What's up with Owens

[Crossbones]

Jimmy has been his own nightmare since he left Blomquist chassis... He needs to go back to what worked for him if he wants to have SWEET dreams again...

It seems those Bloomquist cars really work well with Owens (better than anyone else). Since leaving Bloomquist chassis it looks like he has gone back to where he was before 2007, top 5 car but not dominating.

Has Jimmy ever done very well at east bay? I remember him winning down there a couple times, the last win there was '13, I wouldn't call east bay Jimmys strong suit. We get out of there and get to other tracks we will see what he's got.

First three laps of feature and passed 8 cars on sh^tty track.
5 cautions in 23 laps, 8 cars out. When 1/3 of the field is out before halfway....it needs to be considered how track conditions and other situations also cause problems. It's never just one thing.....

don't a lot of drivers do a lot of testing and experimenting with set ups and such things down there in Florida? have heard that a time or two people like doing a lot of testing with this and that down there!

according to a very reliable source, that's exactly what there doing , this new chassis is not a standard BW , I think the reason jimmy is not building his own is he don't have the time to build them and test them on his own , im not that crazy about barry, but you do what you have to do.........

Hes had 4 days to 'test' he should have something...its quailifing that needs the work. Yea he looked good last nite but if he had quailified better maybe hed been in the top 3

[fastford]

I don't understand it either, hitting the wall in qualifying is not the norm , but like someone else said hes never done that well in Florida, even the years he won the championships.....

[stroker#21]

He will be in a Longhorn be fore the year is up lol

I think some of you are being a lil impatient an understandable, but he's dealt with alot early on never has really shined in Florida an has been moving forward majority of the times he's found himself in a hole early in the night . Just give it some time thats mainly what I'm getting at.....

[george w]

Got barried early an started 21st ..... finished 6th. Last night is a perfect example of on the kinda nights he's been having did anyone else pass more cars lastnight? I'd have to look myself? O'Neal McCreadie pearson pierce Sheppard weaver francis landers carrier an Davenport are all people he finished in front of after starting 21st with a newly formed team.

I agree that florida isnt his strong suit and eb is a rough track but not all tracks in any other state will be 'perfect' either. What will happen then???

[NormP]

I guess we're about to find out.

(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Equipement, lucky to finish 5th

Was running 6th tonight, and had a flat. I wouldn't call that sh!tty equipment, I'd call that bad luck.
