Brandon Sheppard to Longhorn in 2023

[MIdlmfan]

The Rumley 5 has only been raced 1 time and that was at All Tech in which Brandon Overton drove it to a 3rd place finish. TMac, Jonathan Davenport and Overton all tested the 5 at Charlotte a week before the World Finals.

Overton finished in second place not third

True and JD won in a Longhorn. Just like most every other high paying purse this year ; When the big money was on the line they delivered and Rocket fell short. They just didn't seem able to get the job done. It could be even more daunting for them this year with even more top drivers switching to the Longhorn brand ? ?

Rocket did make B Shepp. Where was he prior to driving the rocket house car ? This announcement is shocking to me. I can only say this, terbo tried a horn and didn't like it then went back to his rocket, and I'm sure still has his rocket or 2. The same goes with Sheppard, I think he wants to see if a horn is that much better, if not I think you'll see him back in his rocket. Last year seemed to be a struggle for Brandon, I think he has a lot to show folks in 2023. The people on team valvoline's crew are without any doubt one of the elite crews in slm racing. Hummmm, was B Shepp sick for the lucas banquet or ?????? Hey, maybe DOD knows.

This post has some very interesting structure to it . . .

I think the ideal scenario would be having a Longhorn for the 1/2 mile and slicked off tracks, and a XR1 for the bullring and hammer down tracks.

It will be interesting. Brandon won't have any issues.
