That dude could wheel a car. Remember seeing him a few times when Wayne County first opened back up.

I think he told us that the car he had was an older GRT that he had tinkered with. I remember him being real laid back and fun to talk to. The whole crowd that were with him were the same way. Best of luck at Bobby Labonte Motorsports. Maybe he can get him one of them MasterSbilts they've got up there and race sometime.

Hopefully he can get one. I know Devine can wheel one. Justin has yet to impress me any.

The Reason Justin has that Red Lifelong car is because bobby drove it in the prelude, and bobby got into a wreck and tore a few things up and after the race he told Justin that if him and the boys could fix the car he could have it, and race it in the dream. But he failed to make the dream. But he got to keep the car Bobby drove in the Prelude.

justin is getting better...seat time is everything...he qualified 69th at the dream..between moran and brian shirley...was running pretty good in the heat until francis cut a tire in front of him and he got into him a little...first time ever at eldora
car was pretty tore up after the prelude, he could have just said the hell with it and watched but he jumped in there and they put it back together....hes a racer and he'll only get better with time...as for being the adopted son...he pays his on way and if you ever talk to bob , his granddad,about how they got started racing and what they have done to get to where there at. those guys have earned every thing they have gotten.. not to mention there good people...

I don't disagree with any of that. I make a point to go and talk to Justin and Bob everytime I see them. They've always been a class act. Just wish my dad told me that I can have his old SLM if I put it back together. Overall I think it's very cool and wish I would've of had the same opportunity. Guess I'm jealous to some degree, but I'm glad he is able to do that. I like the fact he's learning on dirt. I think they are overall better racers in the end for car control, that's my opinon anyway. He'll get there and I do watch his progress and hope he makes the Dream one day. I'll be rooting for him!

Yea but the major thing is Justin isnt even Bobby's son. He is his nephew. Terry is Justin's dad.

Wouldn't go that far as to say that. I've seen him busting his butt to work on the car.

californiakid....
if he had a golden spoon in his mouth terry would be footin' the bill..he's not i can assure you that. like i said before, go talk to justin granddad and ask him about all the sacrifices that he made to help his family (terry and bobby) get to the point that there at. some folks aren't just happy with settling, those are the guys that are successfull. i know its easy for some people to sit back,poke fun and make accusations about this and that. most folks who make it in society whether it be racing, teaching or plumbing, usually get ahead my making sacrifices and outworking the next guy.
hey diggindirt....its all good man, i am jealous to a degree because i know how it feels to strap it up and hammerdown. since i sold my stuff, i have been working my tail off to save my money so i can go racing again. hanging out with earl, justin, fitzgerald has taught me quite a bit about how to approach people and how to act at the track because you never know who's watching. glad i can call them my friends....oh yeah i also asked terry if he would adopt me and he said i ate too much...lol
