      Yes. He was. It was a very cool moment. It wasn't maybe quite as compelling as when Bobby Pierce won, but it still was really cool to see.

      It was almost as cool as Rigsby falling into Mark Richards arms sobbing. During the entire post race show he managed to avoid saying Hudson O'Neal once, but mentioned Mark Richards at least 3 times and couldn't stop heaping praise on him. If there was ever a doubt that Rigsby was in the tank for Mark Richards, today proved it without a doubt. (there was never a doubt in my mind, but he always vehemently denied it) Late Model racing needs real journalists that are able to contain their bias. I'll credit him with his work creating DoD and bringing streaming Dirt Late Models into the mainstream, but him and Suave are nothing more than fan bois when it comes to covering the sport.

        In all fairness to Rigsby and Suave or any other announcer it would be very hard not to like certain drivers or owners over others. It happens in your everyday life. It's life man it happens.

            If they were not 'fan bois' there wouldn't be such a thing as Dirt on Dirt.

              Once it became obvious O’Neal was the only car that could beat Davenport, I had serious doubts that he could do it but I’m so glad I was wrong! I’d have been really PO’d if I’d have invested that much time watching the race and JD won. GREAT night of racing IMO.

                LOL No. Actually Rigsby and Richards were training her and I was sitting in the corner calling my own number.

                I can certainly understand how after 49 failed attempts at winning, it would bring tears to the eyes of the perpetual losers when they finally got lucky, but still, cry baby Rigsby gushing over his daddy while completely ignoring the driver is pathetic.

                  No luck there just hard work. I don't see nothing wrong for giving someone kudos who has done so, much for the sport.

                  Congrats to team Rocket!

                    I beg to differ, my friend. They could be fan bois of the sport and not be male cheerleaders for one chassis brand. If you have ever seen a show like DIRTRACKR on You Tube, you'd see what it was like for someone to be a huge racing fan without sickening people that would prefer objectivity.

                    I'm sure no matter who the journalist is, they have some favorites. There is a huge difference between that and what DoD does. Suave having a sticker on the Rocket 1 advertising his joke of a show would be fine, if he or the rest of the DoD staff were able to even mildly pretend they weren't in the tank. And as I said in a previous post, if you want to get Rigsby upset, put the question about his bias to him. It's hilarious how quickly he loses it.

                      So you combat someones like for something by continually showing your hate for something? I bet you're a blast at parties.

                        My point wasn't that kudos weren't deserved, it was Rigsby's crediting Richards for what Hudson did on the track and not even mentioning Hud in the post race. Weaver talked about Hud, but as soon as Rigsby got back at it, it was all the mighty Mark Richards.

                        And I'll happily congratulate Rocket for FINALLY winning the World. I'll just reserve the credit to the man that got it done...Hudson O'Neal. Same as if JD had won AGAIN, I would have given him the credit, not Longhorn.

                          I'm criticizing DoD's lack of professionalism, not who they like.

                              JD gave it to him. Had to appease the folks who say the racing sucks. Noble move. I guess.
