If one wants to use the 'consistency' theory?   Then ferg has it right.  Williamson was  just as consistent as Mahaney no?   Plus he won

Hey ,  fried bologna  is great . And ya, seeing you brought up Mat having 3 teams   , Mike  mainly  used 2 cars , that he maintains , hauls ,and sets up himself  . The big block car is a 2017 and  the SB is a 2014 ( not making excuses , just stating facts ) . And yes  , I agree , $100,000 is a hell of a lot of cash to win on NE dirt tracks in one month ! Congrats to Mat Williamson .

I noticed that on Mandee’s videos that Mike almost always is driving the hauler. I can’t imagine that is too common, especially for the bigger toter haulers that the driver also drives that on top of the car?

I was also really happy to see Mike have a good season this year. Last year he seemed like he had a pretty strong small block car but REALLY struggled with mechanical issues constantly with the big block. Then he had the SDW incident as well with Watt.

He seemed to have both programs pretty dialed in, won a very competitive A/S track championship, won the unofficial points title for OktoberFAST.

It seems like year 2 was a very successful year for the Huttig team and I hope they continue to keep momentum rolling in year 3 and hopefully get a chance to race a lot more.

What happened to the new car they were making videos about. They were filming while building it.

Most drivers also drive the toter/truck

He definitely found something

But but what's going on with Matt Sheppard?

The Candy bar was named after Grover Cleveland's daughter Ruth....not Babe Ruth

Does anyone actually believe this? 

[Jack Brady 474]

It's actually true, kind of. If you look it up, the candy bar came out 17 years after Baby Ruth's death. But it also came out as Babe Ruth's career was rising fast. But the company that made the Baby Ruth won in court and was actually able to stop the sale later of a candy bar named for Babe Ruth. Because it sounded to much like their Baby Ruth bar.  

Is it true? Yes technically.

The STSS points battle is tight as balls and will be decided this weekend and we’re arguing over the origin of the name of a candy bar. That gives me heartburn.

But no body answered my question about what's going on with Matt Sheppard. ;)

I'm kind of routing for Pauch. But Freisen had a miserable truck season so I won't feel bad if he takes it all. 

[DowntheBackStretch 1,655]

I would like to see Friesen or Pauch win the race tonight and win the title. I would like to see Sheppard finish back in the pack. Im saying this because I think it will make it interesting for next year to see how Sheppard performs. MS has performed at such a high level the last couple of years that it now looks like he is in a slump or something is wrong. When in fact he is still having an impressive year, especially if you changed his name to John Doe. I honestly think it was great luck on top of his ability that enabled him to rack up the stats that he did during the last 2 years. This year he hasnt been lucky. He has only been good.  Only 19 wins in 70 starts this year. Friesen is the man with 27 wins in 63 starts.

How did that work out LOL

[jsw14886 189]

Ask Mike and Mat who they think had the better October. Both will say Mat guaranteed. Consistency is cool but winning big money shows is more cooler lol

Very impressive run for the 9s. He hasnt been able to do that more than a couple of times this year against that type of competition. Coming from the back like that is what Friesen does consistently. Hats off to the 9s.
