So, spill the beans.

What really happened with Hudson O neil, why did he leave the 1 car.

[Highside Hustler25]

It could be a variety of things. Health, family, etc. Sometimes it's not about racing.

As we continue to go through this process, we would like to state that we have Officially lined up a very Temporarily Deal for Next Weekend for our 2 Lucas Oil races at Atomic and Brownstown. Without going into details, as we feel like this is the right thing to do as a family. We understand that our roll in the industry is fan base oriented, but we do like to keep some of our life private if we can. As far as my departure from Rocket1, there are no secrets! It was just a difference in where I thought my career and life needed to be! There was nothing that took place that caused mine and Rocket1’s split other than just a difference in vision! We hope that this is going to take all of the rumors to an ease! But just know deep down it was one of the hardest decisions to make for myself moving forward. As for myself, Tessa, our family, and sponsors we are very excited for the future. We hope to see all our fans at the track next weekend. 🏁

Looking for a list: who wouldn’t want that ride?

SHEPPY and Huddy. There's 2.

i had those two. and son Josh!

something tells me there is more to this story. certainly couldn't have been about performance. and seems like a dream job for a driver hudson's age.

Literally thought Hudson would be there 10-20 years, he could have had re written the record books. Not to say he won’t still win a bunch of races but driving that car for a long period of time would have done wonders for his all time status.

McCreadie will do fine. But it does give me Eckert/Rocket1 vibes.

That both left in a hurry……just sayin.

[Barbecueboy]

Love him….this will be a failed experiment if true.

[bleedblue55]

Golden boy was there for 5 or 6 years.

[Mod Runner]

Too bad Kyle Strickler did not get his foot in the door at Rocket 1. I would think Kyle Strickler would be the perfect fit for Rocket 1 .

[Dirt Frog]

Rumor i hear he was playing hide the weenie with someone wife or girlfriend !! LOL

[Barbecueboy]

I don’t think that’s unusual there at the shinneston space program……..I’m sure it’s just a rumor.🫣

[Barbecueboy]

Golden boy was there for 5 or 6 years.

Sorry….should have said abruptly without much notice.

And even golden boy left under a cloud of mystery pretty abruptly.

Very thematic…..

[Flathead]

T-Mac went back to Rocket 1 so it must not be too bad, and he left a really good team to do it.

I’m sure all the hate on 4M over the years has really hurt the business at Rocket.

[pierceFAN]

I heard he wanted out last year and they talked him into staying

[Barbecueboy]

Seems like hate is what causes these guys to leave the best most well funded ride in the country…..I don’t think an insignificant message board has anything to do with anything there.

Again, very thematic……good luck to all involved but I think everyone knows how this will end.

[Barbecueboy]

And fwiw….longhorn success has hurt their business and will continue to do so.

When Tim Hitt left the program, before it was officially called the House Car, he got billed for bunch of stuff that he thought wasn't his responsibility to pay for. Don't know exactly how that got resolved? I had moved to NC. Wasn't on the inside circle anymore.

Divorce is rarely amicable. No matter what they say.

Since Hudson don't have anything lined up or left for different opportunities an Richard's didn't have driver lined up something had to happen. Esp doing it after season started.
