Believe that means he hasn't a clue.

[Josh Bayko]

.....................What?

I believe he’s trying to say that Eckert will be in his own ride running regionally instead of the Wo0.

Rick owns the truck and trailer the shop and the large majority of the equipment. But the cars wheels and motors were all owned by crowl.i was told he was talking with a few different people but nothing had been solidified yet. But that was a few weeks ago. If Rick could partner with someone that could get him a crew cheif he could win some races it's too hard now days to make all the calls from the seat.

He still has backing from Drydene. I would think he would still try the outlaws if he can take together another sponsor or two.

How about getting into the Barry Wright house car ride?

[Tireguy17]

Rick couldn't win in the Rocket House car X years ago. Always been a fan of Scrub but there are better options than him for a WoO ride.

[GEAR_HEAD]

He'd be better off running regionally like Chub and Boom did this year.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Those were the only two races he won this year. Regional.

I personally think that Rick & Barry would be an awesome match, but I saw somewhere a guy named "Hardy" was the new BWRC wheelman, but I don't have confirmation.

So if you don't win in Rocket's you just aren't any good? Bollocks.

I don't think think Kyle Hardy is in the house car

1.) Kyle Hardy is not in the house car.

2.) If you can't win in Rocket1, you probably won't win in much else either.

[BTExpress]

Scrub is still way too young to retire, but it takes a ton of cash to run a National series. Hopefully he can put something together and run regionally and maybe hit a few of the bigger races or at least hit the Ultimate Northeast races. Still one of my all time favorite drivers!

Your right he is not. He is getting support from bwrc.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Must be rocket car #5000 didn't have any "magic" in it.

1.) Kyle Hardy is not in the house car.2.) If you can't win in Rocket1, you probably won't win in much else either.

I don't think these are fair assessments.1. Rick did win in rocket1 2 he only drove it for the later part of one season even when sheppard got in it it took a little while for mark to figure out what he needed

[HoosierDirtFan]

Hope he finds a ride for next year. Rick's a good dude and great to talk to after the races. It would odd not seeing him on tour after all these years of racing. He's been around for a long time like some others have (Bloomquist, Lanigan, O'Neal, Eckert, Mars). Rick's one of them guys I've always rooted for.

[MI Dirt Fan]

I thought Eckert was in it for a full season.
