    one reason for Childress to field a couple dirt cars his RCR ENGINES build engines designed for ump mod,latemodel and lower level pavement cars. Having spent all that money to have his two grandsons trained to race on dirt he might fill they owe him a few wins n dirt now that the wins on pavement are going to be few and fare between.

      I don’t see the big deal at all I think it’s really cool they choose mods over late models and sprint cars. And what guy would not want to race against nascar talent, not many chances to do that. I bet my savings account that there will be a car there that more money has been spent on then there’s.

        Money does not win races. People win races. Sure having a large budget available to dip from can be viewed as an advantage, but when it all boils down, it is people that make it all happen. For example, if I have $30,000 for a budget, and another guy has $60000 available for his budget, more often than not my $30,000 will out run the $60000 dollar budget due to having a better understanding of race car vehicle dynamics. The race team that works the hardest at the shop to be the best usually is one of the best. The importance of winning and the path to success is all a result of hard work because you wanted to win more than the other guy. You cannot buy that with money. I highly recommend implementing an education plan into your racing program if you have not already.

            Some here would give the impression that if the Dillon boys show up, regular mod drivers might as well go home.
            I DON'T THINK SO!

                  Can Boggs fit through the window of a mod? I believe Hoffman was who finished second to Dillon.

                          Well UMP got what they wanted. Dillon's won it all in Florida. They kept the track heavy so they could hook up those 900HP Nascar motors. Wallace admits to 830HP in that TRD motor and it couldnt keep up. It was great to watch those boys shoot to the lead in a couple laps when everyone else couldnt pass. So they got all the money and the big Gators!

                            QQQQ I bet that is exactly the case and it had nothing to do with talent at all. I am sure all the other guys that made the trip to Florida in their big toter homes were running engines from salvage yards. They also were screwed because they had to work at Walmart as greeters during the day while in Florida just to be able to afford a pit pass and spam sammiches and didnt have any time to work on their cars.

                              Just need more power. That's always the answer is more power. Hell give Wallace 5000 HP he still wouldn't beat Dillon at Volusia.
                              Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.
