    Josh Richards struggles...

    Why is he so inconsistent? He’s been driving rockets for years and has the backing from Clint Bowyer.

      I wouldn't hit the panic button on a new season after 2 events.
      2021 race count

          So true. That can be said about most guy's out there. With times so close, it doesn't take much to go from front row to 3rd row. Again, the cars being so even, get behind the 8 ball, and your chances of winning drop dramatically. Nowadays it's all about qualifying.

              i like clint, with that being said when has his team ever over performed or really even matched the equipment theyve had? 2014 is the only year everything went like it should. Im not sure if its the structure or crews or what but the actual results hardly ever match what they should look like on paper. No way should the best ride be consistently better than cbr

                Hell I went to a late model race like ten years ago and Bowyer got whooped by non other than the extremely talented Austin Dillon

                  riddle28, I think Randall is the reason. One of the, if not the best guy to have in your corner.

                        Austin came to West Virginia Motor Speedway once in a late model. He got around that place good, about as fast as anyone I've ever seen there. I think he was quick time that night and ended up breaking in the feature.

                          Pretty sure Austin holds the SLM track record at Boyd's Speedway. The place is normally slick, but that night it was hooked up and he broke the record.

                            That is absolutely the case!!! Josh wound up trying so hard to make up for his time trials, that he over drove the car and backed up even more. Happens to the best of them sometimes. Qualify or you might be on stand by.

                              He should be a threat every time out regardless of his crew chief considering the access he has and funds. He also should know Rocket cars better than anyone else considering the history. He just doesn’t seem to have the fire as in years past.
