Dobs looked like crack at the Nationals...for sure...

But, he's another one of the new guys that has shown an awful lot of promise... it'd be awesome for someone like him, or Wayne Johnson, or all the young guys in PA, and the guys out in California that I don't know... it'd be good to see them get a chance, as someone above noted "a big money" ride rather than another retread...

I wish Earl still did Eldora's track prep.  

I guess I don't remember that. My guy didn't get passed for the lead and I'm not the one that's bitter!! Even so, don't you think Donny would have passed Meyers on the second yellow. But then again, you'd be blaming a second person for that!! Donny has lost his fair share of races due to a yellow. His response is usually that it sucks, but that's the way it works. It's racin'. Anything is possible!! Let's not forget that Donny was starting his charge to the front anyway, would he have gotten by Meyers by the end without any yellows, who knows? But it's all irrelevent as the yellows are part of the race and that's what every single racer has to deal with. not just your guy!!!

whatever man...i am not going to argue with some who defends donny...waste of my time...and as for dobmeier lookin like a crack at nationals...i guess shane stewart looked like a crack this year and so did TK...and haud did lastyear also...so what is your point?

Hey buddy ( woo14 ) why don't you check the cabnet for your ridalin prescription.

What is wrong with giving Dobmeier some flack for his nationals performance this year...didn't people do this with TMAC when he was dominating the area? So what's the difference...what's your point Woo14.  I was just saying he looked terrible compaired to what he has looked like all year. It's just another example of a driver who can't quite hack it yet at the big level.

...

he cant quite hack it on the big level? he jumped into the number 2 volcano joes coffee car for one race at a track he has never been to with the outlaws and guess what....he won...so he can hack it...give him flack thats fine...

And about a month later he steps into the same car at Princeton and flips twice the same night. He's good, yes. But others have valid points also. Not just yourself!! BTW, I never criticized Dobby about his performance until now, and this was about a race last year. What about cheering for Donny? The same could be said about your cheering for Meyers!!

It was actually the Rush Racing #8. The track was Wilmot Speedway.

ha...thanks todd...my memory is bad sometimes...i was going to actually look it up before i typed it...

Dob was in a transfer in Princeton, yes, he wrecked earlier in the night thus running the B, I dont recall the events that led up to his first tumbel, but I do recall why he was troubled the second time! , a lapper got loose in four and used up all the frontstreach causeing one or two cars to check up, Dob going for the pass and running (clearly in a transfer position) got tangeled up in a inexperiance drivers mess ,im sure the team was pretty let down, and rightfully so, its just a bad night to hopefully forget about , Dob is good ,dam good! if you run enuff laps bad luck will catch up with you eventually, if you dont understand that than youve got my back against the wall..

24 410 wins is 24 wins, end of story.

To his credit, he's not the only that had trouble there. That was one of the most frustrating nights of racing I've seen. Gave a new meaning to yellow flag to me.

haha...ya that night lastyear was definately eventful...whether it was mccarl flipping violently in time trials or tires flyin into cemetaries or chad blonde hitting the wall and giving the lead schatz...definately alot of action...cant wait for it again this year!! hope the rain stays away!!

Princeton is awesome...similiar to River Cities...so Mark may have a shot!

Princeton was definely a action event last year , I wish Blonde could have hung onto it , any chances Princeton is in his radar this year? , Dobs luck just went south last year and it happens to the best, hopefully his luck is better this year, agreed, I hope the weather holds out, what should be expected of Brainered ? I spoke with the gal selling tickets to Brainered the other day, and I questioned her on (it) being the first time the outlaws have run there, She replied "we have had the oulaw latemodels here just recently", I said, " Its just not the same, did you have any trouble hailing one"?

I've watched blonde in Mi. many times. He isn't the biggest fan of shorter tracks. He was trying everything he could to hold on at Princeton last year. That included driving into the corners way to hard. I was surprised he made it as long as he did in that feature. He's alot better on 1/2's. But you gotta love that orange he uses!

reguardless, I just root for a upset, a car that runs strong with a field of cars that have been traveling all season together gets my attention, seeing new winners is the reason I attend races , thats all ,

As for hard corner entry, that little paperclip track looks as if 90% of the cars enter extreemly hard, keeping the car underneath you through the apex will defiently reward a solid exit, never the less , it was a exiciting race, hope the weather holds out again this year.

Just did a little research to see how many features in a row Dobmeier has won going into Cheater's Day tonight. He has won his last EIGHT A Features he has started! And that is actually 8 out of his last 9 events, but he did not start the A at the Richert Memorial in Wisconsin.

Now that is a pretty damn amazing stat, as many drivers can't even say they've won 8 races this year!

Thats a helluva run, good run from him

You can make it 9 out of 10 after tonights Cheaters race win @ Huset's.

yeah if you can really call that a win after his bone head move on the back stretch. Dobs can take out people and it is alright but when someone else does it, then lets raise hell.
