      It popped because he went with a softer tire to get back in the race. Same as Bloomer. Tire choice is a huge part of the game. Richards got it right. The 0 and 39 didn't.

        39 was out of the race cause of a popped tire to begin with. Are you saying Richards ran a 1425 lr tire?

            Josh, brought his dad's work ethic to Best and you could see the difference from last year with B Shep. That and a second year book on the tracks. Josh spanked them, took their lunch money and set them in the corner, facing the wall. Next year may be a different story.

            Some want to say the other two had bad luck with flats. Hint, it's easier to mange tires if your set up is right on. It's easy to be off just a little and lean on one of them tires.

              B Shep said no one got it right.

                Bad luck prob had more to do with it than tire choice or leaning on them too hard...dont read into things so much...

                  Congrats to Josh and Rocket

                  All the haters can suck it, quite hilarious. Both championships, and Josh with a new team. And Josh is very well spoken and mannered. Him and Brandon, well done.

                  Shame is I had no issue with any of the top 3 in points winning.
                  Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                    Flat tires and Durham power had nothing to do with his championship season. It all came down to 4dnfs by the zero car. Had he not had the vapor lock issues it’s curtains. That’s racing and congratulations to Richards! He got the job done

                      Centeroff.... what about the bad nights other guys had? What about the team preparation? Winning a championship takes a lot more than running good and winning occasionally. It takes a plan that includes logistics, preparation, maintainance, race strategy, great equipment, great crew and a great driver. The guy that won the championship was better in those categories than your guy. So if you think your guy is the better driver and he may be but you can't win championship the way your guy operates today.

                        Mccreadie must have just ran over something with the first flat and the second flag was because just how hard he was pushing it. Everyone had the same tires on besides Overton and Marlar

                          Bad luck? Everybody has "bad luck" throughout the year including Josh. I'm tired of all of this "Well, if TMAC didn't get a flat" or "If Bloomquist didn't do this or that" They raced 50-60 races this year and Kid Rocket and the entire team was the most consistent hands down.... Congrats to Eric and Kelly Brock, Josh and Andrea Richards, Randal Edwards, Rocket Chassis and the entire BPM's team on a stellar year. Kind of anxious to see who will be in the BPM's car next season.

                            Congrats to Josh and crew. Can't believe people thought he couldn't win on the lucas tour.

                              For the life of me I don't understand why Lucas won't add 1325 to the 3 other corner options. 1300-1425 is too much of a gap

                                Had Josh not lost a tire at Knoxville late in the race after leading most of it we wouldn't even be talking about the points chase anyway. Everyone has bad luck. Get over it.
