Didn't feel like it was an apology at all. His interviews comes across as being an arrogant ass, In my opioid I'd say that's pretty accurate... But he can drive.

Chris, what exactly is it that you can’t blame Thomas for?

I believe this is the same individual that was complaining last year @ Jacksonville ILL about the young kids & their questionable sliders?🤔

I can't blame T-Mez for racing as aggressively as he did Saturday night.

Obviously, he dumped Timms.

I think he took it to heart?
FloRacing loves to interview him, and he most definitely hasn't complained one iota this year.

Bad move indeed and interview didn't win him any fans!!! Sometimes T-Mez's brain doesn't engage before he speaks and this was one of these times!!! Should have apologized on the spot and walked away without trying to make another quote for his upcoming t-shirt. Like to watch him race and usually enjoy his interviews but this was not one of those times. No excuse for this one.

P.S. - The slide job by Chase Dietz was worse and he took out the leader who had never won before with just 7 laps to go. You knew that one was not going to fly.

Alright Chris. I’ll reserve judgement in this case. I’ll just say that perhaps we have different views on what we consider aggressive. I have a completely different word I would use for that particular incident
