Understand your question, but, huddy isn't going anywhere for a long time. I'd like to see Josh get into a development car, that guy is a talented driver, maybe it would give him some incentives to get back out there.
I’d like to see bloomer be in the new black magic rocket house development program……clearly his cars have staying power….maybe a new series of cars for folks that don’t like to bend them as much? Why not? Rocket2.0
Like others have said, Hudson is going to be there a while.
But to have fun with this question, theres not currently an experienced driver ready for that position that’s already running rockets except maybe Terbo. Lots of good regional shoes that could be really good but they lack the experience traveling to different tracks (Rice, Hawkins, Zeigler). I’ve always thought the Hawkins boys could have been national touring level guys if they wanted to be.
I guess if Hudson gave up the seat today, I’d say Gregg Satterlee would be a solid choice. National touring experience, always been a rocket guy. Close to rocket head quarters. It’s not a home run pick but a solid choice.
I'd bet the majority of Longhorn jumpers would sign up tomorrow to pilot the Rocket 1.
If you’re hiring the best driver, there’s Pierce and then there’s everybody else. He may not know a lot about how to set one up but as far as getting everything he can out of the car he’s pretty much in a league of his own
rocket1 is usually a young man's ride, hypothetically i would say trey mills in a couple years. he takes care of his stuff and has consistent speed

^You joking?
If Mark wanted his sht tore up every week, he'd put his kid back in the seat! Way better level headed drivers out there that could get it done better than dirty bobby.
Mark wants young and hungry, so somebody like Cody Overton probably.
Bloomer? Not enough experience. LOL!
If I were Mark Richards, I would call Birky. All kiddin aside, I would think Huddy is going nowhere. The fit is obviously perfect there. Definitely was a special moment at the World. None involved with that weekend will ever forget it.
Naw , Tanner English would be the best fit for Rocket 1.
Max Blair, been a rocket driver as far back to his dad's driving days. Equipment is right, he will have the car up front.
Max would be the perfect driver for that ride, I was kinda surprised they didn’t go with him to begin with. Him and his dad have been loyal rocket drivers and you will never see max drive anyone dirty or over his head. Handles himself in a professional manner on and off the track.
Hudson will be in his future father in laws team next year.
Todd " The Coondog " Cooney ! !
Well…. Guess we can revisit this post now, sooner than most thought.
I can't decide if this thread aged like wine or milk. Lol
Bobby Pierce!
Max Blair, Nick Hoffman
Drake Troutman.

It would be crazy with how everything is playing out it would be Pierce. If Pierce ever got a house ride he would rewrite the record books. But I think he’s too close with his family to do that. They all depend on each other. I don’t understand why these house cars don’t give more drivers a change in them like they use to. It makes sense to have different drivers from different regions to drive said car. I never got Bshep in the Longhorn. Like really? There is a ton of even younger hot shoes to give a change. Any driver is going to win in those cars.
My guess is someone young with no wife or kids.
Sounds like Tim McCreadie.....
It's official... TMac is the new driver of the Rocket 1!
He will be the driver that punches that punchable face when he leaves….good luck to him/ them while it lasts.
^^^^What he said.^^^^^
I am really surprised to hear that Hudson left the Rocket 1 team. I was so looking forward to seeing how many races he could win in 2024 with Rocket 1. Do you all think there was too much pressure to win with the team ? I think Hudson should at least stuck out the season with Rocket 1.
Huddy can handle pressure……that ain’t it.
sometimes the 4m predicts the future just like the Simpson does...
