    I have seen Devin race quite a bit, and I think the talent is there. How far he gets depends on equipment and backing as it always does. Bobby Pierce will probably leave dirt track racing at some point. Nascar will be calling. He has star written all over him. I do realize, as all drivers he has fans and detractors, i am just looking at without bias one way or the other.

      The kid is a top notch talent. He has as much raw ability as the others mentioned. Was he not somewhere around the 6-7th place mark in the Lucas standings when he bailed out due to lack of funds last year?

        I'm a fan of Devin... mostly because he's young and that's what we will need to keep this sport going so I hope he does well..

        hate to hear that funds are keeping him back from getting out there a lot more so if he needs to stay close to home for a few years then so be it

          In my opinion, he is a lot cleaner a driver than Donnie was.

            We watched him run three straight nights against the best of the best at the GIS Lucas races back in February. He ran around the top ten all three races. He can wheel it against anybody.

              Donnie was as clean a driver as anyone who ever raced. That's why you never hear a negative word about him.

                Whenever those threads are started " if you were to start a team who would be your driver/s" I always listed Devin. Its a shame he's not in a TOP OF THE LINE ride. Like others have stated , you can tell by his driving style he has to take care of his equipment, unlike other young drivers that smash into everyone and everything. There were some nasty rumors on 4m years ago about Donnie Moran's financial situation, basically stating " after winning the million he got a little full of himself and p1ssed away all his money." This is 4m so who knows if its true , but if so, that's too bad. But anyway, what about the other brother, why doesn't he drive? My only guess is right now the family can only afford one the boys racing.

                  I think he's clearly talented, but still learning and maybe not as far along the curve as BShepp and Pierce. Didn't he try to run WoO tour 2-3 years ago and seemed to be in over his head and dropped off the tour after a few races? Could have been sponsor/financial related, but I don't think he was setting the world on fire with results.

                  IMO, it's still pretty easy to see the talent is there but may be a year or two away.

                      Devin no doubt has the talent now if he ever gets the backing he will prove it to the non believers

                            Another post from negative Nancy, against one of the guns in the sport.....never seen this coming.

                              Good one old dude. I think I'll do that. Never thought of it. You have his number so I can call him?
