House car success???

I like the comment before you edited it. It was more ridiculously hysterical than this one.

Ya he sure does. Just like he stated in dirt on dirt article, he kicks everyone butts in the $3000-$5000 races.

$3000 - $5000. More like $1200 - $4000

What's the standard you hold them at? They have 12 tour wins in WoO and 5 Lucas Oil wins. Thats pretty close to their average for wins a year. Only Davenport and Bloomquist have more in Lucas and Rocket1 only runs select events.

I don't think their "disappointing" season is going to prevent them from selling cars.

Smells liks sour grapes to me....
The rationale behind posting Rocket1 is having a "disappointing" season is because a number of us believe that BShepp is a better driver than Pierce and we don't share the belief that Rocket1 would win more races with Pierce behind the wheel.

As far as WoO points are concerned...two mechanical failures (and that's racing) are why Rocket1 currently sits in 3rd.

Exactly 100%. He is even stated saying Rocket1 would win every crown jewel with Pierce as the driver.

A Club29 is a Black Diamond. They are jigged and built at Stuckey's shop. JS

....and straight from the horses mouth, they are identical! JS

That's a bad problem to have

As far as Shepp in the Rocket 1, Mark has stated he is more than happy with his current driver. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

LOL. a Disappointment? With the WoO and Lucas wins, all 17 of them, Sheppard has won over 300K. The only people to make more were EPJ and Bloomer, and that's because of the Million and Dream.

Rocket1 also won the WoO's biggest event and a preliminary night.

Lol, there is nothing wrong with Rocket1

I think his point was, with the breadth and depth of resources Rocket1 has they should be nearly untouchable and miles ahead instead of what, 40 markers. Instead 2 smaller teams with probably 1/4 the funding and resources are chomping at their heels. Heck one of them works a day job and races for fun. Its the same argument some make when they point out Rocket has 80% of the cars in a given race and then somebody else walks the dog on them. Strictly from a probability standpoint that shouldn't happen very often, not with those odds.

I bet Rusty Schlenk isn't too worried about the opinions that some of you jealous types have about his numerous $3K-$5K wins.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Really? who just won the world!

The world is not for sale!!!!

Personally I'm thrilled to see Rusty & Cj have the successes they are having with the resources they have. Too many these days think racing is a phallus measuring endeavor, that the whole point is to always go to the biggest race and have a showdown. Frankly that is idiotic if you know in advance your over matched for whatever reason and your goal is to turn a profit. It takes big resources to be competitive at the big shows and before you mention TMac as evidence to the contrary, get real. TMac has been on the road with mucho resources for years, he may now have less funding but he still has the knowledge and experience to make less money work. Congrats to Rusty, CJ and TMac for reminding us you can do a lot with a little if your smart about it.

I'm pretty sure Rusty has raced more this year than most of us on here. Jealous much? People want to complain about local racing dying and complain about guys that race locally at the same time. Congrats to Rusty again on the championship. He's doing what most of us only dream of doing. I know id give my left nut just to hot lap a super late.

[MI Dirt Fan]

All three have had a misfortune or two to the point where it's a 3 team race for the championship. Similar to last year in the Lucas series.

Seems as though Davenport and LL have been a bigger disappointment than Rocket1. They may even have more resources than Rocket1 as well. Only real reason why they basically ran away with the championship was Bloomer and his typical shenanigans and Richards not running well most of the time. EPJ probably would have been a bigger vhallenger had he been in his second or third year with stuckey.

?? Wasn't rusty planning running woo tour this pace season but pulled off not do to money. More do with him not being really competitive during speed weeks. Not hating, sounds like he made a better choice to fall off tour make money else where.
