I thought this was interesting. Go get 'em Pete!!CONCORD, N.C. -- As Roush Fenway Racing makes plans for the 2008 Craftsman Truck Series, the team has decided to showcase some of its young driving talent in several upcoming Craftsman Truck Series races. The No. 50 truck will serve as the test truck, with a few different drivers slated to make starts for the remainder of the 2007 season."We have a talented pool of young drivers at Roush Fenway Racing," team owner Jack Roush said. "Peter Shepherd and Danny O'Quinn have been impressive, and T.J. Bell has shown great promise as well. We're going to give these guys an opportunity to show what they can do, and we'll make a decision as far as who we're going to put in our trucks for 2008 based off of that."Shepherd made his first start of the 2007 season at Milwaukee last week, and is scheduled to race the No. 50 at Memphis Motorsports Park this weekend and Kentucky Speedway next month. O'Quinn will make the first Craftsman Truck Series start of his career at O'Reilly Raceway Park in July. Bell will return to the seat of the No. 50 truck at Nashville, with additional races later in the season.The complete schedule of drivers and their races will be released at a later date.

Pete needs to be racing (anything) to get better. Sitting on the sidelines is going to hurt any young driver. He's competing against experience. Some of his results don't show how well he has raced at times. You're not comparing the #6 truck results to that of Mark Martin are you? Hardly a fair comparison.
I just think Pete needs to be racing something.
