richards out at CBR

[riddle28]

per DoD, not surprising

[TS FAN]

Yep, no surprise. Wonder who gets the ride and where Josh goes?

I have heard from a couple of reliable sources that Bowyer was selling out after this season. However, if he doesn't, I would say that whoever takes that ride is someone that is not wanting to advance their career. Josh was mid pack on a good night driving the CBR cars and we all know he hasn't forgotten how to drive a race car. He proved that when he took a back up car of a mid pack World of Outlaws driver and contended for the win both nights in Las Vegas last weekend while the primary driver was, once again, mid pack. I have also heard that Josh may hang up his helmet and go to work for Eibach, or another spring company working on set ups. I would love to see him get a ride for a contending team and see him back running up front and for the win on a consistent basis. Either way, good luck to both parties on their future endeavors.

I'd like to see Rocket add a second car to the team.

Probably miss the set up on the cattle too.....

Boom Briggs should step out of the seat and let Josh drive it on WoO tour.

The long awaiting and least surprising news of the silly season. Best of luck to Josh Richards going forward.

If CBR does stay open and they name a new driver, best of luck to that individual - you'll need it.

Yes, or run as a second car.

[Kyle7117]

Josh lives about a mile down the road. I’ll go down after dinner and ask him

Seminole I would think Richards and Sheppard should be on close to the same stuff. I can't figure out why he struggled so much. I didn't watch enough to say if he had a lot of parts failures or what. I think he can drive as well as anyone on tour so I don't know what happened with them.

When Josh shows up with a helmet, who knows what he's on? Just because the cars have similar parts on them, it means little when 3 clicks on a rr shock can cost you .3 seconds.

Not happening, per Mark Richards lol

People have been failing to see whats wrong with the bowyer ride for years. Eveeybody wants to point the finger at the obvious things like the driver or crew, it goes deeper than that. Francis told everyone awhile back what the deal is when you go there to race. Clint wants you to have fun, was his exact words. So basically, like you say, you cant show up with a helmet bag and gets in the car and goes. Thats not necessarily the recipe for success.

Masterbilt _Racer that makes sense.
