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.
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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

I believe that they replace their hauler every 2-4 years.
Tougher competition?Quote:

Which is smart, but yeah, $$$$$. Can you imagine putting all that time into your cars and operation, and having a POS hauler?Quote:

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 longQuote:

This is very True and B Shepp is a very smart driver. Doesn’t wreck equipmentQuote:
