O'Neal wrap being done already shows that this whole deal had been in the works at SSI for awhile. They just were not professional enough to let RTJ know till last minute. Probably hoping to try and mess him up in the points and try to get Huddy up in the points. I think RTJ will adjust pretty quick. He is a wheelman for sure.

I would say it means they are tired of hearing from the bleacher queens that live to make drama. All the sponsors on the car have been long time supporters of O’Neal. I don’t see anything to indicate any sponsors of SSI. Did you ever stop to think that might be a wrap intended for O’Neals family car and they just put it on that one instead.

I hope that RTJ doesn’t affect Owens future in the long run. It would be a bummer to have him affected by a situation that he wasn’t lol even involved in directly. Great show.

@corbinjansen6510 25 күн бұрын

Owens is on his way out, I'm implying he will probably wane like Moyer Sr., Bloomer, EPJ, Chubby etc. He's still very competitive but the last few years he's mentioned just picking and choosing the races he wants. He still doing very well. I think it's a blessing, Jimmy's experience and knowledge with the unmatched skill and talent of RTJ. If done right could really help everyone involved.

@CM-ve1bz 25 күн бұрын

Jimmy Owens already has one foot out the door. I wonder if people will turn on RTJ for taking Owens job the way they have O’Neal.

@chrispeck1325 24 күн бұрын

The article I read about RTJ coming to that team said that RTJ was very adamant that his coming in, didn't affect Owens, as Owens is one of RTJ's childhood heroes. RTJ said that if him coming in messed up Owens in any way, he wasn't going to come over.

@codyb6849 25 күн бұрын

Let’s see Ricky got screwed outta the Lucas title last season and was class of the field an would have easily won the title last year if they hadn’t went to the chase garbage an then this year he was on top again winning races an had a strong cushion lead runaway an loses his ride halfway though the calendar year now Ricky gotta over come the odds an diversity again in a new ride an car I’m not a fan of his but how much one driver can get screwed each time I wish Ricky nothing but success going forward number one late model racer in the country currently I just feel for RTJ

@CM-ve1bz 25 күн бұрын

I don’t care for the one race championship either. If they’re going to do that, why even have a point system. The drivers voted on it, that’s what they wanted. That’s what they got.
