Cummins, Leary, KT Jr.
Perfect track after heavy afternoon rain.
Leary bitches about doctored tires.
KT bitches about track and flips off crowd on way out.
Lost what little respect I had for both of those two.
Word in the pits after the show was that tires were discussed in the driver’s meeting prior to the races. The USAC regulars (Thomas, Leary, & possibly others) asked about “prepped tires”. MSCS officials said more or less anything goes.
As others pointed out, if the track was one lane, how did Carson Short and Robert Ballou come from the back to the front? Kyle Cummins and Hank Byrum are back together and have picked up where they left off in 2017. Was the fans saw tonight was a second straight dominant performance at TSS by the 3R team.
Kevin Thomas Jr. just lost a big fan tonight and as a person that purchased over 29K worth of equipment from Grainger last year, I will be speaking with my local representative Tuesday morning to share my opinion about their marketing partner. His language and actions after the race were totally uncalled for, especially in front of young children.
As for C.J. Leary, get over it. You too have lost several fans tonight. You got taken to the woodshed tonight and I’m not sure your “Haubstadt Car” would have helped. If I had been Tom Helfrich, I would have pulled the three sets of tires from the three cars and swapped them. Then ran the three podium finishers for a five lap trophy dash. I doubt the result would have been any different...
