I’d replace Wrecky with Chris Buescher in the 17 right now. A team of Newman and Buescher is a pretty good start for RFR I’d say. In all seriousness it just isn’t working with Ricky and RFR, I think the dude could use a change. I wouldn’t laugh if SHR found a way to get Ricky into the 14, I’d be intrigued actually.
I think Stenhouse could do well in the 17 if he drove like Buescher, takes his time during the race to get his car right and moves ahead as it gets better.
That’s why I’m saying, I’d be intrigued to see what Ricky could do in say the 14 or maybe even the 95, we never really have seen him in great equipment....or better yet with a team that improves his equipment as the race goes on with a weekly consistency. I don’t think Stenhouse is a lost cause but I think it’s a lost cause at RFR, especially since Newman has seemed to be outdriving him the last 8 weeks or so
I agree, I watch racing because I enjoy it and don't have to deal with any headaches of running a race team. If the team wants to pay Casey $80 million to hit 50 home runs, I am good with that.
A while back I read about the succession plans these teams have in place. They are smart business men and know what they are doing. As for Burton, maybe not so much.
It’ll be a bitch when he’s spewing all this sponsor jargon and “waiting on sponsors”...then Bell is given the 20 with the same sponsors Jones has. You’re completely right Preacher is a weasel...he’s always reeked of a Sunday Morning TV Evangelical Preacher to me.
Who's footing the bill?
I'll believe it when I see it. This year they have less cars/trucks and racing personnel than they had the year before in every series.
Is the 95 not a car just shipped over from JGR? Does the 95 team have anything to do with the car?yeah that 5th Yoder 95 in 24th place is a real screamer, They're all standing in line to get in that one.
It's Toyota's idea of an affiliate car whatever that is
Omg lmao. Touch em all....home run lmao.
Never say never. They just make a deal that Bell goes into a JGR car and it gets run under LFR
Why expand? They've got a really good thing going and frankly what has worked out to be a good strategy: focus on basically one team and funnel your entire budget into them versus Ford and Chevy getting spread a little thin. They can focus on JGR (and the occasional "satellite" that is basically JGR) and pretty much whip everyone. The obvious downside is what we're discussing in that there's no room at the Inn for young talent, but it is what it is. I personally think that TRD has given Jones a fair shot, and for whatever reason he hasn't lived up to the hype. They're not going to let Bell get away, so he'll get the 20. The real question is if Bell is that good, or if he's maximized his opportunities in what are the best rides (by far) in the lower series.
