Thank you Jeremy, you have a bright future ahead.
Matt, the answer to your question is yes, on most of your questions--
Yes I do have one of those 741hp "Trash Cans" as you call it, and every bit as much $$ in it as your beloved 360 sprint, and have a 40% winning percentage in those dumpster races.
Used to crew and sponsor a Bandit 360 car with 11 wins and a couple of track records, and a rookie of the year.
Used to think just like you do Matt, but now we elect to move to a division where it ultimately costs less to run, and run up front consistently as we are all getting older now.
Racing is just racing, some faster, some slower, and It doesn't always mean that one driver or crew has more or less talent than the others.
We all came from stock cars then up to sprints, and most everything in between, now back to stock cars, and you know what they're all a blast.
Never under estimate your opponent, no matter what he drives.
I still watch sprint cars every chance I get.
I think Bakersfield got some new clay this year, and if so, it usually takes quite a few races to get them worked in.
The Schweitzer's have been in the dirt business a long time, they know what they're doing.
Tracks catch a bad night every now and then, all of them.
I would say that an unseasonably warm and windy week prior to the race added some challenge to track prep, but every car had to work with it.
Those trash cans bring some tracks back later in the night, SMS is one example
