I don't like it and would like to see the top dogs drive a little more cleanly, since they claim to be the best. Disappointed in Bacon and JG but I won't quit wearing their shirts, even Tmez talks his jazz and then runs into people. I really feel for the lower budget teams, I was there once. When I see a crash all I see is dollar signs after the driver gets out and hope that that team has the resources to continue racing.
I hear that KTJ's dad has paid for some of the damage his son has caused?
It might be old school but maybe there should be some black eyes and fat lips passed around to deter some of the on track contact. How come no one pulls BS moves on Shane Cottle?

That last sentence.
It as rare as anything in dirt racing that someone would pull a B.S move on Shane Cottle. There are a few instances of him being very pissed off. I think most drivers know that and wouldn't pull a dirty slider on Shane any time soon. In the early 2000's Shane drive a red 78# Modified for my close friend Mike Hollifield at Buzzard Race Cars and raced as hard as any driver but race as clean as he could with respect for the other drivers on the track and got a bunch of feature wins out of it.

2025 Season - TBA
