GMS is so behind in the development game. Hell, they are still running bodies from last year. They are still running '18 bodies, so I could only imagine the last update of the chassis. Not to mention their engines are ****. I still remember Iowa 2 very well, Briscoe would just flat out pull away from John Hunter in the straight-aways.
If the cars are as bad as I think they are, then at this point he's overacheving than anything else. The first half of the season, he was one of the better drivers in the field. Now, he's been struggling. A couple of top 5s', but with GMS hunting for sponsors. It was only a matter of time with the Raiders stadium primary sponsor in Alligent and ISM Speedway, I could imagine Gallagher is feeling a bit of a squeeze.
John Hunter's sponsor(s) are spotty and a bunch of one-off are not going to help GMS. It's a shame because this is like the third time John Hunter's plans might get yanked again trying to progress through the ranks.
He's too good of a driver to be a truck lifer IMO. Dude is only 21 years old, too. I feel as if he's getting what he can out of the equipment at this point. This leads to Nemo overdriving as well and making mistakes, he's still a bit error prone at times.
Still, I think he's done pretty good considering the shape of the team.
