(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) dude, you wasnt messing around about posting it on here as soon as it made public 😂
I posted about it at 8:20 so you late!
Richard’s must be too hard to work for and the pay must be low. Crazy news. For selfish reasons I guess I’d love to see Kid Rocket back in the car. A great driver I’d like to see more of (even just a few races a year )
Huddys dingaling was on the loose ..lol
That was part of the initial rumors I heard, but now they're saying that part wasn't true.Quote:

Everyone who's driven that car has done well. And as much as the majority of you hate it the common denominator is still their and they will continue to perform wellQuote:

Are we going to read next. O'Neal back to the Longhorn Chassis
Wow, what a surprise of course.
This is a very true statement. The greats were ego maniac, driven, hard a$$es.Quote:

A lot of people have a hard time taking direction. Everybody wants to be a leader but there are very few people capable of being one, this leads to frustration among people who can’t take structure, criticism etc.
This isn’t a shot at Hudson or Brandon. And I could totally be wrong about Mark. It’s main directed toward people on social media that have no clue about any of it, just hearsay.
Be interesting to see. I remember when he went to drive for Roger they sold their longhorn stuff because Hudson liked the Rocket cars better.Quote:

For all of you that never had a successful business you won't understand any of the above. For those that did, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Try talking to mark after the races and he is done with business he will stop and talk. If it's during his business time and it's not related to business, he won't be trying to be friendly.
i doubt this has to do with racing performance or Richards being too tough to work for. I have no idea what it is, but it has to be something drama driven. So see if we find out. Maybe or maybe not
You’re right but the people on social media are blaming it on that.Quote:

The timing suggest more than a difference in goals for future. If it was that kind of thing it would've taken place in the off season, not after returning from speed weeks at the beginning of a new year. Nope, something happened but only those closest know for sure the details. I've known many successful business owners who weren't tyrants and didn't make everyone hate them on a daily basis. I've also worked for men who thought because they were paying you that they could treat you and talk to you anyway they saw fit. Sure everybody has an off day and yes, "Time is Money", but there is a balance that can be struck with effort. I don't know Mark personally, I've never met him, but the company I use to work for had dealings with him and from that I decided to go a different way. I don't wish him any ill will and I hope things improve for everyone involved and that wisdom is gained. How many wins did Rocket1 have in GA/FL this year?
Well said Henry…..
