Ian Madsen and Jac Haudenschild will also be full time in 2015. Mark Dobmeier and Brian Brown should be soon.

haud will be out of that ride shortly if he doesnt start doing something

I think the Triple X junk chassis' are the problem. Jac never struggles at Eldora, and the car looked like a handful last weekend. I say try out a GF1 and then make judgements.

Hasn't Jac been running XXX chassis for a few years now?  Me thinks the 9 car problems are more likely related to a crew chief / driver combo that is not working.  Haud has looked damn good at Eldora the last couple years, best he's looked there since his Elden days, IMO.  That car last weekend looked worse than a drunk squirrel most of the time.

Almost positive that the 59 team runs maxims and Bonzai knew how to set the car up for Jac. Like you said the car was a handful both nights. As much money as that operation is spending, I would jump to a GF1, Maxim, or J&J. Anything but a Triple X. I understand maybe running that chassis as a low budget local guy, but i am pretty sure at that level they are the only team running that chassis. Speaks for itself.

Jac ran a XXX his last year in the R19

I highly doubt you'll ever see Dobmeier "full-time" on the Outlaws.  He owns and OPERATES his own business M-F.  Hard to do when traveling up and down the road.  Plus I highly doubt his crew has any aspirations of doing so either (including Guy Forbrook).

Ian Madsen?  Maybe, but if so I look for the Nehring Constuction team to only last a couple years (like a bunch of other teams that went out on the road in years past, it runs you out of $$$$ fast (you can race regionally for 15 years or nationally for 3 or 4) and the team is no longer and the driver is out of a ride).

Brian Brown?  If he was gonna be out there, I'd say he already would be (it doesn't make sense for his current Sponsor/Partners like STC (providing motors), Casey's (once you leave the mid-west, they don't have a presence), and a host of other sponsors he has.  My guess is he can make more $$$ running the schedule he has and just hitting the big $$ races (King's Royal, National Open).

Haud?  Highly doubt he'll ever be back out with the Outlaws, what is he now, 55 or so?  His career is nearly over IMO, doubt an owner with deep pockets will hitch their wagon to someone in their 50's.  Can Jac still race competitively?  yes, but full-time Outlaw tour?  No, not IMO.

yeah he hasnt looked any better at all with the gf1 he has been running the last few weeks

Whoa, hold on.  The 2014 season has barely gotten underway and you're already wishing it was next year.  At my age that's the last thing I'm going to do is wish that time would roll by faster.

He was running a GF1? Guess my comments get thrown out the window. My bad

I didn't realize that either.  Wonder if its a trial run or a permanent change?  

Not sure if anyone else caught it but they were showing a close up shot on the jumbotron of Jac and the 9 car crew guy (I assume it was Benic although I dont know for sure what he looks like) in the pit area talking after hot laps on Saturday. Judging by the expressions Jac was making, he was definitely not pleased.  In fact it was one of the rare times I've actually seen Jac look pissed off.  

I don't think I'm wrong by saying that Jac is not the problem, and clyde's comment that Jac looked pissed off supports that suspicion. Jac has brain farts behind the wheel from time to time, but not throughout entire races and throughout the entire first third of the season. That Destiny car has not been up to par this year, and that's a fact. The likely issue seems to be the crew chief.

I know Jac has been struggling, but i have never seen him struggle in any car like he did last week at Eldora. I still beleive he can have some success with the All Stars this year, but time will tell.

What ... no comment like ... "now that I have been corrected, I think he should switch from the GF1-big-POS to a Maxim"?

Or are you just staying silent now that you have been shown to be completely uninformed?

What a jerk-off... I would say the whole point of 72's post was to admit he didn't know...

Why don't you take a flying leap tough guy!

I was admitting i was wrong. I just want to see Jac run well. Think he is a good guy, and i bought a t-shirt to support him last week at Eldora. His wife was very nice as well and my buddy and i talked to her for about 10 minutes.

I am young, and only been going to Eldora for about 4 years. I have seen Jac struggle at other tracks, but never Eldora unless he wrecks. When i saw him struggle last week, I started thinking it can't just be him.
