    I am wishing a good ride comes around for Josh. He is a really good person and too good a driver to not have a good SLM ride.

      Guy was the hottest driver in late models. Then he got out of the house car and was a mid pack driver. Wasted a lot of years playing around in the CBR cars

        You're forgetting that he won the Lucas title the first year after leaving Rocket 1 when he drove for Best Motorsport. Terbo took that ride when Josh went to CBR after 2 years.

So basically, like you say, you cant show up with a helmet bag and gets in the car and goes. Thats not necessarily the recipe for success.
          I have heard the thing about Clint wanting his guys to have fun. It’s just weird cuz I always thought the fun part of racing comes when you are winning andHaving success wether that be carrying a helmet or laying in the dirt behind a open trailer burning the midnight oil. It seems like the downfall is Clint be a good person and prioritizing his brothers employment over having a team that competes at the level it should with the money it spends. I just wonder if clint said hey Mark I am going to send all my equipment with josh and give you control to hire who you want and maintain it like a second house car if mark would say no thanks Clint I am not interested In having a second house car on the other circuit which is fully paid for. Something tells me Mark and Baker would figure out a way to hire the right people and manage a second team so josh and bshepp could go head to head with longhorn’s defacto team house cars of tmac and Davenport. But this is capitalism so Clint can spend his money however he likes.

            I thought he left last year?

            I would not be surprised to see him driving a 99R car at all. Boom has the funds and his dad's ear.

              And Brandon Sheppard was driving that car before him. Neither Brandon nor Terd have been a threat for the points title in that car and Josh did it in his first season.

                Don't think Randall Edwards was on board at Best with Shepp. Terbo had the second most wins in Lucas this year, 1 behind JD. Really unsure of just what point you're trying to prove.

                  Put Josh in good equipment, he's one of the best out there. CBR is the pits of hell.

                    Randall has been with best since Westfall drove for them in 15.

                      I'll dumb it down for you. Josh is the superior driver and Randall was there.

                            Wasn't sure, figured I might get corrected on that. Did they run local mostly?

                              They ran lucas with Shep and local with Westfall. Shep won his first dtwc with Randall and best.
