Ricky Thornton Jr., Hudson O’Neal Speak For First Time After Big Moves 

That is awesome.

Sheppard is a great guy, one of the best.

What's worse cheating or cussing? Stealing hundreds of thousands or cussing. I'm not saying Thorton cheated but we all know of many televangelist who never cussed without buying the tape or pay for the non disclosure of something worse. Is cussing really a issue?

@@KimiWallruswhat?

I'd say cussing not only is it disrespectful it shows a lack of vocabulary. Cheating is only wrong when you get caught bout like stealing remember only the ones that get caught are sorry the ones that don't o well they just live with it.

@@Horseman7621 or lose their ride and nobody understands why

@@ChrisS-oo6fl Is cussing or crashing or cheating worse, which would you want your 18 year old son or daughter to do in racing?

How carefully he was having to pick and choose everything he said tells you alot about the situation

Doink

Yeah that was painful to watch how careful he was having to be in order to not say the wrong thing and slip up and incriminate himself

Why would they start a second team with a different chassis if they intend to keep the first. Will you feel the same about RTJ when Owens gets his walking papers.

I hate to say it bcos i like Jimmy Owens but I agree 💯 with you. ​@CM-ve1bz

He was flying until it came time to pass the leaders

@@CM-ve1bzya because he’s never passed or out ran any of them before? What a stupid comment lol.

Won plenty in the rocket car. Ricky wasn't running his own team either

But he did win 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah an you know what Thornton is now part of the team with jimmy Owens so they are a two car operation now I don’t see what’s the big deal about it why he couldn’t be Hudson O’Neal’s teammate sounds like to me Ricky Thornton couldn’t work well with Hudson and that’s why all this drama happened this week and I’m not really a fan of Thornton but Ricky got screwed from winning the title on count of the nascar points ordeal that needs to stay outta dirt late model racing period cause Ricky owned an won the season last year and he been leading the points an current points leader this season again and loses his top ride and with ssi an now with another team an has to over come adversity again an the odds to get back on top to me the owner did Thornton wrong an wanted huddy back badly so really Ricky got screwed out of the whole deal but then again Ricky did this to himself an probably showed his tail I’m sure an couldn’t just took the owner at ssi an went with it with Hudson I’m not a Ricky person or fan of the guy but he’s been in the hot seat both times with drama an conversty so that leaves me with this my guys an drivers are my main driver is Jonathan Davenport and my second driver is McDowell then Owens an Tmac who I like an the young man Devin Moran who’s been hot the last two races

So if hudson says the burns are like second parents, then if I was ricky I'd assume they were giving hudson info all along so why now the big deal

Kind of comes down to, who the owner wants in the car.

Thorton and Ownes probably can communicate but driving different cars. Owens in a Rocket and Thorton in a Longhorn.

If I own the team and paying his bills, he will share whatever I tell him to share or he is history. Oh wait

Will you feel the same about RTJ when Owens gets his walking papers

Wait till the rest comes to surface to see how Ya feel about the other.✌️

@@joshpitts7256 i never said i was a fan of either, just dont like the way hudson handles himself. Still waiting on the rest of the truth to the rocket 1 split 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great point

Ikr

Yes said he left a few days ago

Considering he mentioned him in his post race interview like he was still there I’m assuming that was something he wasn’t supposed too say yet and he agreed to stay on for this stretch or something lol

Ricky Thornton was racing cars when O’Neal was in grade school. I would say O’Neal is way ahead of the learning curve

@@scottsherrard that’s what I been saying there was a reason to the firing of Ricky outta that ride

Depends on the situation.. But this deal is bad blood now imo.. Don't matter what actaully happen when you take a ride away from the best driver that may sting ya in the butt imo cant wait to see how the 1st few races go here hope Ricky spanks his azz

Will you feel the same about RTJ when Owens gets his walking papers

@CM-ve1bz Did Koehler fire Jimmy Owens before bringing in RTJ or is he still there? Even if Owens gets let go at the end of the season, the situations aren't similar at all...

@@mikewoodworth8519 Owens has a ride, RTJ comes in and takes the money needed for that ride, so Owens is let go. What’s the difference other than your belief RTJ can do no wrong

@CM-ve1bz You don't know me or my "beliefs" first off so get real, youtube stranger 🤣 And you watched them take all the money out of Owen's ride and put it in the other car in a span of 2 days? Interesting.

@@mikewoodworth8519 They aren’t going to run two cars with different chassis for very long. Ray Charles can see what’s coming? RTJ is in the process of taking somebody else’s ride. Will you feel the same about him as O’Neal.

In order to talk your lips need to move buddy.

You all need to listen to Kenny Wallace podcast with Mark Richard's owner of Rocket chassis podcast last one hour 35 mins Mark explains his cost of a year for racing his sponsorships how he picks a driver cost of a car, motors drivers and crew costs very informative everyone will see super late model racing is way to expensive I am surprised there are this many teams still running, when sponsorships dry up you will see these cars go away I helped a guy back in 2012 to 2017 era a warrior complete car without motor, Trans was $30,000 dollars or any shocks. You wander why there are now super late left in the this country hardly . You can not justify the cost for the winning. Good motors sre $60,000 and up alone.

He didn’t say when he got the call or disclose what was initially discussed. You do t know any information concerning the dynamics or conversions between any of the parties involved. Just speculation from an extreme outsiders and novice perspective.

@@michaelolenick4078 that's the joke...

@@michaelpauley125 he still may do that after this season an go sprint car racing for the future

Will you wish the same bad luck for RTJ when Owens gets his walking papers

@@Huntinglife41 that’s the business side of racing now you know how it works
