First off, I don't have a dislike for the BWW team. As fans we don't always have to like driver change decisions or anything else that might occur within a team. And usually we fans don't have enough information to begin with. If what I was told had to do with sour grapes and not all the facts, then yes, I apologize to Aaron Ott and the BWW team. I'm not so small I can't stand critisizm or being made aware of the fact that there are always two sides to a story. I'm not unique in that when I'm told something from someone directly involved with a situation, that I trust it to be so. In this instance I should have let it go in one ear and out the other.

It's spelled criticism..... just sayin'....cause it looks like you can stand critisizm.

Thanks!  I realized that after you spelled it correctlty. I can't even blame it on a typo as the letters S and C aren't next to each other on the keyboard.

Your dislike of Tod Quiring is endless. The funny part is, I've never met the man and have personally never had any dealings with him or have claimed to. I couldn't pick him out of a crowd. But I do respect the efforts and the number of years he has devoted to support sprint car racing.
|
Endless dislike?? How so? Just cuz I pointed out how he acted at Husets a couple years ago?

The 91 car on the outside of Knoxville is gone. But the 82 car can't keep a driver. Sometimes you got to work together and learn each other.loose some races to win some? they seem to think because you have nice stuff you got to win all the races can't be us because we spend all the money. Maybe they need to settle down live with one driver and look at them self. I was shocked that dusty drove it that long. And I think dusty is a up coming star if he wants to be.

Better not bolt your seat to tight in that car zomer broke all records for time in seat in the 82 car the only heat in that car is getting fired.crocket won a outlaw race and got kicked,that team is got a ton of money but really need to pick a driver and work together win or loose for some time.and then the wins will start coming.got to learn to get beat together before you learn to win as a team.maybe they needed to keep zomer this year? Maybe he left? Don't know.

Per Kevin Thomas Jr.'s twitter he has " Been let go from the 82 lol. Anyone got a ride for the No Way Out 40?"
Really hoping this isn't true for the guy, he won a race and struggled in Outlaws. But frankly, if any owner expects a driver to drive a new type of car that he isn't used to and make the feature every night with the best drivers in the country immeadietly that's just absurd. Again, really hope he's just trolling people but judging from the past I'm betting he's not...

So odd. Sure they weren't setting the world on fire, but it's been 6 races. Not sure what they were expecting given the learning curve has to be steep.

6 Races!?! Wow. KTJ is a heckuva a nonwing driver who someday could be a good winged shoe. Not sure what they expected outside of a pretty steep learning curve. Heck it took BC a little bit to get a hang of a winged car. Anyway, wonder if the Dollansky article had anything to do with it

It's their car so they can do whatever the hell they want but you can't help but laugh at this team. They've been through how many great drivers now? I understand that sometimes things just don't work but to go through as many good drivers as they have just doesn't make sense other than the fact that the driver's weren't the issue.

I would bet that Dollansky will at least get a call from them, whether he takes it is another question.

You're right, their team. I for one question their integrity and loyalty, and it's apparent they don't have a clue on how to build a winning team, establish a winning team and then maintain a winning team. Each step is required in order to reach the next step.

I am hoping to buy a KTJ hat that doesn't have BWW on it...judging from the history lesson I might not have to wait too long...

Close. I bet most of them are closer to 0 in 6.

I only saw KT in the BWW car this year at Kilgore last month. I can say that the motor sounded sour from quals all the way through to the B. In the B, the car was strong and he qualified for the feature.. . . . .
