Top rides in the series?
Never won anything before him.
Haven't won anything since him.

I can't argue some of you post, But I can argue one of the top rides in the series.
That's just not true.
Statics don't lie

I would have to agee with the last post. Before james there was doug colby. One of the top pro stock drivers and didn't win. I think he came close once. Now they have woody driving, one of the best sk drivers in the country, and have not even come close to winning after james left. I know he had some bad races but the kid is great behind the wheel. You can't tell me he is not worth the price of a ticket. Maybe the time off was good for him and he comes back even stronger.

Date: Fri Jul 31 12:52:45 2009

James will drive for Hillbilly Racing as a team car to Rinnie Silk.

Next year he may look for a full time ride on the Tour if all works out.

Date: Sat Aug 1 10:00:05 2009

Civali can drive there is no doubt about it in fact he would be tough to beat if he didn't have a melt down.To bad he did because he lost a lot of repect from competors and fans like me .Ireally don't think you can ever get it back that easy and he will have to work real hard to get back to where he once was.This is a make or break deal for him if he screws this up it will probably end his chances on the tour.I wish him luck but its up to him to prove himself on this one.As far as Pitcat I really do't feel his is #1 in the country far from it.I watched him at the North South SK race 4 or 5 years ago and Iwas really impressed with him but he really hasn't showed me much since.It just shows how tough the tour really is just because you have success in an SK doesn't mean that you will win on the tour after all stats don't lie.Not many have made that step and abigger step than most think from SK to the tour .Just think about it how many former SK drivers a constantly front runners on the tour,not many.

Date: Sat Aug 1 13:59:28 2009

James had 3 other offers to drive on the Tour and passed.
He was not ready.

But he wanted the right deal.
This is the right deal.
This is the Car and the owner he wanted to drive for.

Go get um kid
Carve their eyes out

I'm with you on that one kid can wheel a car, but the night he tried to kill Dave Dion did it for me.

bowatcher · Car Owner

just remember he has already won a race for the hills

WhelenModifiedTour · WMT Moderator

At Speed51.com it states that he will drive three additional races for the team.

Your right I checked the stats on the 28 your right stats don.t lie. They should be asshamed with the money they spend they should be a top team.I guess all the money spent by them doesn,t guarantee you will win.Something is missing some driver some race team who knows .

Date: Sun Sep 20 19:50:14 2009

Quite a return wrecked at bristol ,not his fault ,wreck at thompson his fault ,wreck at loudon definately his fault.Ron Silk in victory lane.PRICELESS!

Date: Mon Sep 21 06:32:27 2009

Lets see:
Where did the 28 start..........30th.
Where did the 79 start....... 11th.

Where did the 28 finish........27th I think.
Where did the 79 finish..........13th I think.
The 79 did finish on the lead lap.

And the 1 took him out at Thompson.
That my friend was right from Chad Little!!

Yes Silk won, and he is a very good driver, good for him.

The one took him out???? I have the TAPE.....you can come to my camper and watch it anytime!!!!!!!!!!!

Date: Mon Sep 21 19:44:14 2009

I doudt vey much that Yurko got that tape ready in a week.

Anyway, when the 79 went 3 wide the driver of the #1 just plain ran out of talent and hit the #17and came back down and got the 79 in his right rear.
That's from the Tour Director himself Chad Little.

You two are a bunch of Aholes, get a life.

Date: Tue Sep 22 10:59:47 2009

How the hell did the #28 get in the middle of this square dance?..Well if we are doing the numbers, The #28 is in the top 10 in points, and the #79 is where? (car owner points) I would say that Woody (and the King Racing team) is having a GREAT first full time year. He is second only to Todd Szegedy in laps completed. Not bad for a guy who is seeing some tracks for the first time.

Date: Tue Sep 22 12:59:35 2009

Wont be ahead for long and you can take that to the bank.

Date: Tue Sep 22 14:23:29 2009

Thats right, and the kid can drive the hell out of a car.

Allright Annons. SERIUOSLY, if you can not use this Forum for anything more than bashing drivers, calling people a**holes, and basically spreading nothing more than rhetoric PLEASE stop posting. The topic that WAS being discussed here is a past Rookie Of The Year returning to the Tour.

And once again I will have to say that I find it amusing that all the trouble comes from ANNON posters.

Date: Wed Sep 23 18:06:05 2009

No bashing here. I just think Woody is doing a great job. He only has 28 starts on the WMT (funny, thats his car number too!) and he is in the top 10. How can you say the guy is not a great driver? Put your personal opinions aside and look at the numbers. Rowan is also a great driver, But he has over 70 starts. Look at the company Woody is keeping in that top 10! the only guy with about the same number of starts in the top 10 is the past True Value Modified Champion Chris Pasteryak. Look at all the guys behind Woody in points. Just because the guy has not reached victory lane in his first full year YET, does not make him any less of a driver. I think its just the opposite, The guy has the ability to know if he does not have the winning car, he is just going to bring it home in the best possiable possiation. And THAT is just being heads up. I think we will see Woody (along with Rowan and Chris P.) is victory lane shortly. Besides, who (aside from James Civali) has reached vivtory lane in their first full year? Because I can name a HUGE list of current winners who didnt!

Date: Thu Sep 24 08:48:06 2009

I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if it is done tastefully is not a problem.The a.holes and so on are worthless and serv no purpose at all to anyone.The problem is just because you can drive an SK and win on a regular basis that you will succeed on the wmt.The tour is really really hard look at the stats,they don,t lie.The big thing with Cevali is that he did have a real great first year and people just took it for granted that he was destined for greatness.This of course didn;t happen .The problem is you have someone like Ryan Preese and what he has accomplished in two years on the tour and everyone thinks its easy to win on the tour.Sometime it takes longer to accomplish consistently running or winning so be patient and post tastefully please. aww

Date: Thu Sep 24 10:32:38 2009

Great young drivers like Ryan Preese, Todd szegedy, Matt Hirshman, and Ron Silk didn't win in their first year either. Even greats like Lia didn't see checkers in their first year. How long did it take the GREAT T.C.? Bottom line! with only 14 races a year, its going to be very rare to see ANY first year winners anymore. But it does happen, Eric rudolph!! Lets just be happy we have great drivers like Woddy and Rowan that will be scratching and clawing for that first win. And by the way they are running, It should not be long!

I just want to say that i NEVER meant ALL Annon posters. some of you have very englightening and interesting things to post. We all know the ones I am talking about.

Date: Fri Sep 25 08:20:19 2009

Sorry annon you are wrong Preece did win in his first full year .He won Martinsville leading 276 laps.It just must have slipped your mind, he also has a great year going this year roo.Grantedhe is driving what has been a top running car for many years but it still takes more than just a good car to win races.He has proven to be one of the really bright spots on the tour .He is really awesome with the fans too.

Date: Fri Sep 25 12:03:55 2009

You are wrong about Preece.
He ran the family owned 40 car for the 1st year he was on the tour.
So the Martinsville win was his second year.

But he has developed into one of the stars on the tour.
And a nice young man also.

Date: Wed Oct 21 19:30:18 2009

Even after the 10 car taking out the 58 car numerous times this season . The 58 sits 11th in points and this is his rookie season and your 2009 roty.

The 2006 Rookie of the year also one a race in his Rookie season.
James W Civali took a car that had never one on the Tour and won at Stafford.
