2015 Rumley 6 vs. 2019/20 rocket house car

[84wedge]

In a 50 lap, Lucas oil sanctioned race, who you got? I pick the 6. That car did things that season I haven't seen anyone do since. I remember him spinning out on the backstretch and still passing everyone without a caution. 6 was up against tougher competition that year then the Rocket car has been since Marlar left and still made a boat load of money that year.

And yet they only won the Lucas title by a mere 55 points. Some say it might've been different had the double header in GA not rained out.

YEAR. Yes, but consistently in the last 5 yrs nobody has done what that team has accomplished. B Sheppard anyday.

The actual 6 car, from 2015 would lose. Cars have gotten better.

[Highside Hustler25]

As dominate as that #6 car was, it would be cool to see.

I get laid off in the winter, so I sit around and watch a bunch of old races. It's amazing how much the attitude of these cars have changed since that time.

You're right though.

Most of what they had with the device has been reapplied within the rules. Other things have been learned, as always happens.

You are right, it wasn't quite as noticeable as the switch to lr behind, but it was a big change in the way the cars race.

Didnt Richards state in a Dod article that Bshep has won 900k this year?

Some of that was against them Lucas boys......his stats was pretty good against them!

Think they won over $850K this year, they won more last year.

Not this year, but in 2019 they won 900+k. Won the most money on both tours that year.

[dirtcrazy4u]

WOW. So I wonder how much money team valvoline budgets every year ?

[Highside Hustler25]

I believe that they replace their hauler every 2-4 years.

The one car, the 6, competition goes up and down always. I’d take the one car, very consistent, and has had multiple years as good as the 6 on both tours with no signs of slowing down. And he only won the Lucas points by a small margin as was already stated.

I believe that they replace their hauler every 2-4 years.Which is smart, but yeah, $$$$$. Can you imagine putting all that time into your cars and operation, and having a POS hauler?

It’s also a great investment. Those haulers don’t lose their value.there are some 2015 S&S’s on racingjunk still going for 400k

[Rajflyboy]

Put JD back in the 6. Yeah yeah yeah.

[Jking24]

I believe that they replace their hauler every 2-4 years.I beleive that actually makes money if not brakes even the demand for those hualers is high so they tend to bring realy good money since the line to get a new one is so long

Imagine it? Heck, I've witnessed it for quite a few years. Glad that's finally history.

#1. Team blue has more sponsorship than anyone out there. Yea, yea, some of it may be product. If there bringing in hard dollars that is why you see 6 cars in there shop tours. Many have Tryed but MarK richards goes about it the correct way

I think it's more like 4. And one of them is a crate car they ran a few yrs ago. But I don't ever remember them doing that. 🤔
