Does anyone know if Carlos got his motor back together? I know he had some problems in practice at Dublin at the last race.

As of right now, no it's not back together, but trust me, he's working on getting something together for this weekend...

He's a good driver, seems like something happens to him almost every week though.
It'll be good to see him back at the track.

Yeah, he's had it rough the first couple of years he's been racing but thankfully last year he got his stuff together and got the car running. This year hasn't been too bad, but friday night idk what happened but the motor just wasn't having it.

Meaning he hadn't really had the best of luck until last year. He got out there late last season and he did such a turn around last season and the beginning of this one. But lately, it's just one thing on top of another. This season seems to be taking a toll on alot of teams.

You got that right........
Last time I talked to him he said his frame got tweaked. Looks like he's got that figured out and now the motor.
When it rains it pours sometimes. I hope he does make it back this weekend. You get used to watching some of these teams and when they are not there, the place seems empty even if the house is full...If you know what I mean.
BBQ...How about the Thompson's? They gonna be at FMS Saturday?

Last time I talked to him, he said he could set the car up on jackstands and it would rock where the frame was twisted. That's never a good sign.
We were caught up in that wreck with AJ. Man did it bend up some stuff. That whole wreck was weird. Everybody was trying to stay off of everyone else and wound up being a huge crash in the end. One of them racing deals.... It's gonna happen sooner or later....
Funny thing is the guy that lost it and everyone was trying to dodge drove away...... Go Figure.....

Yeah, that was a pretty unfortunate pile up. Lots of clean driving folks taking a pretty big hit on that one.

It was actually Timmy Blackwell that lost it, very uncharacteristic of him. Carlos and Hank spun to miss him and we got together and then the train came after that. I know AJ tore his car up and I know there was one more car involved. I don't remember who that was. I know who your talking about....same one that got together with Crystal in the C1 last run at Dublin. They were hung up tight.
I'll be looking for ya and the Thompson's Saturday!

He told me the same thing last time out at Fayetteville. He's fun to talk to and seems to have a good outlook on racing.....
Most of the OWM folks do.
