Josh Richards departing Rocket House Car

[Barbecueboy]

I don't see that happening with the house car staying on the WoO tour

House car not staying on woo maybe?

I agree......doesn't make sense to me to have both compete with the WoO????

What more does Josh have to prove in the WoO??One would think he would want to move on to the Lucas series to see how he stacks up against running with the best in the business week in week out....

I agree with you guys. Why not run with the best? I understand Josh knows the tracks on the schedule. Maybe this way they can share info at the track.

Show me the money!........Josh wins championship, again.....Brandon finishes 2nd!

[BadlandsBandit12]

this whole thing is just stupid, haha

[rickybrown1952]

According to stlracing Brandon sheppard is going to be driving the rocket house car I'm a little surprised I thought he was going back to the family car guess not

[Krooser]

Since I missed that call from Shinnston I guess my next best hope is Roush putting me in Biffle's old seat and have me run the WoO 'Senior Tour'.... I hear Barney Oldfield is looking for a protege.

[calverton]

Roush called me but I don't drive Fords lmao

I hope you all are right. Lucas needs Richards. Without him the zero wins by over 1000. Richards kept him in check the last couple. Who is to say, that maybe longhorn or capital or BWRC don't find the speed but imo it's a 3 horse race. Zero, Richards, and maybe TMac. Us as fans deserve Richards in Lucas. The two best in our sport finally go head to head. Yep, we need to see this

O'Neal and Lanigan got it going better once they got in their Longhorn copies. But yes, Richards and bloomer head to head all year would be fantastic

Dod said Brandon was going back to the family team too......going to be fun and hope Josh does land on the Lucas series.

Because that was the "official" story.

calverton... there's always studebaker...

I said this on the Brandon thread but Im gonna spice it up...Brandon leaves Best. In the time it was announced that Brsndon left and Josh is driving, the misses found out shes with child and wants to be closer to where she grew up. Maybe not travel next year??? The opportunity arose for Josh and the misses and everybody lived happily ever after...lol

Or she's with child and they wanted to move close to her family so she would have someone close by while he is out on tour?

Think about how detrimental it would have been to the WoO for the Rocket house car to leave that series and follow LOLMDS. WoO would have Clanton as it's marquee/highest rated driver. That wouldn't sell lots of tickets.

[zach51]

dalecfan,

You'd think that would be the case, but ticket sales prove otherwise. Nobody buys a ticket to see anybody other than Bloomquist. A good race yes, but I doubt there is anybody that says "Heck if Kid Rocket ain't goin I'll just stay home".

erb jr makes it a 4 horse race.

erb jr makes it a 4 horse race.

Erb lost this season by over 1200 points to Bloomquist -- finishing 6th overall. Even T-Mac is a long shot (although if he runs like he did at the end of the season he certainly does have a chance). I don't think anyone else would have much of a chance beyond Bloomquist, Richards and T-Mac. Erb didn't even win a single LOLMDS race this season from what I remember. Its going to be hard to topple Bloomquist no matter which way you look at it. Richards is an excellent driver, equal to Bloomquist at this point at least. However it is a new team for him, and he has very little experience at some of the LOLMDS tracks. If I were a betting man my money would still probably be on Bloomquist for 2017, but either way Richards will pick up his fair share of wins.
