Just an update on why Brandon didn’t run heat. With the rain delay it is running the program at least 2 hours late... the plane was scheduled to pick him and crew up between 10-11pm the pilot flew down from Minnesota and would of been over on hours they didn’t leave.

Back in the day ...Before air conditioning … Super haulers … Name a racer that would have not slept all weekend to pull this off …. D. Trickle comes to mind ….

[Josh Bayko]

They also walked 15 miles uphill in 10’ of snow to school, right?

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Just curious- does this change their plans on racing at EastBay?

Now that Sheppy isn’t leading the points anymore, I doubt they hit East Bay.

[Pennsboro32]

It would make more sense for them to run Tyler County for 5k, and Atomic for 7,500 now instead of going all the way down to Tampa.

I'm pretty sure mark said they are still going to East bay. Pennsboro there woo racing out west next weekend

True. Forgot they scheduled those Iowa races.

[ZERO25]

Earlier Mark had said they will keep running Lucas because of the Winners Circle tow money!

[WildBill32]

B- Shepp went from leading the points to now 7th in points. In just one night. T- Mac the new points leader facemask and all.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

I guess the fact BShepp was there-hot lapped & qualified still gives him perfect attendance in the “road to Wheatland “ travel/show up money?

[Dlmfan123]

Foxfire I would say yes. Mark said the car from golden isles is going to east bay so I'd guess there gonna fly down or something

[NeedforLMspeed]

It's not the "road to Wheatland" anymore.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Well excuse me: what are they calling it now?
I realize the show-me was changed up- but Lucas Oul is still paying the perfect attendance $$ to whatever they are calling it now! Maybe you should inform us dummies on the new name or destination point!!

[Bob Hubbard]

Can someone clue me in on why all this racing is free …. I thought everything was going ppv ….

You're getting more upset about it than I am.

And it's called the Road to Eastbay.

I am not upset, you called me out- thanks for the clarification.

His posting style and general annoyingness reminds me of a certain poster from the past.....

[thexfactor0210]

He still gets $700 to show up...plus $1500 for perfect attendance through East Bay...plus he is very good at East Bay and will make $800 per show and they are all televised. No way they skip those.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Yes he is good at The Clay by the Bay! He won 3 of the 6 Lucas races in February & is only 35 points out of 5th place in point standings.( which at this point they aren’t very concerned about-I would guess)

[NeedforLMspeed]

The are in the running for the extra money at East Bay but in June both series conflict so I don't see it lasting to long. Even if he was still leading Lucas points.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

You are correct- but with the covid19- many races/tracks are still in question. At some point ( probably like you said-June) the 2 series paths will collide & he will drop off Lucas. At this point with the virus- anything can happen- but no way can Rocket 1 run both series in full for the season.

[TS FAN]

My thought on B Shepp running or not running East Bay. Whether he was leading on points or not would have absolutely nothing to do with it. Nothing. He runs for points in WOO.
