I believe the 57 is an Eagle Chassis.  Rico uses the same chassis and also works with Paul Silva. 

I think the Demyan-Rudzik 49 used to be a Gressman powerplant, but I saw someone mention they're using Rider now.  Don't quote me on that, haven't seen the 49 in person the last few weeks, but I believe they're using Rider now. I believe the 49 is a XXX chassis. 

I know the 57 used to run Rider engines as well, not sure if Silva still is.

It's not the Engine or Chassis that is winning.   It's Kyle.

Bothe he engine and chassis are capable.   But to say oh, this guy's winning because he uses such and such.  ANd then the rush to buy such and such often doesn't meet with the same results.

There are exceptions now and then,  But unless your running junk.  It's setup and ability.

Oh you're absolutely right, I was just answering the question.  I think the OP keeps some sort of list of drivers and wins, etc. and likes to list chassis and engine if it's available. 

Kyle himself said he does not have a preferred chassis and he could care less what chassis it is, it's the stuff bolted on that he cares about.  And again him behind the wheel it doesn't matter what chassis or engine.  I've used this joke probably too much on here the last week, but he could run a wooden framed car and still win.

With Kyle its not really even about setup. There's no way you can tell me he and whoever is wrenching that night knows exactly what the car needs. They just put a basic setup in it, give it tweak or two and he does the rest. He puts the theory that you need a certain chassis or certain motor or certain shocks, etc to bed. He's one of those guys wo can beat you with what he has then trade cars and beat you with your's. Keith Kunz said it best. "Crewchiefs, there's nothing wrong with your car. You just don't have Kyle Larson driving it".

I can confirm via a post by Tim Shaffer that they are indeed running a Rider engine in the Demyan-Rudzik 49x.

Thats brutal. I've had guys do that to me at chess.... you think you're screwed, resign, then the MF turns the board around & wins

How humiliating....

The 57 car runs Rider engines, and I think Paul has a good relationship with Finley Farms using their engines.
