#32?

[Mr.Right]

I see on the Bristol entry list Jack Roush is listed as the owner for Ken Schrader's #32 Ford...are they using the #6 owners' points or something?

Yes, they are using the 6 points.

They sold their points to Michael Waltrip for the 55 car. They had Terry Labonte at Daytona and a provisional. They started using the 6 points at Phoenix.

Hmmmmm, how does all this effect Stoddard as an owner in the OWNERS POINTS STANDINGS? The car has been in all 3 races yet the NASCAR OWNER STANDINGS show Stoddard (and the number 32) with being in 39th place with only one start and only 27 points.....I'm confused

He gets credit for the 6's Daytona finish and then the 32 from there on. They are currently 25th in owner points. (listed as Jack Roush / #32)

Thanks for the info.
I wasn't sure if that was a typo or not...at least the #32 actually 'races' (or runs the entire race) so i'd rather see them in the show than some of the season-long start and parkers.

Thanks from me, too. No wonder I was confused! Additionally, the car is usually at least as competitive as the other 2nd tier Ford teams, especially when Bliss drives it. I wish Stoddard would either put Bliss in it all the time or get a young guy and build the team with him. I'm sure sponsorship enters the picture but I'm wishing here.

Yeah, I think a lot of it is sponsor driven. Ken Schrader is on board for a number of races this year, and he has sponsorship from Federated Auto Parts for those races. Likely that Kenny brought the sponsor, so he gets to drive.

I agree about Mike Bliss, he seems to be one of the more underrated drivers out there. He always over-performs when put in a typically back of the pack ride.
