Roger Sellers/Hudson O’Neal

You are 100% correct. Hudson’s current gig was/is intended for him to keep racing and be in the eyes of potential owners while looking for a full time opportunity. He presently has 1 car, 1 engine and a small enclosed trailer and is doing very well with what he has. I think it speaks highly of him and his girlfriends parents to do what they are doing together. On the other hand: Double Down Motorsports (Roger Sellers) has the resources : first class shop, full time crew, a very large rotor home rig-( Clint Boyers rig that Don ONeil used & is a twin to the one Josh Richards team has).

Plus- Roger will not lie to Hudson like SSI Motorsports did! In my neck of the woods (East Tennessee) Roger is a very well respected/honest family man.
Heck- we may be getting the cart before the horse on this pairing for now-but indications are leading in that direction.

Buckingham already hinted that it was going to be Hudson. The only way this doesn't happen is if Hudson turns down the offer.

I forget, who else races for Roger Sellers?

[Dlmfan123]

Roger had just gotten a brand new rig mid season last year. As of about mid april Clint still had both rigs

[foxfire2dirtracing]

His son-in-law Robby Moses. Robby only races part time local shows (sometimes ventures out) because he has a very good job in Oak Ridge at the nucleur weapons plant. He can’t travel because of his work. He and his wife Casey have a young son & Casey is the general manager for Smoky Mountain Speedway that Roger owns. Don’t mean to sound like a broken record- but these are all “good people.”

Yes Roger picked up a new rig last year on the way home from the show-me (that didn’t happen because of the tornado). Clint’s old hauler has been at Rogers shop for awhile now.
Also: Roger owns a drag racing team. He was involved with straight line racing before his involvement with dirt racing. Glad we have team/track owners like him in this sport!

Hey fox can we get some clarity on SSI lying to Hudson? I heard it was due to him being lazy

[foxfire2dirtracing]

What was released to the press (for what that’s with) was SSI was getting out. Then they got back in with Ricky Thornton Jr. this year and are supposedly trying to develop their own Chasis.
I have no dog in that fight- but if there was some type of problem with Hudson they should have said they were just parting ways.
Just my thoughts & they are not worth 2 cents!

They said they were his team for life.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

And yes I do understand people have the rights to change their minds/regroup/ reconsider.
Maybe SSI missed the racing after letting Hudfy go??

[NeedforLMspeed]

Similar to Best. Said they were cutting back to regional racing, Richards leaves for Boywer and then back on a national tour with Terbo not long after.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

To be fair, SSI has been part time ever since.

SSI's part time this year was better than the full time with Hudson. Results talk BS walks.....

[foxfire2dirtracing]

I don’t disagree with you guys.

By what metric?
