Thats to bad but it doesn't surprise me. It will be interesting to see who gets the ride. Seems like shane Stewart would be a great fit.

3 drivers in less then 2 years?? sounds like the problem isn't the driver, So they could honestly put any driver in the car and I don't think It would make a difference

RoushYates Ford? It tickles me how car owners have always changed drivers like underwear but its never ever ever ever the average or less than average engine.
Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3
Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?

Sounds like the mechanic is the problem. But the owner likes him so we should expect the carousel of drivers to continue. As a fan, though, I'm just glad we have the car to watch on the track!

The perfect fit for that team would be Sammy,it seems that team goes through drivers just as much as Sammy goes through crewchiefs lmao

The mechanic worked with Sammy, so automatically he's a genius. Couldn't be his fault.

I haven't seen this car in person, but Henderson was clearly fast in it last year but not brought back and the Wolfe fired this year and he's been decently competitive in a new ride. I agree with gohotfoot, looks like an owner/wrench problem instead of driver. Time to cue up the Shane Stewart to the newest open seat rumors.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the car, the crew, the owners, or the driver. The BWW #82 car has this year set the quick-time at several shows; they have finished in the top ten in over 25 times . . . not to mention having at least 10 top-five finishes. (All of this was accomplished while competing in ARCS/MOWA/Outlaw/IRA shows, as well as a few other non-sanctioned shows so far this 2013 season) While only attending a dozen or so shows over the past two years, I have witnessed the Owner's, Driver's, and Crew Chief & Crew of the #82 team perform nothing less than professional . . . affording time, attention and courtesy to fans; and when needed . . . offering a helping hand and equipment to other teams in need. This all appears simply be a case of this particular driver not being the "right fit" for this car at this time . . . no more, no less. Families like mine are grateful for all of the owners and sponsors like Todd & Susan LaHaise for their commitment to the sport; I would like to think that folks would be anxious to see the #82 (as well as all other teams) prosper, be safe, offer employment, all while continuing to provide entertainment for dirt racing enthusiasts all across the country.

If the idea is to run Knoxville and around the midwest, there are a ton of guys who are better suited than Wolfe. Not sure why they went to Wolfe instead of Henderson. Henderson ran better with that car than he did in any other one.

Shane is a good driver, but if there is a true problem and it does not get addressed shane would be in the same position as what lucas wolfe is today.

"We had great success early on in the season, especially in our qualifying efforts, but fell short of meeting both Lucas’s and our expectations in our final results."
Husets: May 12 - Finished 2nd (behind Dobmeier)
May 27 - Finished 4th (behind McCarl, Dobmeier, and McCarl)
June 2 - Finished 3rd (behind Dobmeier and McCarl)
Knoxville: May 11 - Finished 22nd (WoO event)
May 18 - Finished 9th (Heskin, Brown, Maeschen, Zomer, McCarl, Madsen, Johnson, Dobmeier)
June 1 - Finished 6th (Brown, Madsen, Dobmeier Maeschen, Selvage)
Top 4 at husets every night, behind Dobmeier and McCarls. Considering how well both of those two have husets figured out, I would say that is just fine. Knoxville was not as strong, but still not bad considering the competition for the WoO as well as weekly shows. They must have some really high expectations if they are parting ways this soon after not that bad of a start.

Someone needs to give Henderson more than a few weeks. He has paid his dues.

I can't say I am shocked as I expected to see multiple wins by Wolfe by this time and it just hasn't happend. Thought with his Woo experience he would be able to really get on a roll running against the midwest competition expecially with how well Henderson ran in the car. People can look at top 10's but at the end of the day everyone is in this for victory lanes and not press releases about have a great 10th place run. I am sure the BWW team will sit back and look the options and put a new driver behind the wheel.
I think I will head to BWW for lunch and think about it.....LOL
