So who challenges Clanton in WoO in 2017?

[dalemcfan]

With Richards officially announcing he is following Lucas next year, who will step up and be Clanton's biggest threat for the WoO title? I've been thinking Overton will run regionally but with Josh leaving Overton would almost be a lock to finish top 3 in points. I think with the help & equipment he now has from Weaver he could beat Eckert and challenge Clanton.

I think Tmac would be smart to switch back to WoO now. I think he could be a bigger fish in a smaller pond but I'm not the one footing the bills.

Overton could win WoO for sure.

I doubt Overton run it.... weaver is about building the biz and selling cars... not running a national tour....

I'll say Brandon Sheppard will be tough

[Cardirt0]

Sheppard..........

This would be a good place for 32 Bobby to land.....

this thread should have been titled "who challenges Sheppard for WoO crown in 2017"

Prediction: Sheppard will win a dozen or more WoO races in 2017, and wins the title in a close battle with Clanton & Moyer JR

[calverton]

I think the 32 is happy where they at might be wrong though

Steve Francis comes back to life on the WoO tour

Sheppard has a better chance of winning the title than Clanton does. It be nice to see somebody like Overton but like it was said Weavers not going to run a tour schedule...maybe.

Sheppard probably should be the favorite. As he is driving the car that has won a lot of these championships. Clanton is always up there on the podium on a constant basis and that is what it takes to win a championships. As far as that goes, Francis and Eckert could step up and get the stars aligned right or some racing luck and make the rest of the field look bad all year long. Every once in a while, you see that corner speed or drive off the corner that made them so great, just a few years ago. If they caught that and kept it all year, they could make it hard on the rest. New seasons are great. Every driver is undefeated so far.

Unless Clinton finds some speed over the winter, you are probably right.

I look for BMJ to win a pile of races on tour next year.
