too. You don't become a 3 time national champion staying in your backyard and not out running some good competition. Only time will tell in the LM but as right now what he has done so far isn't bad at all for just 5 races.Last edited by Half mile; 05-13-2015, 02:49 PM.

Ryan Thomas didn't break that night though did he? Nope he didn't..... He flat out beat Devin is what he done and when Devin couldn't catch him he pulled his famous I broke be lime he always does!! There's no doubt that the boy can drive a race car but when stuff doesn't go his way he either throws a fit or all of a sudden he breaks.... Sad but true...If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

Nope I was talking about the night that Ryan Thomas in the T9 beat him at brownstown for the bounty and y'all hosed him by saying Devin broke!! And you yourself know that the kid was well protected by the promoter at brownstown as well...If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

I wasn't there that night but heard all the crying about it. My thought is if the promoter protects him why didn't he give Devin a little extra each night that he won without getting beat. Why should someone that finally beat him get paid 1500 or whatever it is and Devin gets paid 600 for winning? Just my thought.

My thoughts are that if he is that good that when the bounty was put out on him he should of been a man about it and took the fact that he just plain got outrun by a shining diamond!! But no he took the cowards way out and pulled off claiming to have broke when in fact he didn't break at all.... True story!!!If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

He very well may become pretty good in the latemodel who knows... But I just hope he doesn't pull the same crap in the latemodel that he did in the modified....If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!
