Bobby was what. 15? 16? When b shep was still winning sn?Originally posted by Zonks32x View PostWhat he said.Before the "crown jewel" argument comes full circle AGAIN....Let's see if Bobby has as many wins on Lucas/WoO tours by the time he is 25, B-Shepp's age right now.Let's also see how many national touring championships he has at age 25. I would contend it's harder to be good and win throughout an entire season, compared to winning one weekend.And....let's NOT overlook the FACT that the 32 didn't win a summer nats title until BSHEPP went to the national touring scene. I'm not saying the kid isn't good. He is very good!!But "best ever" at his age, or any age....tap the brakes.

Nobody has been a better driver at Eldora. 🏁Originally posted by spiderma4 View Postu also have to give bobby credit for winning in the family cars with no help driving for top ride and having mark to improve his skills. not even scott was winning in his own cars when he was younger. plus scott was not much of a truck driver at Eldora.

Seen him run the bottom and seen him run the top.. When hes on hes at it, when hes off he looks bad as most. but you have to remember they use to not let kids in the lates not so long a go. so good for him that changed. lets come back in 5 years and see if we should call him the best. Hes Not yet.

Scott not much of a truck driver? Dummy took off the sway bar. That truck race to Scott was like giving Hitler a nuke. Kid in a candy store. Nobody in history is better at Eldora than Scott. Bobby will be the best one day but never will he do what the goat has. We are all smart enough to understand that when the old man calls it quits, well, it’s 604 crates for everyone. Sport won’t make it without him

I give Bobby and Bob Sr. a ton of credit for racing/winning in the family car. If that was "easy" to do, there would be more families/teams doing it.Originally posted by spiderma4 View Postu also have to give bobby credit for winning in the family cars with no help driving for top ride and having mark to improve his skills. not even scott was winning in his own cars when he was younger. plus scott was not much of a truck driver at Eldora.
No help??? That's a slap in the face to Bob Sr. as a car builder and a bigger insult to him as a HoF driver don't you think?
Bobby had a HoF'er to mentor him each step of the way, and I think Bob Sr. deserves a ton of credit for Bobby's development. And that's not to overlook or undersell Bobby's talent either. Doesn't matter how good Dad was...Bobby had to go out and win those races. Dad couldn't do it from the pit wall.
Not sure how Mark improved B-Shepp's skills?? Mark offered BShepp the house car ride b/c of Brandon's already demonstrated ability. And, Brandon has certainly capitalized on being the house car driver...thus proving Mark made the right choice.
In regards to Bloomer. Did he have a HoF'er mentoring him each step of the way when he was younger & driving his own cars? 30 years later, I'd say he more than figured it out.
So Scott struggled in the first truck race at Eldora and Bobby finished 2nd a few years ago...and the point is??
You know what 2nd place and 25th place have in common on the racetrack? They didn't win.

Calling Pierce that best there is right now is laughable. He very well may end up the best someday, but that kind of talk is way too premature.

Let me know when Pierce throttles the field at the World like Bloomquist did the year Window net gate happened.
Lap 19 pulled off to remove window net.
Got back on track at back of field.
By lap 72 was leading again.
Had 1/2 lap lead in 28 laps.
Won World 100 by almost 1/2 lap.
with out a doubt the fastest car in town and there wasn't another car / driver remotely close to the same zip code.

Agree with Hudson. He's maybe better than Bobby was at 17 years old. If he continues to progress, who knows how good he can be. Time will tell. I know he wants to eventually go NASCAR but who doesn't.Originally posted by kidrock View PostI watched him win in the Kidz mod, Crate late on a weekly basis running the bottom at Lincoln Speedway. Then when he first started in the supers he was winning running on the bottom. Now he has mastered running the top if the cushion is there for him. I will say he is one of the best doing it.
We have watched him start in the back and march his way to the front running the top side and having us on the edge of our seats in amazement when he does it lap after lap. The only thing you can say is that kid is really good. I will say that Hudson O'neal is going to be a good one as well.8/13/16
