Matt Cosner

[TerryM]

I hope he whips RTJ’s ass in the pits. That was a $5000 takeout.

[drich24]

Cosner’s pass attempt was pretty legit. RTJ had no chance to make the pass and just drove Cosner up the track and trashed him. Basically used Cosner to turn his own car.

[dirtSLMracing]

RTJ missed the previous corner that allowed Cosner to get a run then chopped him off in 3. RTJ then flat wrecked Cosner.

Just curious.. why does James Essex call Josh Richards rocketman?

[TBSprintFan]

Totally agree with the above posts. RTJ wrecked him and should have his a$$ whipped.

I am not joking.

His 2021 shirts have Kid Rocket on them. I have not seen anything on his stuff saying Rocket Man. Must be very recent.

Anybody that thinks Cosner didn't deserve getting stuffed doesn't understand racing pay back. Cosner deserved everything he got.

[dirtSLMracing]

I may have a bad connection but it sounds like they are broadcasting this race from a helicopter.

It’s not. They’ve been saying it for years.

Cosner made a racing pass. I’m not even sure there was contact. What RTJ did was totally uncalled for. If I was Cosner, I’d gladly be spending the night in jail, in exchange for whipping RTJ’s ass.

[0_VodooChild_0]

Cosner never even tried to clear RTJ. Door slammed the crap outta RTJ. What Cosner got in 1-2, was fully deserved.

It sounded like that here before it went out. Audio is back now.

So why does his 2021 shirts say Kid Rocket?

This all starting from a Bobby pierce fan is fuxking hilarious

[JimBo]

RTJ got p1ssed when Costner passed him and chased him down and doored him on purpose.

[0_VodooChild_0]

But Cosner didn't door RTJ on purpose???? What are you smoking???? I want some.

[Pennsboro32]

A throwback slogan I’d assume.

Lay down the crack pipe. You’re apparently imagining something no one else saw lol.

[0_VodooChild_0]

Did you see the left side door of the 20RT??? Brand new body all caved in by that non driving idiot, Cosner. Did you parents have any kids that lived, TerryM,moron????

[WisWildManFan]

Cosner door slammed him in 3/4 and rtj hit him harder back.

They just showed a close up of RTJ’s car. There’s not even a scratch on it lol.

Is 2013 recent? Someone has been under a rock the last few years. Call Jamie at impact of you want to know the real reason why Josh still has kid rocket on his shirts. Anybody that pays attention knows he has been called rocketman for several years now.

[Dlmfan123]

His wife says she doesn't like the rocket man nickname, so she keeps putting kid rocket on the shirts

[dirtcrazy4u]

Hummmm, rocketman, anyone ever hear of the song titled rocketman ? Whatever it is it may be all about using that title.

[Josh Bayko]

Eshelman has been calling Richards Rocketman for 5 or 6 years now. My guess is that’s why Essex calls him that.

[Jking24]

Corner hesitated after getting a good run then attempted a slider. He hit rtj in the lf wheel with his right door. Hard enough to cave his right door in. Rtj just repaid the favor. I know Matt cosner he is not the type to tear up anybodys stuff. You can't really throw sliders in the tracks we come from so I'm gonna chock it up to a rookie mistake on cosners part. That being said rtj didn't do anything uncalled for

My thoughts exactly…….

[Barbecueboy]

Cosner door slammed him in 3/4 and rtj hit him harder back.

You must be another one of us nobody’s……..I saw the same race you did and it looked pretty clear.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

My group just calls him Elton.

Burning out his fuse up here alone………great album all the way through.

Cosner at least tried to make a pass after getting cut off. Didn't end up being clean, but definitely did not warrant what RTJ did to him. Thornton had two laps to try to actually make a pass but decided to just wreck the guy, he did Cosner a lot worse than what Cosner did to Thornton. Thornton got a taste of his own medicine but of course that didn't sit well with him. Thornton is a guy that can squeeze every ounce of speed out of anything with wheels but there's a reason he's had two crew chiefs quit on him in the last three months. The guy is a bit of a nutcase.What two crew chiefs has RTJ been through? Center has been through more teams and driver than I can count so you can’t put that on RTJ. Who’s the other?

[0_VodooChild_0]

Exactly!!! TC left to join Heckanest. Who is the other that left???

[zyoung25]

TC is on here. I believe he can tell you why he left. I dont think it's for the same reasons some of you are implying.

Exactly. No one is saying Cosner didn’t make contact with RTJ. That was just a racing deal. I still haven’t seen a scratch on Thornton’s car though, and it obviously didn’t slow him down. But what RTJ did to Cosner was dirty as hell. He wasn’t just trying to pass him. He was trying to end his night.

[0_VodooChild_0]

Literally 5 seconds before Cosner slammed RTJ....NOTE: STRAIGHT BODY PANEL, DRIVER DOOR IS STRAIGHT

[0_VodooChild_0]

After contact from Cosner

[XRNone]

Can't remember the name but I believe he used to race a modified. He lasted about a week as Thornton's interim after TC left from what I heard, and now Thornton has the guy that used to CC for Jason Wolla in IMCA mods. There was one or two other crew guys that left when TC left too. As I recall the only other team that TC parted ways with was Dunn Benson, and that may have been when Pearson left as well. Otherwise TC used to CC for Hudson but Hudson and SSI parted ways and TC remained on the team during all that if I recall.So you can’t recall the guy that didn’t make it with RTJ, Can only recall one other Team Center has worked for…. But you know RTJ is the problem…. Brilliant

[0_VodooChild_0]

When the 2021 season began in Az for the SSI team, there were Nick Carpenter, Jaxon Saatoff, Tyler Bragg, Jesse ???? & maybe one more. As far as I know, Nick is now back home in Missouri after leaving when TC did & he did do some time with the 99JR of Heckanest where TC is now. Jaxon is back home in Nebraska racing & working for JET motorsports for his dad, Tyler is the current crew chief for RTJ & I believe Jesse is still there as well. Jake Steffen has joined SSI as a crew member after leaving Jason Wolla Racing in North Dakota.

If you can’t see the damage Cosner caused the door on the 20rt you’re blind as a bat

hes a man with a beard, its time to drop kid. does little billy still go by kid smooth?

[TerryM]

Those images don’t work for me, but I’ll take your word for it. But the images on live TV showed zero damage and, as I said before, it obviously didn’t slow RTJ down. On the other hand, his POS move ended Cosner’s night — and cost him at least $5000, and probably more.
