In regards to Richards getting different cars than other rocket customers i highly doubt it...pierce gets accused of this too...they want to sell cars and if people dont win in them nobody will buy them... You can have 2 100% identical cars with 100% same set ups in them...then put 2 of whoever you think is the "best" drivers in them...and both will make it get around the track but chances are they will be taking different lines....its all about driving style

Definitely. They might be experimenting with other stuff, but once it’s proven to work, pass it on. Judging by their success, pretty sure Rocket gives their customers the best possible ride they can.

And as far as Pierce, Bobby was their best driver for sure, so I’m sure people would say that stuff, but Bobby is just very good.

House cars and customers can't be on the same stuff. Or else you would never learn and advance.

Masters ? You can't be serious. Sure these house cars try different things. After they get them sorted out they want the word out. The thing you forget to remember, rocket won both series last year. You got what they were running. It's never been a secret. Rocket will take teams to a racetrack near you and test,test,test. It's what makes them #1 no other builder out there does what they do. Some drivers have accused them for not spreading the word. Most of those lost it and never looked in the mirror to see what the problem was. A lot of rumors of that exact nature spread and the guy switched to longhorns. All the mirrors fell off the wall and he hung his helmet up.

Yes he is serious. That's why the setups keep changing. It may only be small differences but that's how its done. As they find things that make the cars better then it gets passed on down the line. I'll tell you another thing. YOU have to be crazy if you think that Rocket is the only chassis that tests. They ALL do it. EXTENSIVELY!!! That's why there is not 1 chassis brand that wins ALL the races. Weather you believe it or not Rocket, Longhorn, MB, BD/29, and a host of others are all winning brands. The world don't revolve around Rocket......

Bobby is on motor #3

Brandon was referring to the difference in the power curve from what he's currently running compared to the RY he was used to in the house car.

You killed it, i know stuckey and his team bust their butt to help all in there car and test like crazy.

[Hollis]

I am going to guess that Rocket has Bobby and B-shepp on some new setups.

[MI Dirt Fan]
