    I don't know the answer to this and i have to agree with what's said above. Alot of overtons wins came racing in his home region. What happens if you put shepp in Illinois every week. Here's a question for the statatitions. How many times did they race head to head and what were the results ? Personally for me it's shepp, Owens, overton in that order hands down

      good post jking , you have to look at the competition where these wins took place to give this type of credit , i still think the lucas series is the toughest , I would go Owens , shepp then overton , I am a bit prejudice though....lol.....

        Most wins, Shep. Best against the strongest national circuit, Owens. Most wins while being of primary responsibility for car set up, Overton.
        I hate time trials.

          Overton way to many $3000 wins on the Southern Nat. series. Race Lucas or WoO and the story might be different.
          Sheppard had 16 wins that paid $10,000 or more.

            Here is my take - bash away with your opinions. These are numbers - no opinions.https://twitter.com/ADLM_Rankings/st...76994181435393
            In the aDLMr drivers are rewarded for showing up often and performing well against the top competition!!!

                I’m probably the biggest Overton homer on 4m, and that goes back a few years before 2020 — but BShepp is still the man. Big Sexy is closing in on him though. The Wells/Overton combo is badass, as I predicted it would be the day they announced the deal. Still not BShepp level though. Not yet.

                  Owens is third. And it’s not really that close.

                      He won the least races of the three by quite a bit. Not saying I agree with Terry’s assessment, but I do see where it’s possibly coming from.

                        Owens runs against tougher competition consistently there for his wins are going to be slightly lower.

                        6 of Overton's wins came just in the Southern Nationals.
                        2020 race count:
                        1/2 of an event

                            My personal opinion of the woo vs lucas is its to close to call. Lucas has more of the big name races but the bottom line is for me when guys switch between the two series they generally stack up about the same. It's not like a guy that runs fifth on back in average in lucas goes to a woo event and cleans up. As far as jimmy vs shepp i feel like shepp was still better on average when they were in the same race. Oh and make no mistake overton is a force to be reckoned with and I'm patiently waiting for the day he gets back on tour. But until then it's all woulda coulda shoulda and what if's

                              There were some stats posted earlier this year that Bshep did just as well racing with the Lucas regs. Thats why i give him the nod!
