Josh Richards departing Rocket House Car

[dirtdobber45]

You don't think Owens would like a bring your helmet bag and race kind of deal? Rocket has plenty of help and backing where that would be feasible. He could run his modified deal at home and be with the family a lot of the time.

Owens is a hands on guy. And a family guy. Thats why he works out of his shop

What about Max Blair? I wouldn't mind seeing him get a shot. He just sold his new XR1...

I would say Richards to Lucas and Bshep to house car on WOO. I think its the only way Josh could go to Lucas because Mark is so tight with WOO

Bshepp is going back to driving for his family's team again and is running Lucas. That was announced a while ago.

What about bringing in a young hotshoe such as Josh Rice and building something long term. The kid has a ton of talent and Mark has notes for all the venues they visit. Win now with an established veteran, or take a gamble and look for something long term?

bet that don't happen - bshepp to rocket house car...putting all my pennies on that

Isn't Tony Jackson Jr a Rocket man? He is competitive and has won on a regular basis out in the Mid West. Might be a fit there.

Maybe a shuffle of second generation drivers is starting. Moran to Pierce, Pierce to Rocket, Throw in ONeal Carpenter and Sheppard and see where the dust settles. That could be fun.

I dont see Bshepp in the house car. He left Best to turn around to be in the house car and be partners with Best? Just dont sound right. Devin would be a great choice but how would Donnie and Mark get along. Owens..no I dont see him doing it because he likes to work out of his own shop

I was at Owens shop this summer and all his stuff was at Barry Wrights and Jake Oneil was renting out Owens shop this was before his switch to rocket

[BIGSTEVE00]

Maybe Brandon Sheppard back in the house car?

So that would mean the two drivers just exchanged rides for next season. I have a feeling theres more to this than what they are letting out at the moment. But honestly I don't think your going to be able to get any better of a driver to driver the house car than BShepp. He already knows the ride really well and has won a few races in it including the DTWC. I am a huge BShepp fan so I'd like for this to be true. But if its not then I would have to go with somebody like Eddie Carrier or Jared Hawkins. Or totally go out on a limb and put somebody like Michael Lake or some other young-gun in it.

[nuff said]

Logical choice would seem to be BShep.His family team deal was announced before this news was announced.But if there was some hard feelings with Best when he departed that could nix the Rocket deal with Rocket/Best teaming up.

[TS FAN]

What ever happens, IMO it is important that some team/teams challenge the 0 next year. That car is so dominate right now, that every race on the schedule is his to lose. This is not great for the sport.
There are several LM drivers who are top notch, but they have to have cars capable of winning, and that was mostly missing last season in Lucas. Not trying to get his loyal fans panties in a wad. LOL
It is simple reasoning. When I go to a race, I prefer to not to know who will probably win it.
