Former NASCAR team owner-driver, Robert Richardson Jr., comes onto SFM to chat with Douglas about his racing career. Robert is the former owner of the #23 Xfinity Series team, R3 Motorsports. The team was established by the Richardson family, by buying the remnants of the former Ultra Motorsports team. The team competed in the Truck Series in 2006, racing with the likes of Todd Bodine, Marcos Ambrose, Ted Musgrave, and Ron Hornaday Jr..

In 2009, R3 Motorsports picked up an amazing 7th-place finish with the #23 car at the Nationwide Series race in Montreal. The car was driven by sports-car driver, Jean-Francois Dumoulin, who busted his front bumper in the closing laps, but still finished in the top-ten. They continued racing over the next several years until 2014 when the team shut down. Robert Jr. went back to working on a farm in Texas, until 2016 when he was invited by BK Racing to drive their #26 car at the Daytona 500. Robert accepted the offer and raced for BK Racing, although he knew it would be his last start in NASCAR.
