Cody buys more Fix O Dent at Ollie's than Brad. Sweet uses more needles from SurePoint than Cody. Just a guess?

You would think that with as much stuff as Darrah has torn up a medical supply sponsor would would have been a good fit.
Maybe not.

I wonder if some of it has to do with Ollie's being based out of Harrisburg, PA that is why they are on Cody's car. Since he is from York, only 20 minutes away.

It is always good to wake up next to a good looking woman.
It is the putting up with them after THEY are awake that can have its drawbacks!

Isn't it great that Kasey Kahne is fielding 3 World of Outlaw Sprint Car Teams. As a fan I'm just thankful there's corporate sponsors out their that support sprint car racing.

Pretty sure it has more to do with on track performance than anything else. These big corparate guys want results.

I like watching Darrah but it's not a good sign when he started with KKR Great Clips was his sponsor and switched over to Pittman for better results.. He had Surepoint but because he doesn't have the results Surepoint moves to Sweet who has had some success in a short period of time and runs up front. You have to keep the companies happy that pay the bills. Its a make or break year for Darrah. He has had plenty of time to prove he can run up front consistently and unfortunately he hasn't gotten the job done.

I agree that this is a "get it done or get out" year for Darrah. Even though I think he deserves the hard luck award for the past 3 seasons, the overall results just don't show. The dude can drive the wheels off of a sprint car at times, just not consistently. Kasey and Cody have been friends for a while, but at the end of the day it's a business and all about $$$. Time to make some noise in 2014 for Darrah or James McFadden will have a new seat at KKR in 2015.

Bad luck for a 3 year stretch isn't bad luck it's just bad.

The Great Clips moved to Saldana because the Budweiser sponsorship was gone. And this team needed the funding that Great Clips provided. Darrah ran without sponsorship until the Sure Point was brought on board and again Brad Sweet not having any ride in the Nationwide was in need of money to run the entire Outlaw shows hence the Surepoint deal. Also any hired ride needs to worry about performance and I truly believe that Darrah has that in his mind at all times. This year should be a good one after talking with him he sounds more excited this year as he did the first year. he has tore less up then all state.
