Always been a fan of Tanner Holmes, as are many who follow winged 410 racing. It is painful to see him on the struggle bus so far this year. Seems like he has the worst luck and just can't dig his way of the early hole he gets in each night.
He seems like a great kid, and is great with the fans young and old. I hope he keeps his head up and is able to turn things around soon.

One of the nicest young men you'll ever meet. His family is very nice as well. I talked with him and his mom for about an hour outside the backstretch at Knoxville at their hauler. I don't like to bother drivers at all, but he just walked up and started a conversation and he wouldn't stop talking. I've been really pulling for him because of that interaction, and he has just not been up to speed. Hoping things turn around soon for him!!

He was winning winged kart races right up until the first Sprint Car race. I think it's a matter of taking the family team up a notch and being on the road more. That happens to everyone at some point and is part of the move up. They'll figure it out and get up to speed.

He could always be a encyclopedia salesman instead

Seems like a nice kid. Being from the NW I root for him. 2 things that may be affecting him/the team. They switched from KPC to XXX chassis( I know he ran them with Shark last year just saying) and they dont really have a crew chief. When they had Roger Henderson, Bobby Allen, Agan(at Knoxville) and Brian Crockett he always seemed to do better.

Even the best of equiptment and driver can benefit from an experienced crew cheif and crew. There are few that compare to Karl ,Ricky,Paul,Guy,Lenard almost as well known as the driver. There are many different venues of racing but in some cases crew cheif makes as much as driver

It seems like many teams benefit from having the right crew chief. I imagine it gets expensive but it can bring improved performance which drivers, sponsors and fans love. Double bladed sword. Plus the more eyes and years of experience the better with most things.
