WOO, good job Hud! Thanks for the updates

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

Way to go Hud

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

Congrats to "Bad to the Bone" Hud Cone!!

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

The 77u led 23 out of the 25 laps and was running away with it! I personally think that was a dirty slide job by Hud. But whatever. that's my .02

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

Yea, that wasn't a slide job, that was a "pinch him into the wall so he has to lift or flip" move. Hud is better than that. Urish tried the same move on turn 4 of the last lap as what looked to be payback, but couldn't get there. I like watching Hud and root for him. Everyone can make a bonehead move every now and then. This was one of them tonight. I'm sure if Hud could watch the tape he'd see what I mean. If I was Hud I would have traded checks with the 77u tonight... and this is coming from someone who was rooting for Hud.

Its one thing if they were racing for the lead the last 15 laps but Urish straight up ran away with it every restart. It was just bad luck they had a yellow with 3 to go. I think at one point Urish had a straightaway lead on everyone. I guess its just bad luck for chris.

Sounds like Hud is ready to run USAC full time! :5:

I also root for Hud but apologize to Urish for putting a slide job on him. The only apology Hud should give and did give to is Chad Branson. Hud did hit Branson no question about it. Slide jobs are done every week on every dirt track, some are pretty and some are ugly, but it's done weekly. Thats why i go to dirt tracks, to watch cars sliding, on the edge. Urish is a very good driver and i wish him the best, but Hud owes Urish nothing. Hud did watch the tape , Urish Should view the tape also. :22::6:

Where is the tape and how can we watch it?

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

As far as i am concerned this race is over. I never went and said anything to Hud. Hud came and talked to me and that is that, there are no problems between him and I. i have raced with him plenty of times and hopefully will many more. The last thing i want is anyone beating him up over it on here, or thinking that myself or my team is making a big deal about this,it was over when we pulled out that night, he won and we ran second. It was a good race and now is over, on to the next one. I would like to know why i need to watch the tape i had a pretty good seat right where i was at. Lets not be so negative on here, and focus more on positive things, for example even though we were short on cars, morgan county gave us a great race track and the fans got to see a good race. thanks for your time Chris Urish

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

Chris, there needs to be more people like you in racing! I applaud you!!!

you just picked up another fan

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

Sorry guys. I wasn't meaning to start anything. I'm just a fan. I don't know Urish or Hud. As a fan, I like both. I didn't mean that the move was dirty, it just looked to me like it was a slide job that didn't work out and turned out to be a pinch. I know that Hud is a clean driver and it just didn't look to me like he was in position at the time to pull off a true slide job... and from my vantage point he didn't quite get it done without Urish having to seriously lift (losing 2 positions and half a straight). Those things happen. I was just pointing out what I saw as a fan, pure and simple. Lets move on. I wasn't trying to stir anything up, and Chris' post tells me that my uneducated opinion on the matter was wrong. I'll take Chris' view of it and realize that I just saw some good, hard, but fair non-wing action.

I re-read my post and I guess it was worded a little stronger than I meant it. At the time I was rooting for Hud because he was behind, as I usually root for the pass. It was a VERY entertaining race and both drivers invovled are complete pro's. I wasn't trying to generate any bad blood. Maybe it's because my little boy had the 7x and I had the 77u and that move cost me a coke. I tend to lose my cool with so much on the line. lol, but cherish the chance to make that bet every Friday night just like I did with my dad.

Can't wait to see both of them back at Jacksonville... hopefully brining a few more cars with you next time. And Chris, I have to say that you were HOOKED UP that whole feature. Maybe that was part of it on my end. You were the car to beat Friday and I hated to see you leave without the win.

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

Aren't slide jobs part of racing. It seems like the only people upset are a couple of fans. Urish isn't mad. Hud's a class guy anyways, always doing the right thing and from the sounds of his post Chris Urish is a class act too. Isn't the drivers job to win the race. This sounds like a damn good race to me with a last lap pass. My thanks to both these drivers for putting on a good show.

Bloard: We need more Fathers like you who spend time and take your son to the races. You are far from being uneducated my man. Chris And Hud are both class acts. One question : did your son get his coke lol.:32:

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

I'm not aware of any fans that are upset. I don't think I ever implied I was upset. I didn't see anyone else in this thread who said they were upset. I go to races without a vested interest, so nothing is going to make me upset. I simply was pointing out what I saw, and as it turns out my observation was wrong. How bout we leave it at that. No one is uspset, and in fact I think most who saw the race were entertained and that's what I pay my money for anyway. No need for drama over this, it wasn't that big of a deal. I'll bite my tongue next time because I wasn't aware it would be taken the way it was. Thanks everyone involved for a great show. Come back... we appreciate you over here.

And yes... he got his coke. Hud also won him one with a great run over at Shepps a few weeks ago. Wish I could get him away from the 7x so I don't go so thirsty, but I think he's found his horse and it's not a bad one to ride. Plus, it's a guy I don't mind him looking up to (thanks Hud) and we all know how important that is.

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

Just to get things straight, there is no bad blood between Hud and myself either. Hud made a big mistake and took me out. It was an Accident!! It was not on purpose. He admitted his mistake and apologized for it and I accepted that apology. We have all made the wrong move at the wrong time, it just sucked we were running second at the time. Don't think anyone had anything for Chris though.
Hud is a good guy and he probably felt worse than I did after and he won. My kids and wife were in the stands and I really appreciated his apology over the PA for all to hear as well as the personal one he came down to my trailer and gave me. Alot can be forgiven when people act like men and take responsability for their actions. Im just glad to be fast enough to race with good drivers like Hud and Chris. To bad we have to wait 4 weeks to go back but great job to Billy West for a fantastic track.

Re: Morgan Co. updates
 

I was fortunate to race with Hud and Chris many times over the years. both class guys and fine drivers. Never got to race with you Chad, but I can tell you're a class guy too, and a fine racer I've heard. We need as many quality guys as we can get in this sport, here's three.
