LOL. This is classic.

[ptown]

So they put out a statement saying they’re going to put out a statement?

[Illtsate32]

I didnt know Bob and Bobby had their own Rocket car lol, id be willing to bet they are just changing a wrap..if its a brand new one better yet, but ive seen nothing about their own Rocket to be debuting 2mro night a Davenport...edit I since seen where Bobby is racing his own rocket...that better dirt diggler? Lol

[Mantis]

Interesting.......Bob said they were going drop in one of his personal power plants into the DB ride to run this weeks WOO showes per DOD.

Either somebody changed their mind or they're not keeping ol' Bob in the loop.

[Planetzer0]

So next time a driver is penalized all they have to do is show up with a new chassis and number and be good to go? WRG can't be this dumb can they? Well.....

Is it a Pierce car, they ran a few Summernationals races with bad results.

[Illtsate32]

He will be in a Rocket XR1...

[Kromulous]

That marks the beginning of the end of that "Team", my original prediction was that he would be out of that ride by August...

Maybe they will finish out the year. Not likely the Dunn Benson people are happy about this. A team and driver was wronged, the driver goes back for more? I doubt very much that team will want to deal with the Pierces next year. But I have been wrong before. LOL

Its team not driver....do you not remember Sheppard coming home and getting back into his own ride???

[plunks7]

T-Mac to DB next year??? Just a thought.

[a25rjr]

I could be wrong, but I don't see the same passion for the sport from Kemp,as I did from Big C! Theres nothing wrong with that either, maybe its too sentimental or other priorities are more important!

Dunn team should have known that whole family is a bunch of knuckleheads, they can do so much better.

Wasn't it stated last week that the penalty has already been served? They can race but the team is choosing not to..

[Mindwalker]

Lol, the bobby clown show is still alive and well. Lol some more!!!

[T3GJason47]

The penalty was dropped. And none of you seem to remember at the beginning of the year. Pierce purchased 2 XR1 chassis before the Dunn Benson thing was announced. I understand Dunn Benson not wanting to run any WRG shows anymore. WRG tried running there name in the mud. As for Bobby racing in the WRG shows. Hes gotta eat! Racing is how he supports himself. No racing=no paycheck.

Probably staying away because they know they can’t juice their tars.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Must be the same reason why BPM isn't too interested anymore in running WRG events anymore either. I guess besides the Dream and the World.

[cgrace]

I don't think Shep ran the family car -- he was banned too.I just think it is a crock of $hit that they claim those 4 SN races counted as his penalty. Typically, the penalty doesn't start until after appeal.
