In the WoO press release for Fridays race it listed him in a JEI. Has the team switched from Eagle to JEI? or are they just trying one out, or a misprint by the WoO?

Dude first switched to a JEI for the Eagle Raceway weekend and has used it ever since then. No misprint. Just trying some new things to find some speed.

Is speed the real issue? Check his qualifying times and start/finish positions all year. Maybe for the first time in sprint car history, a manufacturer pulled the plug on a top three team. Same for a couple of Eagle dealers. Why should we continue to support a team or dealer that does not support us? Do not wave the American Flag then sell over-seas parts. If a manufacturer is going to talk the talk they should walk the walk. Eagle took the first step. Are there other manufactures out there willing to step up?

Good on you Eagle .... if what you say is correct good on you .... No matter how big they think they are .... screw them I say .... there isn't much loyalty in life anymore let alone our sport .... I can imagine exactly how you feel when a certain supplier (you couldn't call them a manufacturer) would make a press release to create exposure for their brand as a result of a win in your chassis, using a few of their components, none of which made any significant contribution to the race result.
If I were in your position I would do exactly the same thing, no one is too big.

So, by raeccrash778 logic, no other suppliers of parts on a race car can celebrate the win but the chassis manufactuer? Not the companies that make the tires, wings, fuel cells, rod ends, shocks, rear ends, seats, torsion bars, engine, radiator, exhaust, magneto, suspension components, safety equipment, steering boxes, wheels, etc, etc? If so, I think raeccrash778 has a lot of companies to single out (as well as XXX Race Co) ... because there are countless press releases from those companies as well.
Also, should raeccrash778 like to do a little research ... he'd find out that we (XXX Race Co) do manufactuer most of our own product (anything branded XXX is manufactuered by us). Also, if he looked into most all other companies in this industry, he'd find out that they too source product from vendors. Many rebrand (which we do not).

Since you like to answer other people's questions...how about this "Why would he be running a JEI and not a XXX chassis"?

It is not a crime to trying new things. Maybe he see something in the jei that he did not see in the xxx chassis. Who knows he could be in a maxim come the knoxville national.

I guess to make my point clearer:
If Eagle or anyone has supported a particular team or driver to the extent that Eagle has in this case(I bet Eagle could think of 100 different times he's busted his arse for this driver) then Eagle should be able to expect that if they manufacture a component, for example a wing stand or front axle beam, or whatever that driver / team uses their product in conjunction with the supplied chassis, showing brand loyalty and not the one that comes free from a rival manufacturer / supplier. The clincher that probably pisses Eagle off comes when the driver / team wins and then somehow the rival supplier wants his piece of the action.
I'm with Eagle, screw em.
I'm with JanetH. Riddle me that one BATMAN.

Sorry raeccrash778. My mistake. What particular manufactuer were you referring to that makes Danny's wing stands and front axles, has press releases about him when he wins, but is not his chassis manufactuer (as you mention in your posts)?

Actually, if you read my post carefully, I asked a question (and have yet to receive an answer). Again ... "So no other suppliers of parts on a race car can celebrate the win but the chassis manufactuer?"
As far as Danny (or any other racer) goes, we (XXX Race Co) support them regardless of the chassis they chooses to race. A lot of what chassis a driver runs is personal preference. Looking at the race wins that come out every week, everybody has a good slice of the pie, and we have our piece. It would be great if Danny would (or "could" ... lot's of politics invovled) run our frame, but we as a company aren't going to force a driver into a product if he has a preference towards another. Nor are we going to pull his support...we as a company made a decision to support our sponsored drivers and the choices they make (which does not appear to be the case of many other manufactuers in todays culture).

XXX ! This isn't about you, but if you want to make it about you, I'm happy for you to take another beating. This is about loyalty to people and their brand.
For example: Take the King >>> I'm sure there has been times when his chassis brand hasn't been top of the tree...but through thick and thin he's been rock solid. Schatz similarly for his chassis brand.

So, quit talking and REALLY walk the walk........ You're still selling Winters parts and Simpson gear, aren't you!!!!

Sadly, it's almost impossible for you to purchase completely All-American made items in todays' world. Even if you think you are...sometimes you don't know without a lot of research. This thread started with a question about Danny switching sprint car chassis. It was hi-jacked and turned into an XXX vs. the world thread. XXX has every right to sell OR give away parts and $$$ to advertise their business. They can advertise that their wing stands, torsion bars, torsion stops or whatever is the first to cross the finish line. The real answer to this question is that sponsors come and go based on what they feel is loyalty and performance issues. It's always curious when a long-time customer switches brands, but sometimes it's not about performance, it's about many behind-the-scenes issues that most people don't know about.

TripleX start making tires now too...lol?
Chinese-made tires recalled in USBloomberg News
Jun. 25, 2007 10:46 AM
Foreign Tire Sales Inc., a New Jersey tire importer, asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for help in recalling 450,000 allegedly defective tires made by a Chinese manufacturer.
The tires, used as replacements on pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, lack a critical component, which could cause the tires to fall apart on the road, FTS told the agency. The Chinese company, Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., built the tires for FTS with a gum strip that was inadequate or with no gum strip at all, FTS said. The strip is used to prevent tread separation.
FTS's claim is part of a growing number of product-defect allegations involving imports from China such as tainted pet food and lead coated toys, said Sean Kane, president of Safety Research & Strategies, a safety advocacy firm in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, that disclosed the FTS situation today in a statement. The alleged defects could lead to more litigation against U.S. carmakers that use the tires.
They don't even know how to spell sprint car

Maybe he's been having the same problem alot of other people have had with Eagle. It's been pretty tough for many people and dealers to get products from them. Eagle1 can come on here and say different....go ask a dealer and then decide for yourself if that's the case.
