Hudson O'Neal drove his Rocket1 Racing machine to the fastest lap in Group B during the qualifying session prior to securing another heat race victory. Hudson then started the 60-lap main event from the outside of the front row, but lost a few positions on restarts to eventually land in the fifth spot behind only race winner Brandon Overton, Ricky Thornton, Jr., Tanner English, and Brandon Sheppard.

(January 27, 2023) Night two of the 'Super Bowl of Racing' was held tonight at Golden Isles Speedway and the 51 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competitors on the grounds at the Brunswick, Georgia-area facility were gunning for a $12,000 paycheck. Hudson O'Neal clicked off the second fastest lap in Group A during the qualifying session prior to securing an impressive heat race triumph. After rolling off third on the grid in the 50-lap headliner, Hudson raced hard inside of the top five for much of the contest and ultimately landed in the fifth finishing position at the checkers to trail only victor Kyle Larson, Ricky Thornton, Jr., Brandon Overton, and Earl Pearson, Jr.

(January 26, 2023) The 2023 campaign for the #1 team continued tonight in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series lid lifter at Golden Isles Speedway near Brunswick, Georgia. A total of fifty Super Late Model entrants were on the grounds at GIS to do battle for the $10,000 first place prize money in night one of the 'Super Bowl of Racing.' Hudson O'Neal earned Fast Time honors overall behind the wheel of the Rocket House Car prior to running second in his stacked heat race. After starting the 40-lap feature from the inside of the fourth row, Hudson was solidly inside of the top five on lap 30 when contact from Jonathan Davenport sent him spinning. The Martinsville, Indiana ace was unfortunately relegated to the rear of the stellar field and eventually wound up nineteenth in the final finishing order.

(January 20, 2023) Round two of the annual 'Sunshine Nationals' took center stage tonight at Volusia (FL) Speedway Park and another $8,000 winner's check was up for grabs. Hudson O'Neal clicked off the nineteenth quickest lap in Group B during the World of Outlaws Late Model Series qualifying session before running sixth in his stacked heat race and third in his B-Main. Unfortunately, that consolation race finish was one mere position away from a coveted transfer spot into the 25-lapper.

(January 19, 2023) The Rocket1 Racing team lifted the lid to their 2023 campaign earlier tonight in the 'Sunshine Nationals' opener at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida.

Hudson O'Neal stopped the clock fifth quickest in Group B during the qualifying session prior to placing second in his loaded heat race.

O'NEAL MAKES DEBUT WITH ROCKET1 AT CHARLOTTE

(November 6, 2022) Hudson O'Neal, of Martinsville, Indiana, made his debut with Rocket1 Racing from November 2-5 in the annual running of the 'World Finals' at the pristine Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, North Carolina. In the first of two $15,000 to win preliminary events on Wednesday night, Hudson timed in second fastest in Group A during World of Outlaws Case Construction Late Model Series qualifying before running third in his stacked heat race. After starting fifteenth on the grid in the 40-lap feature event, Hudson was able to move past a couple of competitors en route to a thirteenth place showing. In Thursday's similar show, Hudson once again posted the second quickest time in Group B during the qualifying session prior to securing a heat race triumph and a fifth place effort in the 40-lapper behind only $15,000 victor Tanner English, Shane Clanton, Chris Madden, and Mike Marlar!

Following a day off for the Super Late Model competitors on Friday evening, all eyes in the pit area at the 4/10-mile speedplant on Saturday were fixated on capturing the $25,000 first place prize money. In front of a standing-room-only grandstand crowd, Hudson drove the Valvoline / Seubert Calf Ranches / Gunter's Honey #1 machine for Rocket1 Racing to another heat race victory to earn the outside of the front row for the start of the 50-lap headliner. After leading the first 27 circuits and appearing to be a serious threat to pick up his first win with the team in only his third start, Hudson suffered right-rear quarter panel damage on the Rocket Chassis house car and unfortunately slipped back to an eighth place performance.
