Just kidding, nice to see him win one. I hope it wasn't too late for him to get another full year, but only Kasey knows what he is going to do. Quite a bit of torn up metal, but, out of the few teams that can support a learning curve, KKR is one of them.

I don't have anything against Darrah, but the stats don't lie, despite his winning this past weekend.

Seems to be somewhat of a double standard, however. The normal drumbeat on this board is that a driver coming to the Grove 50 times or 75 times still does not have enough experience to beat the locals. But now a guy running with the Outlaws for the first time should be able to beat drivers that have been running with the Outlaws for 10 years or 15 years or 34 years.

Interesting point singlefile. I think this young man has a good deal of talent. I'm thinking that he has seen many of these tracks for just the first time this year? Is he working with different chassis than he did before? Different crew chief? Seems to me like it would be difficult to go out on tour the first time under circumstances like this and expect to win a bunch of races against Kinser, Swindell, Myers, Saldana, Schatz, etc.

Different cars, different set ups, crew chiefs have changed a couple times, with a kid 21 years of age. But to make a real racer he needs to be able to adapt, fact he is. he will be alright believe me he has plenty of support around him and Im not talking about money. Kasey has a budget and is strict on how that is applied. Any one close to a team would be surprised to what budgets are run on each team on the tour.

My Crew Chief figured out a top notch WoO team (like kkr) spends about 50,000$$ per team on tires in 1 season

Reply to:
Lucas Wolfe has 9 top 10s in a row, 6 of which were top5s since you wrote that he wasn't fit to race against 360s on this very board from your experience in Canada. Review Jason Meyers stats with the WoO when he was the age of Wolfe and Darrah, since your the god of knowing everything, you might be surprised. He's a WoO champion these days if you haven't heard.
Or please, better yet, tell me how you were able to motivate your 911 to 130mph on the road all by yourself, cause that takes some sorta skill? Your nothing more than a fan that's seen a lot of racing, stop acting like your more. Christ, I had an ex-g/f do 145 in her Cayenne Turbo, eat you alive if that's what you use to judge skill.

All the Darrah "haters" are probably out trying to figure out what other team they can try to "talk" out of a seat, to get "their" driver a shot.......keep workin folks.....I think the 91 is going to be Darrah's ride for a while...
