[QUOTE="Dave_G, post: 36631, member: 69"] Erik, I agree with you here. Scott has been in the hunt at almost every race and has been right up there with the big dogs. But the big force to recon with will be team Optima's Ashley and Smith. They are the most focused and talented drivers in that class by far. Their DNF's this past year that cost them the championship were directly related to money. Things were tight after Duralast bailed on them and they wern't able to replace some components on the car and as luck would have it, that's what failed and cost them the championship. Now, with Optima on board I'm confident that the reliability issues will go away and it will be all up to driving skill. On another take here..... New 39 inch tires will be available the first of the year and if most teams run them their going to have to do major mods to their trucks to solve reliability issues. Mainly with rearend gears, spindles and trannys. It could get ugly..... Dave "I know it all, but I can't remember most of it..." [/QUOTE]
