a shift in strategy

well shepard racing is officially the first to pull the trigger to go low by starting jason white (who?...exactly). however, a 33rd place finish is not what he was expecting...still earning him 11 points (a decision has been made to award owner's points, not sprint cup points for ineligible drivers).

it makes things very interesting at the bottom. graziano racing is ineligible to go low due to his DQ, so right now, shepard is looking to lock in $250 on last place AND trying to pick up some 43rds on the way for another $50 AND can still win the 35 action as well....you never know. good luck to shepard, despite his liking of those boston blow sox...
