Brandon shepherd has a new ride?

[pink floyd]

sheppard will be in his family owned stuff in the wild west shootout and will be in the best performance car running the complete lucus oil tour. per DOD also keeping the B5 as his number

I knew the best performance car was going to run the complete lucas tour in 2016, but I was hoping westfall would be behind the wheel. they released him way to early; matt would have turned a bunch of heads next season and I guarantee you he would have won some races. hope he lands a solid ride in 2016. best wishes to bshepp in his new ride.

Too many people are hung on car numbers.

I would prefer to see car numbers stay with drivers, it makes it easier on us old folks.

Sprint guys are he worst. They change cars like some people change underwear. I think Jac Haudenschild changed cars 4 or 5 times this year, none of the cars were numbered the same. I don't even know what his actual number is? I know he ran 22 for years, I believe that car owned by a Elden guy.

Very good point, this is part of the reason I don't follow sprint cars much. I probably only see 2-3 sprint car show per year and it's only when they are on the card with LM's. I like to know who's running where during a race and not knowing their numbers makes it difficult, for me anyway. There typically is no identity, just knowing the names is not enough if you can't pair them up with a number. jmo

It might be easier, but changing numbers and schemes can have a very positive impact on merchandise sales. If was a touring driver I'd change numbers every couple years and the graphic scheme and car color a few times a year.

change schemes and colors all you want, just leave the number the same. changing numbers is not required for successful merchandise sales, ask owens and bloomers.

Bloomer did change his number. That was a poor example.

Davenport has driven cars with three different numbers over the last ten years. I've heard no complaints.

bloomer changed his number how many years ago?? I was giving examples of drivers who had not changed numbers in the last 2 or 3 years that have awesome merchandise sales. bloomer is a great example.

It isn't very often that anyone considers the impact anything has on anything other than their own wallet or preferences. I will say changing the scheme, colors, etc. is a very good idea several times per year. I like a few others would prefer that drivers keep the same numbers, but I'm not going to rake anybody over the coals if they don't. Often times a driver runs for an owner (note, the person who pays the bills) who has a number preferences (Boyer/Lanigan).

As far as merchandise sales go, Josh Richards runs the same number each season and has for quite awhile and can't imagine him changing anytime soon. With that said anytime his scheme changes I'll be in line to buy a new shirt the first chance I get. No need for a number change.

Thanks,
Jeff.
