    He probably just figured out the Pierce wasn't a good fit for his driving style. It's not like a team changing chassis, then changing back because the other car didn't work out so well is a rare occurrence.

        Pierce car is Built to fit the way Bobby drives .. If you drive like bobby you should do good in car, You dont you wont.....I think there cars are More a fit Car then a lot of the others....Some drivers can make all cars work ... Some need a tipe of car that fits them......Bob dont have as much time too work with people that buy there cars and i think it has hurt there sales.....Its like all places that the CEO is not at home the place dont do as good...Bob Working on his Kids car has hurt all there cars.....

          Weaver does pretty good in his Pierce cars, and doesn't drive like Bobby. That being said, I imagine more info goes to Pierce from Kevin, than Kevin asks from them.

              Kevin likes the bottom a lot more than Bobby.

                It wasn't but a year or 2 ago Bobby was called a bottom feeder by some on here.

                  More like 3 or 4 years ago, Bobby was a bottom feeder. Won a lot of races doing it. He's far from a bottom feeder now.

                    I was thinking it was 2 years ago that there was the big blowup about the tires in Fairbury...... guess it coulda been longer. That's when I remember people calling him a bottom feeder. If the racetrack is around the bottom, you can bet he will be down there, if the car is capable.

                        Fairbury is one of them tracks ,If the bottom and top is good (Most of the time they are) He will be on the Bottom.. Erb likes it down there too at Fairbury.........Just like there is a Good change Jason will be on the Top......Then Weaver is in between them all... Means we get to see a He!! of a Race.....

                            They all tell you that they are going to show up at the track and help, chassis builders and engine builders, but most don't, I know audie will show up to help but hes close, pierce is not, Lanigan offers lots of support for the disco club cars.........

                              If Dustin was a regional driver in Illinois then I'm sure he would probably be giving the Pierce more time, but he has no one to bounce ideas off of in the Ohio Valley area and everyone is either in a Rocket, Club29 or Swartz.

                              Dustin has beat a lot of guys in much more expensive equipment many times in the Swartz. He's a proven winner, so I don't see why he needs to change. I know he's had a bad year, but it only takes one good night to turn it around.

                                I just saw where Dustin picked up a really good sponsor in Tim Short Auto Group. Hopefully this will help turn his luck around. He's one hell of a wheel man no doubt about it.
