    It's the same car he won the topless with last year.
    Funny stuff.....
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

      Yes they were. With Moyer and Babb and Erb behind the wheel, Rayburns surely have won more Hell Tour races than any other chassis by a long shot.

        Yeah just watched it over. "Darrell put his components on, not my choice or what I would run"

              Does Shannon own his own equipment, or is it owned by someone else? You wonder if he will be like Brady Smith and Brian Birkhofer, and walk away from racing. I hope not, enjoy watching Shannon race.

                I could be wrong,but I think Ed petroff helps with the chassis and hauler and someone else helps with the engine costs

                  You are correct. On numerous occasions I've heard Shannon say Ed bought this or that. I think Ed helps Shannon out a whole lot.

                    Sbr

                    Bumpandrun -- Don't think he's headed the way of Birkhofer and Smith. But, you never know. And yes, it's Shannon's team.

                    But as Highside said, Petroff is his major sponsor. That all started when Moyer, Babb and O'neal were The Petroff Posse. When Shannon left Moyer's team, after a year with Clint Bowyer, Petroff stepped back in when he formed his own operation. Donley does some significant things for the team as well, as do several others. It's what you gotta have these days.

                    Hope the luck turns around soon for SBR.

                    Go 18!!

                      I feel the exact same way. Schleiper had the same issue Post-Rayburn. It's just the truth.

                      Ditto and Erb as well.

                        whatever the case ( and I've seen them race a lot ), that sh!t from fergy at Dublin was absolutely ridiculous from where I was standing......dude was doing some driving.
                        Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                          Ya I'd love to see Babb back to his ways but I've never liked him in rockets at all after Rayburn his next best was victory circle by Moyer but he has it up for sale. Also his best days is when jay hunt was turning the wrenches an not sure whatever happened with him. I been a long time fan started back in his modified days when he first started.

                            I think some of is he's just not racing as much as he used to and he has switch to many chassis to find one he likes that fits his driving style. Plus he has had some bad luck so far this year.

                              You can mark the change from when he moved to CBR and drove those rockets, hasn't been the same since. He did win the SN title in 2014, but not through wins like before. To me the best Rayburns were 02'-04', but that's my opinion and I've never seen anything dig off the corner like a Rayburn Swingarm, nothing.
