    How did Sheppy drive like a dumbass. The incident with Bronson looked like a racing deal to me. Sheppy was coming up and Bronson was coming down at the same time. Just ran out of room. It was easy to see on TV with the turn 3 cam they had.

      He said after GIS he was going to be more aggressive this year. Sounds like that might hurt him

        He needs to go look at a replay of his heat race last night.

        He jumped the start way before the line and got away with it.

          He said he needed to be more aggressive at golden isles early in the race

            I think Mark Richards should talk to him about this. He tied the WoO win record last year and had a banner year. He does not need to drive any different. If he would not have drove as "aggressive" he would have had a top 3, and maybe a win, easily. Looks at Vado, he got three 2nd place finishes. Nothing to snooze at. Also, he had 3 wins at Arizona and did not drive stupid.

              He was taking about one race in a series he doesn’t run. You’re thinking way too hard about this.

                I don't think people realize the pressure on Sheppard to win races. He made a gutsy move to win a heat race two years ago that I was at. I spoke to him after the win and told him that was pretty impressive move. His reply "thanks, I just didn't want to get yelled at for not winning"

                  I don't believe I, or we, are overthinking this. He has talked about big pressure to win from family and just being the driver for Rocket. I am saying he does not need to change anything and drive more aggressive. He had one of the best overall years in history last year and biggest money won maybe ever (besides the Million). Just remember that.

                    Should be easy to spot at the races. Bobby Fukin Pierce shirt and a neck brace
                    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                      Sheppard doesn’t drive like a dumba$$, it’s East Bay. They move around a lot, pitch it sideways, change lines.

                          Congrats to Moran, one of my favorites. Nice to spread the winning around. As for Sheppard, I am sure he will be up front again tonight.

                            If mark richards would put bobby pierce in that ride. They wouldn’t loose a race. He would shatter the single season win record

                              It was a good race and that is all that matters IMO> As a fan.

                                You would surely think so but evidently not last night.
