Devin Gilpin

[Highside Hustler25]

I've watched gilpin quite a bit these past three years in Ohio, Indiana, and ky. He wins everywhere he goes. Most times there is zero competition for him. Like he's on a Sunday drive. I'd be willing to bet I've watched him between heat races and features in the mod win over 50 races..... Out of all those nights of racing I've seen him get passed a total of two times and one of them I call bullchit on. One was last week at Florence.... As usual he was half track ahead of everyone tooling around scratching his nuts and out of nowhere comes this black 51 car... Last name green. He passed gilpin like he was sitting still. Hell Im a gilpin fan and still stood up and clapped because I finally witnessed someone give it to him....... He never pulled off. Kept right on rolling. Second was supposedly when Ebert passed him at the checkers at Portsmouth. The videos are somewhere on 4m. I know that angles can play tricks on a persons eyes but that video showed me that gilpin won. He did get pissed that night, and he had every reason to be after watching the video. I was there t
That night and Ebert did do a hell of a job catching him. So out of 50? Or so races he's been passed twice that I've seen. Three time ump points champ three years straight. If you wanna see him run with the boys from Illinois TELL THEM TO COME HERE! Gilpin doesn't need to go there to prove $hit to anyone. How many folks do you all know that comes out in a brand new LM they have never been in and has a record like he's got this year. You guys just don't get it about molers. The locals there are FAST. Lil john, Stapleton, Chamberlain, and hell the burgess kid has been fast to.

With all this said, I agree time will tell. It there is o e thing you all have to realize. They aren't a huge sponsored team so they have to be smart when it comes to money. And that's exactly what him and his grandpa are... They go race, have fun, win, and keep money going to race a CRAZY schedule. I will end with this. I'm thinking last year he went to three (possibly 4) different tracks, in one week and swept every feature. Pretty sure it was Thurs somewhere, Moler Friday night, Portsmouth sat, and somewhere Sunday. I remember everyone talking about it. I wish him well. And yes his girl is smoking hot.

good post and well said. Seen Devin at Tere Haute a few years ago. Was leading feature, spun trying to get around a laper, went to rear and came back to win. Drove it like he stole it. Was a impressive run. The dude is a wheelman and eventually will become a household name in a late model. And yes. Smokin hot is also correct

In my opinion Devin needs to park the mod. If he would take full advantage of this opportunity to get the seat time he will go places. But I can't see Beeman putting up with anything less than his full attention to the lm. Park the mod and when there's no lm race drag it out for a little fun but concentrate on the lm and he will make it big.

lets see,,,,, I got a choice of losing my motor or pulling off the track and claiming I broke,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,??????

Or choice "C". Finishing the race in third place with no mechanical problems.

And Nasty, if you're still pi$$ed about a bounty at Brownstown, don't ya think it's time to let it go? If he did it to screw a guy outta the bounty, so be it. Brownstown coulda still been white about it and gave it to the guy, that's not on Devin, that's on Brownstown.

Yes it is on both of them for not allowing the bounty to be taken be anyone. Hopefully that will be the end of the bounties as it shows how it can be corrupted.

I never said he wasn't one of the top Mod drivers in the nation. BTW

Video from PRP is on YouTube somewhere. That was BS. Did Ebert do an awesome job catching him, yes. But it was a good 1/4 car length win for Devin. Either their transponders were in different spots, or they don't like Gilpin, or both.

Good post to man

I'd say its on both of them CNB but point made man I'm done and over it.. Ive never once thought that Devin wasn't a good little wheel man because he is! He has a boat load of talent there's no denying that at all.... But the point I was making has been made..its done and over with...
