Better Driver
Brandon Sheppard or Bobby Pierce?
Yes I know I have asked in the past.
I think both have been around long enough now for folks to have some real thoughts on the two of them. How do they compare and what is the biggest difference in your eyes between the two of them?
Sheppard by far. He is fast on low and high side.
Absolutely stupid post! HoosierDirtFan is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for things to post!
I don't think anyone can argue this is even close...I didn't even realize Bobby was still running late models. :D
A better question might be who are the top young drivers in the country who are not running full-time on a national tour?
Bobby is certainly better than a handful of guys currently running the Lucas and WoO tours.
Better than B-Shepp...that horse has left the stable and it's not coming back.
Will see. Another flash in the pan, pierce hasn't done anything lately to even mention his name.
gotta keep that name up there, look at me me me !!!Quote:

How much longer will Hoker keep throwing money out the Pierce window?
I don't think that anybody is a better driver than Brandon Shepard right now. He won three 100k to win races last year. And left Florida Speedweeks leading the points in Woo & Lucas Oil.
Shepp is primed to perhaps be an all time great. Also he is in the best car in the business. He stays in that ride long term should win lots of races. Pierce is really good but has struggled some of late. Also I’m not sure how consistent he cAn ever be with that go for broke ride the wall style. Can be insanely fun to watch at times but bends the car up more.
Lmao and lmao some dam more!!!
The dumbest post in awhile. Not even close. The bigger question is what does Bobby know on the car? As I rarely see him work on the car and dad has been very open about retiring soon. Meaning he will be walking away from it all.
Well, he sponsors other cars that do not even run as good as Bobby, so there is that. Their relationship appears to be more than one handing money and the other grabbing it.Quote:

Hoosier is a joke... I’ve said that for years! He even attempted to make his own 4m because people weren’t praising his ROLL CALL’s enough...Quote:

Thank you so very much!!
Mr. 4m trues to control the board at all times, but even remotely “trying” to compare Bobby with Brandon is insane! Maybe hdirtfan should concentrate more in his www. Usadirt.com site & a little less on 4m. Most of his stuff is copy/paste anyway other than his drivers list that he usually starts 5 weeks ahead of time. And they aren’t usually very reliable!
Does Hoker still supply Pierce with a hauler?Quote:

I didn't think I would ever say this , but I think Overton is as good and maybe even a tick hungrier right now.Quote:

BP, a has been since his run for a full season on tour. Excuse after excuse.
BO, big sexy, would be nice to see him stay on tour, definitely has what it takes.
BS, nobody better right know behind the wheel of a SLM. best team, best driver.
Shep is sold in the slick or tacky, inside or out, aggressive or smooth. Usually not controversial on the track. Runs good in his own equipment too. But the answer is the team, they have their stuff together as a group like no other. I hope Pierce can rebound some, he’s good for dirt SLMs and can make some noise here and there. But to compare the Pierce team with Rocket 1 is apples and oranges.
I got to think those 4 votes for Pierce were a joke. Nobody could actually be serious about that.
You brought up the comparison of them being out there on the same playing field week after week as an excuse for this thread shouldn't be between Bobby and Brandon..........the same playing field that Bobby was on with them at one time.Quote:

Nice choice of screennames btw......shoe fits.....like a glove.
Is this a joke that's all I'm gonna say.
Big sexy. Now why can’t I get a nickname like that?
I guess we know how many usernames piercefan has lolQuote:

Compare both at age 21. One has a much better record of accomplishment for wins with multiple Crown Jewels on the sports biggest stages in family equipment. The other did not. However, one projected a much better image and did not tear up nearly as much stuff.
Now consider one is older and got the best ride in the business. He has taken care of business and did exactly what he was supposed to do and has continued to project a professional image. You cannot say anything negative about this dude. He just does what he is supposed to do.
I think you have to wait until the younger of the two is the same age in order to accurately gauge their ability. One is much more accomplished at 21 but did he have better equipment?
One is more fun to watch but costs more to maintain. The key is whether or not the other gets the opportunity that the other got in order to show his ability.
Personally I do not know or pull for either but one is older but the other has one more Crown Jewels. One has won more races and more prestigious championships.
Just be glad both are out there entertaining us all!
Only a few years apart. Brandon won a crown jewel young and in family car how easily people forget. People act like Bobby doesn't have the equipment but his sponsors throw a ton of money at him. Brandon earned to drive the rocket house car. If they thought bobby was better he would be in it.but But he's not. And the world he won Brandon and bloomer and 3 other top notch drivers wasn't there.
I read this thread for amusement. It seems we are running out of things to talk about. Kind of sad that Bloomer is not much in the picture any more. So I guess we have to drum up new things to debate. LOL
I am a Pierce fan because of his Dad, but this threads smacks of desperation.
Sheppard is a top driver. No debate on that. Right?
No debate he is one of the best. But he is in the best ride. If I was an owner I would pick him above BP but their are others that can do that job just as well. JO, JD, BO and other would also dominate in that ride.
BTW I do think Mark has the right guy and while there are a few that could do just as well none would do any better. He gets all it has to give and brings it back without a scratch almost every night.
I was not taking a shot at BS I just remember that at 21 BP had won more but he also tore up a lot more.
The poll was better driver/most complete driver between the two mentioned.
Was pretty easy.
Sheppard is a better driver. He takes better care of his equipment, and can race anywhere on the track. I like watching Bobby race, he is a hard charger, and can make things exciting. But there is just something about him I don't like. Maybe arrogance.
Some form of this debate has been hashed out roughy 50 times in the last years. Its Sheppard, and it’s not anywhere near close.
