Brandon Sheppard to Longhorn in 2023
I guess the long rumored switch from Rocket to Longhorn is true. I never thought I would see the day. I know many on this board have a big smile with this news, but I am not one of them. So much for loyalty, but what do I know???

One of the few Longhorns on Integra Shocks.

There is no such thing as loyalty when it comes to racing. If a driver/team feels like there is something to be gained from switching manufacturers of anything, including chassis, engine, shocks, etc, very seldom does loyalty factor into it. If loyalty was part of the equation, GRT would still be a national brand. Some guys may hang on longer than others if they have an especially good relationship with a particular mfg. but I don't think there's many racers out there who would hang on just for sentimental reasons, lol.

Loyalty will get you left behind.

This is such great news. I'm laughing like a mad man.

When I saw the story my first thought was "I know Snake is loving this!".
Although I do think it's funny, once everybody switches to Longhorn, there will be more temptation by the others (Capital, BD, maybe Rocket) to lure guys back from Longhorn with incentives, and some will jump and win a couple races and the tide will start going back the other way for a while!

I'm not sure why it was so hard to believe. I wasn't a fool after all.

This must be the ultimate insult to Mark Richards and Rocket Chassis ?

Mark and Rocket made Shepp not the other way around. Shepp was just another among a long list of drivers to pilot the #1. Arguably, Shepp probably wasn't the best to drive the car unless you think he's better than Francis, Hitt, McDowell, Hartman, Birkhoffer, Davey J., Gill, and Josh just to name a few.

He’s been the best rocket house car driver. The only other argument would be Josh. Sheppards resume is better than all of those guys and he’s still young.

Mark and Rocket made Bshepp??? That’s a pretty far stretch…….but you did say arguably I guess.

He was lucky that he racked up a bunch of wins in the house car with unlimited resourses on the depleted WoO circuit but when he went to the more highly competitive Lucas circuit he was basically an " Also Ran " . . .

I'm severely starting to miss the days when we had some parody in the sport.

Rocket did make B Shepp. Where was he prior to driving the rocket house car ? This announcement is shocking to me. I can only say this, terbo tried a horn and didn't like it then went back to his rocket, and I'm sure still has his rocket or 2. The same goes with Sheppard, I think he wants to see if a horn is that much better, if not I think you'll see him back in his rocket. Last year seemed to be a struggle for Brandon, I think he has a lot to show folks in 2023. The people on team valvoline's crew are without any doubt one of the elite crews in slm racing.
Hummmm, was B Shepp sick for the lucas banquet or ?????? Hey, maybe DOD knows.
