I've wondered this same thing for a while. Seems like he knocks on the door but just can't kick it in. Wish he would he's a super nice guy with a lot of talent and would like to see him in the winners circle a lot more.

It looks like a typical plain blackbeard design to me, which is why it sucks

I like it!

Its a new team with kinks to work out. They will be fine.
as far as the wrap goes, it's horrendous... I was shocked when I was told Blackbeard did it.

I like Joeys car. It's not bad. Joeys stuff always looks hot and on point...
The car that looks herendous this year, and please I like the guy nothing against him is Paul McMahon's looks like a local fill in show kind of car..
in my opionion this past winter all the car designers had a Serious Case of BLUE B@lls. How many Outlaws came out with the color blue, Schuhart, Saldana, Sides,McMahan, Allen,Haud, Knipp,Sweet

Logan Schuhart and Jacob Allen have used blue ever since they started touring... Haud is plain black and white (no color at all), Knipp is pretty much all black with a tiny blue stripe and Sweet got Napa sponser so it's gotta be blue. I do know what you mean though, Joey Sides and Destiny Motorsports/McMahan all went to a blue scheme this year. I liked the Destiny car a lot better last year but I'm okay with cars that are just a little bit different even if they aren't my favorite.

I think alot of times the plainer looking the paint scheme on a sprint car, the better it looks. Some cars are just too cluttered. I personally like the look of his car and I don't have any problems with Paul's blue car either. Better than all of the cars being black or raw carbon fiber which is starting to get a bit ridiculous. Granted I think it looks sweet up close, but from the stands it just looks like a bunch of black cars with different accent colors. Just my .2

The problem with the appearance of most of the cars is steeling wheels and accessories from the local river brethren, mennonite and dunkard preachers. Im sure those obsessed with moderation love all the restrictions in big time sprint car racing in recent years but the total emulation is a bit rediculous.

in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint

Hard to say guys like Fisher, Stenhouse, Roth and Wood make up a lousy team. I like Joey but certainly not a bunch of goof balls. The Brownburg Bullet needs a cushion and thats getting to be a very rare thing anymore. Just because Johnny is talking about one, doesn't mean there is actually one present I still think Joey is just waiting for the ghost of the factory Ford effort for a fresh start.

I have a feeling this thread (or someone will start a new "Saldana" one) will be popular in the next few weeks...

Joey needs a reboot with someone who will build his confidence back up a la what happened with Stevie with Rahmer or Lance with the 69k. He's still a really good driver, just needs some change of scenery in my opinion.

You could put Kyle in any one of those woo rides and he'd challenge for the win almost every night.

Larson was put in a second ride last night on purpose (not "just because" he wanted to race)...but as I said even before Kyle "officially" announced he'd be in the ride for the night, I have a feeling Saldana related threads are going to possibly (not saying definitively) be popular the next week or few weeks...

Man I wish Larson would run the WoO full time. It'd be such a treat. He's one of the best drivers not just in sprints but in any car you throw him in. Got the pleasure of seeing him win at Attica during speedweek last year, absolutely fantastic driver. Car apparently runs fine, I'm sure he was running the backup car too... Saldana needs to hurry up and get that 100th win.

Joey is a great driver but his setups have been crap. As soon as the track blows off he goes backwards. His car has no sidebite or forward bite on dry tracks. I'm not sure if it's Joey's input into the setups or the crew chief needs to find another line of work.
