The BMR team will be locked & loaded for Eldora. I've got him down for a clean 4 night sweep with Double D finishing in the bridesmaid position all 4 nights as well. Everyone else is racing for third.

This was a real nice post right here.

I think he will be very familiar with the #57's tail tank!

The month of money could very well be the month of Brent Marks. Great job, keep it rolling.

Amazing... took off the morning race, another wise move...
So is Marks the Knoxville favorite now????
|
I was surprised to see that they even made up that race in the morning. I know you want to give the fans their moneys worth and 10G is still a good payday, but it seems pretty meaningless when you have a 175G to win race coming up later in the day.

I wonder where all those Pa Posse fans are that were forever ragging on him, calling him Bent Parts, etc. I wonder if they're singing a different song now after eating crow for a couple years.
Most people have forgotten that he took 2nd to Larson at least 9 times when Kyle was in the zone.
Brent is, and has been in the zone for a couple years now. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

It's more about the huge profit the track can make with more than 10k seats sold and only having to pay for a normal Outlaw purse. This is not criticism, Eldora pays great purses, but to cancel and refund all those fans would be giving up a few hundred k in profit if I had to guess.

It is like Knoxville. All races will be run for the week. Last year they ran a 10,000.00 to win show on Sunday afternoon.
Let's go Sprint Car Racing!
Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

Why wouldn't they run the race? 10,000 or so people took off work to travel and see the races. Why let them down?

Grabbed another gear and ran away from Schatz on the wall at end. Balls of steel.
Crowd chanting Posse afterward was particularly touching.
Larson who? Marks has a better batting avg than 2020 Kyle.
They don't even know how to spell sprint car
much less chromoly...http://www.ycmco.com

Is the Silva 57 dynasty starting to mirror the Weikert 29?
Silva 57 team in 2020 matched or eclipsed the Weilkert 29 1985 season greatness in big wins.
Is the Silva 57 team in 2022 turning into the 1987 Weikert team or do they turn it around?

Kicked around on the Outlaw tour??? He passed more cars than anybody on tour for two years. He just has his qualifying program right for the first time in about 5 years.
|
I meant no disrespect, just referring to his points finishes back in 2018/2019. I'm a fan and saw the improvement after being on the road for 2 years so I'm not surprised he is one of the best in the country right now.

Interesting comparison. Time will tell. I wouldn't count them out at Knoxville though.

Somebody delete this entire thread please. Dont need Napcar sniffing around and any rumors flying about Marks to that god awful racing.
I cant stop thinking about how it would've looked had Marks came to Huset's for the HBN in June. Next year we'll see him I bet.

After last night at Port......I think you might have jumped the gun a little. Time will tell. Can't wait to seen the 57 in person again Saturday at the Grove!

I think the only similarity between the the two is that eventually other teams catch up. Larson is still winning just as the Weikert car did after their run but a few teams have stepped up their game since Larson's 2020 dominance. He is still going to win but he just went o fer in Speedweek and Edora that would not have happened in 2020.

He will be ok. He already has 3 more wins than Sweet and Schatz and he has only raced a little over a 1/3 of the races.
He didn't win the big money but, he is a force to be reckoned with. This could really motivate him for Knoxville. Time will tell.
He is also tied with the 4th most wins (4) on the WOO.

Seems like picking the races you really WANT to run is working out great for Marks, just like it did for Dewease....
Quality over quantity... TRUE outlaws!

They're all getting older, but the idea of picking & choosing worked great for them
You don't like Dewease, do you?
