[chupp n bloomer fan]

WoO and Lucas picks

WoO-
1.)Brandon Sheppard(8)
2.)Shane Clanton(6)
3.)Billy Moyer Jr(4)
4.)Devin Moran(4)
5.)Brian Shirley(3)
6.)Eric Wells(2)
7.)Tyler Erb(1)
8.)Rick Eckert(1)
9.)Chub Frank(1)
10.)Frank Heckenast Jr.(2)

If Madden(3) stays on tour, top 5, just don't see it happening.

Lucas-
1.)Bloomer(6)
2.)Josh Richards(7)
3.)Tim McCreadie(7)
4.)Jimmy Owens(4)
5.)Don O'Neal(3)
6.)Dennis Erb Jr(3)
7.)Earl Pearson Jr(2)
8.)Steve Francis(1)
9.)Darrell Lanigan(2)
10.)Jared Landers(1)

I'd pick Jared higher, but dunno about health. And I think the top 3 is a toss up and is going to be a very competitive year.

As a loyal fan of team zero, Josh Richards scares the chit outa me. That young man is a talent and natural wheelman! He is very easy on equipment and uses the whole racetrack. This new generation and the modified hybrid crossover drivers who bang that cushion lap after lap will have plenty of good weekends but you can't win a championship like that. Richards works from the bottom, middle and top bit will only use the cushion as a last resort. That is why he scares me and deserves to be mentioned as a threat to Scott. Wouldn't surprise me if he won 10-12 maybe 15 races. He is also a likeable guy who passes clean and never complains. I may be a fan when he gets out of those Racket chassis lol. He is a threat and I guarantee Bloomquist knows he has a fight on his hands! Can't wait boys, only weeks away!

I agree with everything you said. The only thing I can see being a problem for Josh is trying to mesh with a new team but, if that happens quickly I can see 10 wins and be a threat.

Kidrock, I bet the new team has every note that Rocket ran on the house car last season. Mark wants a championship in both major divisions. I'd be willing to bet that the Best performance Motorsports ride is basically a second house ride. I think they developed a plan to sell a couple hundred XR1 cars in the next few years and they knew it was gonna take Josh to do the job against the Lucas guys and felt comfortable with BShep getting the job done against the WOO boys. I bet if Vegas had odds, the younger Richards would have to be a favorite. Personally I like Scott as the underdog and we all know he is gonna heat up from the end of May through October. He can't let Josh get a huge lead like he did 2 years ago with JD. I believe from the bottom of my heart that hadn't they had some races cancelled in 2015 Scott would have gotten the job done then. Either way as long as all the drivers and fans make it home safely at night that's all that matters! I'm excited about 2017

[kidrock]

You make some very good points. And yes If he starts winning right away and is beating Scott the rocket sales should go up. I agree with your assement about Josh getting a big lead might be hard to catch back up. I agree ir has put some excitement in the Lucas tour this year. It all starts soon

Passes clean a lot of the times.........just sayin.

I believe tmac gets streaky and wins it....

[TackyTracker]

not sure about Lucas attendance last year but I'm guessing they will tick up and be packed most nights.. reserved seating may not be a bad idea

I knew that was coming sooner than later.

Would be sooooo cool if Tim wins the points title. Lucas is a tough pick. I'd say Brandon Sheppard walks away with the WoO belt.

No time like the present🤘



Bshep is the logical choice for sure, I think it will be closer than many think though on that woo deal.......

Sticking with Tmac to win Lucas while Josh and Scott fight/wreck it out for 2 cond and 3rd.

Ask casey roberts how clean josh drives

[RCJ]

It's hard to bet against the Tennessee Yeti not repeating, but I thing Richards will be on a mission to prove he can beat the best.

And how many other people has he raced against cleanly? I have no idea what his issue was with Casey, but I'm pretty sure he has proven to you and BBQ that he's pretty dam good and usually CLEAN.

I agree. There was a whole lot worse in 2016 besides the Josh/Casey incident. And they didn't come to blows.

I did see josh run up thru the pack at one of his local race tracks ruffing his way up thru. I cant remember the wv race track. No clean driving there. Im not discrediting him hes one of the best. But I also have seen him bull his way around to.

[Scott Boesel]

Not much mention of Morgan Bagley on the people posting there woo picks did he decide to drop off woo just curious
