Saw Brett Coltman of Coltman Farms will be the primary sponsor for BShep for 25 races next season. In addition to owning the DLM teams for David McCoy & Ethan Dotson, he sponsors approximately 15 other DLM teams including RTJ. That is a lot of money being spent on Dirt Late Model racing. He must really love racing. What is his background?
Is Scott Riggs still involved with the team? I know he was at the Longhorn press conference announcing Brandon as the new driver of the house car
Not sure what he is farming but it appears to have a good crop .
Hamburger on the hoof
Must be one hell of a farm.
Coltman Farms also have their name on a few asphalt teams in the SE.
I wonder what that costs for 25 dirt late model races?Quote:

Let's see . . . hell of a farm. 30 beef cows for one Durham or Clements engine. 30 for one Longhorn or Rocket chassis. 30 for hauler rental . . . . and on and on and on.
nothing against bshepp but he won't sniff a championship next year won the dtwc on a sketchy track and by his standards mediocre all year ... I could be wrong but I doubt it
What you're saying is being reunited with Edwards, and extra help from Rumley, will mean nothing? Ok...Quote:

Pretty wild take, especially considering how good Sheppy is.
A track that everyone else had to run on. Sheppard is good on a rough track. Seen him win many of races in the rough.Quote:

ill never beat a man (or woman) up for making money in this tuff world, to many do today, jealousy i guess, I'm proud for them, and glad they enjoy racing
Thanks to them for helping the sport we love
Personally, I'd rather watch advertising for Rocket, Dyers, Longhorn, or Bulldog rearends than the garbage commercials you see on regular TV. It's a nice change. It gets old watching all the fudgepacker miracle cure drug or supplemental Medicare pkg. commercials.Quote:

Just from this post it tells me that their marketing is working!Quote:

Brett Coltman is a great guy. I talked with him for a long time at Eldora last year and he's very passionate about DL racing. He sponsors ALOT of drivers and just this week he bought another hauler, so he now has 2 haulers for his 2 teams David McCoy and Ethan Dotson. Yes, he's been dropping serious cash on racing but he has plenty to go around from selling his business Direct Technolgies. Glad he's supporting racing with it!!
I stated at the end of last November BShepp would not sniff a championship and while the season is very young I have seen nothing that has changed my mind he is not beating Bobby Pierce if he goes world of outlaws and he sure isn’t going to beat all the Lucas boys if he goes that routeQuote:

He did win the Dirt Track World Championship.
It's way early to know what's happening this year.
According to Dotson, Coltman made his millions in the medical prescription fulfilment industry!
