Can't believe they made such a big deal over this. #32 slid right into him so I get why he was upset but don't see where it was a big deal he spun him when nobody was around.

His actions off the track in the pits was worse than on the track.

also....go back a year or two and think about people he hit, ran over, wrecked, ect while he was gaining experience. those who live in glass houses.....well, you know the rest.... behind the wheel, he has come a long way....maybe time to take some anger management classes.....

although i appreciate the response, i have been involved in racing as a driver/owner/crew person for well over 40 years. i understand anger and frustration first hand and have been known to "lose it" many times for many reasons....never with good outcome.
i also know that no one gets "banned" from a track for no reason and based on your twitter posts, you were, in my opinion, justifying your anger and actions when you were approached in your trailer......and suggested that you would do the same thing under the same circumstances if they arose again. you said nothing about the sherriff getting involved or the retaliation on the track. its great that you and chase were able to discuss things and hopefully put them behind each of you. thats usually how it works out anyway, doesnt it? but that wasnt the basis for my post.....nor did you adress any of the issues in my post in your reply. it sounded more like pre scripted nascar damage control. |

C47 I was not aware of my necessity to owe you a detailed explanation of anything concerning Friday night. I will not talk about a Sherriffs officer or anything else from that night. I will say that I respect the O'Connors, I understand the security officer has a job to do and I love that racetrack. We will be there for all USAC events next year and will enjoy every minute of the excitement that track breeds. As for how I handle things in the future, that's my call, not yours but thanks for the genuine concern. I always try to be conscious of the situation, but let me be the first to say that I'm not perfect. I love this sport and will always give it my all. C47 you have a blessed day and try as I am to go forward not backwards. I do learn from things and try to be better for it. Friday was no different, and this is not scripted but instead just straight talk.
Thanks KT Posted via Mobile Device |

Probably should reach out to some others in your "apology", that may help you in the short run on getting back in.

Respect the O'Conner's? Interesting. How much "respect" did you show for them when you had your little melt down on the track? Would be interesting to hear what the O'Conner's insurance agent would have said if he/she would have been there to see you throw your little temper tantrum after the checkered flag. How much respect was shown to the O'Conner's when you threw your little temper tantrum in the pits with the Sheriff's deputy, or track security as you call them (which the O'Conner's hire)? Just because you put on a driver's suit does not make you invincible. I bet you wouldn't act that way towards law enforcement if you were in street clothes and pulled over on the side of the road. Kid, you're making great progress on the track from last year. You've got the talent and arguably the best wrench in the pits. Keep your head on straight and you've got a great career ahead of you. |
