Richards - Madden

[Kryptonite17]

May have been a racing deal but definitely one that didn’t need to happen. I could care less about either driver but Madden seems to be on the giving end of these a lot more often than the receiving end. That early in the race there’s no need to dump someone because they barely put a right rear fender in your line. Pedal it and drive back by him the next corner.

The track was all dirty and trash covered above where Madden was running. He can't just swerve or stop on a dime. How many here have strapped into one of these hot rods? It was a racing deal.

[Bradley]

I don't like either one of them at all, but basically I call it a hard racing deal. Both have some fault in what happened, Josh drifted up a little more then he should have, and Madden could have lifted to give more room but chose not to. Madden held his line though.

I thought it was a racing deal BUT I will say that if roles are reversed Madden is motioning his car torwards Richards, flipping him off, and whining about it.

[One Man Gang]

Not a fan of either one but looked to me like Madden dumped Josh but most likely just Madden being balls to the wall hard racing as usual but from my 30/40 vision looked like a dump to me.

[TBSprintFan]

Not a fan of either but from the video it looks like a racing deal.

[golddirt]

Not a fan of either myself but will give patch the whiners award, but it was just a racing deal.

Truth

Or ask Chris Ferguson about Casey Roberts. I could give a hundred other examples. See how this works?

Casey is about as clean as they come, Josh however is known for chopping and generally just getting in the way as a driving style/strategy. No I don't like him, I freely admit that.

@ others, Its tight off turn 2 at Cherokee, so to suggest he could've just steered around him is a not realistic. That situation happens routinely at Cherokee in all divisions. As to letting off, at that point he would've risked getting drilled by the pack, so why should he risk his night to save Josh? It was tight quarters racing and whether on purpose or as the result of a character flaw, Josh moved up just enough to get clipped and took a turn in the spin cycle. As to Madden always whinning, I'd say after some of the shows I saw last year on the tour between Madden and the NASA housecar, he has cause for grievance against some. Personally my theory is its a Mark Richards school of driving issue and what he expects from his drivers as to why those guys do what they do on track in regards to others. If your in a NASA special you get raced differently than if you are in a different brand, up to a point... Madden threatens their WoO title domination and no opportunity to deny points is to be overlooked. I realize Josh isn't on WoO tour, but Daddy's car is.

Very spot on.

Polish that tin foil hat.

Longhorn doesn’t have access to the same stuff Rocket does, or Sweet Bloomquist, or BD? They do, you just choose to show the extreme bias you always have simply because Mark is at the top and a jerk. BShepp is not dirty. Richards expects what every car owner expects, you to win. Josh can absolutely be dirty, I agree. But I don’t put that on anyone but Josh. He holds the wheel. The Madden one I do agree was a racing thing. I was just implying neither gave each other a break whatsoever. But for Madden to take evasive action there for Josh getting in his line woulda been darn risky.

That car is no more special than the one Scott drives when he drives, Timmy’s car, or Earl’s. If it is in any way, good for them. Work you butt off and reap the rewards. Shouldn’t matter whether you like them or not.

2 dirty drivers getting into it... no lol. Madden definitely never let off the loud pedal

[zyoung25]

Madden seen a chance to dump rockets golden child 2.0, and straight dumped Josh. You put his buddy Clanton there, he's lifting.

That is pretty much spot on! Him and Moyer whine more than anybody else but Moyer wouldn’t pull the antics like Madden does.

[bullring]

I’d call it a racing deal
I’m just wondering when WOO will announce Bailes had doctored tires. They don’t like paying winners purse to non regulars.

[Thedoctor]

A preventable racing deal. Richards drifted up slightly and Madden could of and would expect any else to lift for him doing the same.
