I cant wait to see those SHR cars at my home track! Its gone be awesome
There used to be a Smith in every manufacturer’s roster. And now Chevy took them all.
As well as Every Series
If we don’t see Ryan Preece and Chase Briscoe drafting with each other while passing at least one car in the process I’m gonna be disappointed
Preece better do another flip
Excited to see Talladega Nights schemes and see how Sammy Smith does next year
Didn’t expect JRM to pick Sammy Smith for the 8. That came out of left field. But, Smith has talent and funding. Plus, he’s 19 so he’s got a lot of growth and development to go through. Similar to Sam Mayer
I wasn’t either but I already knew about it for a few weeks Because of a Twitter account that goes by the name of private p****
Same a lot of people were thinking Kvapil or Hocevar, this was a silly season curveball
I wonder if this could possibly mean anything for sponsors like Bass Pro Shops and TirePros moving up to the cup series with Berry now that they arent going to be sponsoring any specific races for JRM.
Could be sponsors Carson in any races he might do in the 88 car next year
@John HaasGood point
Will be interesting to see who is in the JGR Xfinity cars next year, I have a feeling one of them will be Riley Herbst and the other being Cory Heim.
Bob had something about Corey staying in the truck series
Wish we’d get an actual Talladega night race
Unfortunately it will never happen due to Talladega County being rural and not having the money to massively upgrade their electrical grid for one or two weekends in the year.
As for the SHR Talladega Nights cars… I love the idea. I kinda hope that Will Ferrell makes an appearance as Ricky Bobby just for fun. That would be nice.
“If you don’t chew Big Red…” (you all know the rest).
At Texas this past weekend there was a guy dressed up as Ricky Bobby and the guy look just like will
this means two cars are open in JGR next year
#18
#20
lots of potential for the drivers we want to come back and race full time.
Really good news for Trevor Bayne and Ryan Truex
Damn, didn’t expect this to happen for Sammy Smith! Wonder who’ll the drivers be now that the JGR Xfinity cars are open for next year? As for the Wonder Bread and Old Spice schemes, I really love them! Also love that video with Preece N Chase!
@SnooperTheSuperYou did not pay attention to the video When Eric showed Bob’s tweet So delete your comment for being uneducated
Only thing missing now is a Jean Girard inspired 55 Perrier car. Then Preece and whomever drives the Perrier car have the awesome blowover wreck, and the run to the finish line. Now that would be epic.
Chase Briscoe & Ryan Preece are The Drivers we have to root for this weekend
Brandon jones and Sammy smith are reunited once again. I like this move. I feel like it was a big win for JRM.
I think something to consider with the Sammy Smith to JRM deal is that Pilot/Flying J might have been the bigger push on the move. They could be latched onto Smith and feel he was not getting what they think he deserved at JGR and felt that JRM would provide more for the money looking at all the years they were with the team on Annette’s car. Might not be the case but something to think about the move after you brought up how the Chevy pipeline is pretty well full at the moment.
Also a small detail that was in the announcement graphic was the 8 leaning forward again like it used to for JR instead of back like for Berry
JRM getting Sammy Smith and a return of Pilot J as a sponsorship.
I think this move is perfect.
Great job by JRM getting Sammy!
