josh richards - all i'm going to do this year is win

[Racer63]

Richards is wide open all the time. If you watch the vid. He did hit the inside burn of the track. Its racing. He said he races hard everylap and it shows. Its always different when your behind the wheel trying to win!


That's a joke. Anybody can drive wide open all the time and run over people. I hear this all the time about crate racing. You got to stay in it blah blah blah. It's all disrespect for fellow racers period. Whether it's Richards doing it in a SL or some other jack off I have to race against in a crate doing the same thing.

I can't wait til somebody puts Richards over the wall and destroys his equipment he drives like a idiot

[J20in1st]

gotta be a fan of racing and not a driver. No driver wishes for any destroyed equipment.


Just because Richards has a bigger set of brass and holds it open?

You do got to stay in it in a crate on a big 1/2 mile, you run a smaller track then you don't. It's alot easier to make it up on a smaller track than a big one.

Not cool Mr. Richards, Not cool. When your cars been tight for the last 10 laps and you banzai the corner and plow the leader knowing you wouldn't get the car to turn, Not Cool!!! What comes around goes around, maybe the numbness and tingling moved to his head.

[cgrace]

easy to run wide open when u got plenty of back up cars and ur dad pays bills he hits more cars more often than he doesnt when passin

[Nasty55]

Agree! Too many keyboard drivers stating their opinion on here. Josh admitted he hit the berm and it shot him into Casey. Mistake....definitely! On purpose....No way! Im sure Josh will talk to Casey and get it straightened out. Should Casey repay the favor....absolutely, as long as he doesn't take him out! That's RACIN!

I like your post and agree drtrkr! Hopefully it doesn't carry over to tonight.

Regardless who gets in my way

I wasn't there, so I can't really pass judgement on the incident, but if Richards took him out, it sucks for Roberts. The thing is, retribution for this kind of stuff is always lame. Two wrongs don't make a right.

One thing to consider with Richards, though, is that he has to knock a pretty significant amount of racing rust off before the comfort level is back to where it was in 2013.

this has nothing to do with " knocking the racing rust off", Richards CLEARLY slammed Roberts to take the lead back. "The thing is, retribution for this kind of stuff is always lame. Two wrongs don't make a right. " - thats crazy talk, retaliation is part of racing as fighting is to hockey. A good taste of ones own medicine is sometimes needed and warranted, some have to learn lessons the hard way.

Where's Terry Casey?

It's definitely different when daddy supplies all the chassis , parts, and engines gratis. You can drive WFO without fear of digging a financial hole that would cripple many teams, including Casey Roberts, the guy Josh door slammed to win. No one doubts Josh's talent. It's the utter lack of disregard for those around him that earns Josh the negative vibes from many. Richards would bankrupt most teams within a year with his driving style.

That and Roberts can't afford to get into a back and forth wreck fest with Josh, because Mark's war chest is exponentially larger than the husband and wife that own Casey's car. That being said, if Richards gets dumped by Roberts, he deserves it 100%. That was a pass even Jared Landers would wince at...

There's a huge difference between hockey fights and car racing wreck wars. A concussion or a broken jaw is pretty much the worst case scenario in a hockey fight. The worst case scenario in a racing wreck war is an accident resulting in serious injury or death.

The whole racing retribution thing is largely a southern phenomenon, that sh*t doesn't happen everywhere else. As in hockey, fighting is really a North American phenomenon, it doesn't really happen anywhere else either.

And as far as knocking racing rust off, you don't really get it. You get out of a race car long enough, your reflexes and feel for the car erode. It's going to take anybody a while to get that knack back.
