In a heat race or bmain but not in the amain. They did used to have a rule that when going to the work area you could change anything except a left front tire. Not so sure that is the case anymore though because DG changed his the other night. And you are also allowed to only have 3 laps from the time you enter the work area and the field is set to make your changes, once the 1 to go is given you are not allowed back on the racing surface.

If thats the case, that's good, that's how it should be.
Unlike most here, I don't pretend to know something I don't, such as the MSCS rules because I refuse to run MSCS races.

Your original post wasnt comparing JS and Fitz in the beginning of their careers it was comparing them right now. I agree as do most that Fitz is a rising star but JS is having ANOTHER of those historic years. Face it you aint gonna win this argument. If Fitz can win HALF the races Jon has in his career he will still be considered a great driver, he is just not there....yet.

The last 3 MSCS races pay a total of 25000 to win 25 thousand to win Why won't you run them don't you like racing for money are maybe you're already rich and don't need it really I just wondering

Thanks race fan20 , were only comparing Jon and Blake now , and Jon is by far the best , Blake will make a great driver . In a couple of years he will be winning a lot of races . and YES Jon has trashed a few cars in his life time and has a few more to trash . Jon and his experence shines when a yellow or red comes out and he's running lets say 5th or maybe 8th . Next thing you know Jon has the lead and running off with the MONEY!!! Give him a little time to adjust the shocks and weight jacker and watch out he's gone. It's like he just turns it up a couple of levels and runs off and leaves them in his dust. There's The #53 in the early part of the race and a different #53 late in the race . That is experence 20 years of it behind the wheel . Blake is going to be a great driver some day . And Jon didn't start out with a Sh-- load of CASH behind him in a $350.000.00 dollar rig and unlimited cars and parts. Wonder if Blake could do it on limited funds . Ha there a new one for the message board to start a thread on, we should start a pole on it . and see what people think of that. Not trying to run Blake down , just wondering how it would play out.
I think the important thing in the Jon vs. Blake debate here is that there is a youngster that is already fast and steadily improving that has the potential to be a star. The sport needs youngsters that are racing sprint cars not just to get to the next series but are here for the enjoyment and the sport. We've seen lots of young drivers in sprint cars in the last few years, but they are gone after a couple of years either to other series are because they didn't advance quickly enough. We need stars like Blake to develop and take over for the stars of today (like Jon and DD) as they age up and cut back on their racing schedules.
Exactly who started a Jon vs Blake debate anyway? Two very good drivers at different ends of the spectrum. One a veteran, the other a up and comer. Trying to compare is fruitless. Just sit back and enjoy both of them and let their true talent shine. Why does it alway have to be pi--ing contest.
