As per DoD who all but confirmed.
Nothing wrong with the Paylor car except the driver. Now the problem has been removed and sent over to Rocket. If I was the Bradshers, I would take a hard look at Mike Marlar, if he was interested.
Carson Ferguson is the new driver at Paylor Motorsports.
So does he wind up in the Richards car/smile?
Crazy how this is all playing out. Sheppard leaves Rocket house car ends up in the Longhorn house car. T-Mac leaves Longhorn house car either by his own omission or by Longhorns choice but, ends up in Rocket house car.
I think it will be interesting as to how this works out. I don't see T-MAC as the rim rider he once was. Many races were won by Sheppard and Hudson up against the wall the past few years. Seems that's where the Rocket 1 shines sometimes. Timmy has even stated before, that's not his cup of tea. We'll see if he's capable of running that style of racing once again. He was good at it in his younger days. Maybe he's still capable. That car seems more fit for a young hard charger. Not someone who keeps the car straight and runs the middle to bottom. No dis on McCreadie. Just seems the Longhorn fits his style a lil better.
I agree with your thinking too. Highside
T-MACS program had stalled for performance for a while whether it was lack of support from longhorn or something within team/team communication who knows. Paylor motorsports gave timmy good equipment. Timmy can still drive. Rocket has the car and resources and team members so this was an upgrade for Timmy. I'm no fan of rocket not that there junk just prefer longhorn. Can Timmy make the rocket go? Yes he can as he drove them for years under sweetners deal. Can he still make them go? We'll soon see. Going to be different for me adjusting to seeing him in rocket house car. Good luck to all involve!
It'll be interesting to see if the "instant a$$hole just add Rocket house car" applies to Tim. I doubt he'll be driving over people for position the way that car possesses other to.
So Huddy, Sheppard and Eckert are all ***holes?
Is their anyone you don't hate?
Maybe Mark Richards wanted a driver that had a lot of experience on all the tracks on the schedule.
Offical as of this afternoon.
Not enough air in the room would be my guess……🤘
It's a business.....besides race winnings/points payout what is another main source of income??
Some people don't appreciate an outside source controlling their decisions when it comes to money or their own personal marketing.
After talking with Overton at TST and listening to Terbos interview with bubba love sponge I am convinced that Overton was offered rocket 1 ride and turned it down.
Overton mentioned earlier in the year that he doesn't think he's cut out for full time touring.
Overton probably has one of the best deals in DLM racing, why would he even think about leaving that deal?
Also, If I remember correctly, Brandon and his woman just built a new house in Georgia. I’m not sure what she does as an occupation but sometimes it’s more complicated than just he turned down the offer.
It’s probably better for Marks ego that Brandon didn’t go there…….imo.
You gotta remember, those are young guns who havent sewed their oats yet!
Mark was probly ready for a mature driver without the sideshow!
I think him and Tmac will last a few years!
Nothing against T-Mac but I'd bet Rocket 1's winning percentage will drop noticeably. Those young guns do tend to drive the tires off the rims, so to speak.
It's weird seeing TMac in that Blue #1. Even James slipped up once and referred to the 39.
This one's gonna take some time to get used to.
The 111 was rolling last night…….he was about the only “mountain mamma” I saw that could keep up with the stampede……really good race.
Blair has been horned since the start of last year
We shall see, he is already qualifying better, won a heat his first night and finished 1 spot behind Bobby and ahead of RTJ his second night. It is not like the Longhorn house car is setting the world on fire. 25 races, 2 wins and 9 top 5's. That is way below the personal bar BShep has established form himself in his past years.
