Great race nonetheless!! I felt bad for Cummins and the 3r team though just pure bad luck with no where to go.

I felt so bad for Kyle and the 3r team so close to a huge win. I also want to say thanks to Scott and Jen and Coach Meese for all their help with my stuff tonight. Oh yeah and also the FIREBALL lol WWHHHHOOOOOOO :8:

Congratulations to brady short racing. What a great year. Will you guys be at Eldora and the burg .

Great night at the races. I took a first timer that loved it. The second heat was something to behold! Terrible break for Kyle, I feel for him and the MDC. On a lighter note, I was parked right outside turn 3. I made it home with about 10 lbs of Haubstadt clay in and on my truck, which I swept out into my yard. Maybe next spring I'll sprout some sprint cars.

I wasn't there but I have to believe that if robert didn't get in trouble early in the night, might have been # 11 for him. Definitely going forward. What a great year for the madman. And did Clayton have anything for em if he didn't break?

Great job Brady Short, win #16 at the Haubstadt Hustler!! Which was also his 10th MSCS win this year, AND he's now the winningest driver in MSCS!! Great job!!

Press charges? Ha.... Going to need to hear more details.

I agree I will need more details to make my judgement call but just saying what information I received. I was told Cottle went after him after the feature and they were punching each other.

I'm not sure who went after who first as I walked by after they had already started but it was quite the tussle. It took a small army to keep Shane back once they had them broken away from each other.

The racing was great as usual and the crowd was excellent, no doubt enhanced by the large purse and lots of radio and TV advertising, as well as the publicity on the internet surrounding the return of Daron Clayton (aka Modern Day Cowboy).
Clayton exhibited his typical driving style in hot laps, but I am not sure his car was capable of contending with the stronger cars of his fellow competitors. But, that is pure conjecture on my part, and I feel there is something about TSS that causes Daron to find the equivalent of another 100 horsepower when he gets into the heat of the battle. Too bad we didn't get to witness more than three laps of competition from him in the feature.

Imagine the battle if we could have added Clayton and Ballou into the Short/Cummins fury...........

Does anyone know why Cottle was upset with Tmez? I watched every lap Saturday night, and I didn't see anything that looked "dirty". They raced each other hard, but pretty much everyone raced hard Saturday night.

Clayton looked good in hot laps, pretty good in his heat, but was clearly wicked loose at the start of the feature. He did everything but spin out on the first start, and on the restart it was obvious either something was wrong or he badly missed the setup. Too bad that his return lasted only 3 feature laps.

While it might have been a different story had Ballou started further toward the front, Cummings and Short were awfully strong. On my watch, even in traffic, they were running about 0.1s faster than Ballou at lap 30. Ballou had a great run to come from 20th to 7th.

It's ok for him to run over someone and trash a brand new racecar, but not when something happens to him, all hell breaks loose. I witnessed Cottle at the 2015 Amati Classic at paragon speedway flat run over Jon Stanbrough and send them both flipping. Jon was leading and Shane was in 2nd. Coming out of turn 2, with probably 40 laps left, Cottle drove over Jon's brand new car and destroyed it. You know what Jon did in retaliation? Nothing. Walked to his pit, changed clothes and went home.

Ya I'm sure it's all Cottle's fault. (Sarcasm so heavy a D8 dozer couldn't push it)

Re: Any Haubstadt Update? 9/19/15
 

I have no clue whose fault it was. I never saw them make contact but I know they were all racing hard in a large group so somebody probably rubbed wheels at some time. But, that's Haubstadt for ya.
