hey speedbump, who might you be talking about? Someone who left the tour a few years ago and now races stafford sk's on a weekly basis?

I had any guess at all to who you both are talking about I would have to say Zach Sylvester.

thats who i figured he might be talking about

And if money needs to be brought (not saying Bob wants someone too), then sylvester will have no issue in that department..

The question with Zack is can he win?
Coby and Santos are proven winners.

Zach can win. I know of at least one race he basically had stolen away from him by a late caution flag. I worked on the car that caused that caution. Doug has one win in nearly 100 starts. Bobby has one in a quarter of that. Not taking anything away from either driver, but one win does not make you a shoe in for a ride in my opinion. Unfortunately it will most likely come down to money over talent. If it were based soley on talent I do not think we would be talking about any of these drivers getting the ride over some of the rookies available. That is one million percent just my personal opinion.

I'm sorry, but the fact is Coby and Santos are in the record books as winners on the WMT.
Zack Sylverster is not.

i really dont think money is the issue here guys, i just think bob wants to be comfortable in his driver being able to win races. ive worked on a few different teams over the years and not one of them comes close to the preperation that is put into the 4 car. And if i remember correctly, didnt sylvester quit on his team 4 races into the season with the 77?

Ok lets see than why was Donny a winner with the 4 car? Was it the team? Him and the Equipment Bob has? Is he a winner now in the Trucks? HUMMMM
It takes Great Equipment and not running for your family. Also, a good gel with the crew. And a car owner that listens to his driver once and a while right? So modracer until you know why Sylvester quit you need to know the whole story. Have you raced with the Chase?
Oh no thats right you haven't...And how did DOUG do with Curt? HUMMM.
It is what gels the best..the crew, the driver, car owner, crew chief and the equipment! Lets remember you don't have to win to be up top in points!

My opinion is it will come down to a combo of money and talent. I also believe Bob wants a driver with some edge to him, therefore i would say Coby has the lead on that one, however does his ego get to him too much? Just my opinion

i guess everyone will just have to wait and see who is chosen as the driver, but you cant take anything away from any of the drivers in the running.....they all have talent.

I definitely have to agree with you on that one ModRacer4. More than anything I am just glad the #4 will be returning in 2010.

modracer4 · Crew Member

whelenmodifiedtour, bob has assured myself and the rest of the crew that we will be returning. So, with that said, unless he has some strange change of heart.....we will see you at the track. Hopefully this year will be as eventful as last year.

Well we can all finally stop guessing on this one. Now the question is will someone take Bobby's place in the second HBR entry this season???
