In 2017 Josh Richards faced stiffer competition than Rocket house car in 2022

Josh had to beat Bloomquist, McCreadie, Davenport and Owens.

Apparently Wedge has some sort of crush on Josh Richards, so I'll just pose an honest question that hopefully makes this thread somewhat useful... You own a DLM team with great equipment and are wanting to travel nationally. You can hire one driver from a group of Hudson O'Neal, Brandon Sheppard, or Josh Richards. Which driver do you hire?

Evidently Handsome Hudson O'Neil is the correct answer because Mark Richards hired him instead of his own flesh and blood from his own loins ? ?

Replace Bloomer with Overton and the Rocket house had just as much competition to race against.

To be clear, I'm referring to the Lucas Oil points chase.

Maybe josh richards didn’t want to go back to the house car? He left on his own to begin with. Mark didn’t kick him out

That's because Josh doesn't have the work ethic required to run up front any longer. Ask any driver on tour what it takes to chase a championship. He wants to show up with his helmet bag, and it's a shame because I think he could still be a threat. He's chosen what road he wants to follow, when the rides dry up he will be forgotten about just like many others and will find his life's work. Josh was raised at the house rocket built and I'm sure it will be painful when Mark decides to walk away from it all that it won't be passed on.

No bet from me. A guaranteed job, not starting at the bottom.

Did josh ever run Lucas points in the rocket house car? I knew he did in the Best car, but I thought team rocket stayed WOO, and that was one of the reasons josh stepped away, was to run a different tour.
