I've been watching him since he got into a full size sprints after running micros, and to me it doesn't matter what the size of the track is he's been pretty consistent on any type of track. I don't know how many years he was in a micro but they ran everywhere and they are all 1/4 mile or smaller.

Thanks for the info. In that case, I stand with my earlier opinion that he could finish top-2 or 3 in HL and top-4 in WoO if he ran entire seasons. (Assuming of course the funding was there for an entire season of travel.) I've seen him win on the "big" and fast tracks, and if he's capable of consistent results on the bullrings, I so no reason he couldn't point his way to a top finishing spot. I think the car is capable and he's got the talent.

I'm sure that earning your endorsement means a lot to Anthony..lol.. Personally I enjoy watching the 39 team run a True Outlaw schedule, with all the money to win why burn yourself out with a points chasing deal. Remember the year Brent Marks did the same thing and made a ton of money? I will admit that when Anthony left the family team I made some negative comments about him but I figured he'd come back home and he did and he has improved tremendously since then. I guess he just needed a bit more maturity like all young men do. I can't help but like the dude anymore he really represents himself well these days, reminds me some of Greg Hodnett, one of his heros. And damn, that kid is fearless.

I can't agree with you more. I was equally as critical of him during his split with the family team. But, as you say, how can you not like the kid now? He conducts himself professionally each time someone throws the mic in his face. He doesn't do stupid crap on the track. And hes a badass behind the wheel. And I'm not a Posse guy at all---just saying it like I see it!
I also enjoy seeing guys running true outlaw schedules, and being competitive when they show up. If that what makes the pocket book happy, by all means, do it! The WoO Platinum deal and HL Charter deals are there for guys that either want to chase the title and the big bucks, or guys that need that extra support and point $$ to run across the country. If guys can make it work without, and have the backing, more power to em! It appears they've got what they need!

I started taking notice when he started winning 410 races in Pa. I may have seen him run micros, but didn't know who he was.
First few interviews after his wins, he seemed like a kinda nervous, geeky HS kid. By the time of his feud with Dietrich, he was sounding like a pretty confident & "dish it out as well as take it" guy

I agree too.. True Outlaw
I always liked him, never took sides in the family feud (cause I didn't know shit) but was thrilled when the family team got back together (& took up where they left off, winning) I certainly had some battles with my late father which fortunately healed over time, so I get it
I can only imagine some of the arguments they had....
