What was the caution with a lap to go? To me it was like they wanted sammy or his son to win it bad. They said something about T-mez but i never seen him stop. Just curious what other people were thinkin? But Cole Whitt had a hell of a run on him when the caution flew. Well ethier way it was an awsome week of racing and I had a blast.

Yeah I find it funny I can say something congratulating the Swindells, and pointing out the dislike for them here and it gets deleted within a couple of hours, yet this post can stay?

Also funny how last year there was a Swindell post bashing him and Kevin that went for 8-10 pages.....

Well in my opinion if they wanted Sammy to win or not in my book he earned every bit of it starting 25th and getting involved in two wrecks. An Kevin earned it aswell from droping back at the beginning of the race and making a charge back to the front. So good job to the whole Swindell team.

According to someone from the tower (and confirmed by someone here that was in turn 2), the 2 car of T-mez slapped the wall and just about flipped. Though he never came to a complete stop, they thought he was going to, so threw the yellow. Nobody in the stands saw it, because everyon was too busy watching Sammy, Cole and Kevin.

That makes sense then, but I didnt see it and nobody around me did is why I was asking. And I wasnt tring to dis on the Swendells at all It just looked real funny to me and everyone around me. Nobody around me saw what happend either. I my opinion Sammy Is one of the best drivers I have ever watched. Thanks for the info! I hope I didnt make anyone mad.

Ya thats what I heard but in reality I hardly lost a spot and it didnt even bend anything on the car unlike some other drivers that hit it so hard it bent the wheel an the j-ladder but I went to the back like I was told on the radio...not the finish I was hoping for but happy to be racing

I wasn't there nor did I see it, but since T-Mez has givin his take on it, I'll go ahead give my two cents.... First I'd like to say congrats to Sammy and his little bull for pulling off a 1st and 3rd place finish. I'm just curious how many feathers were ruffled on the way to the front? Sammy was, is, and always will be one of the best. Little bull on the other hand is just that a "bull" in a china shop. I raced karts with Kevin in 04' or 05' at Dismores NCMP and Sammy and his baby boy were ran off because Jr couldn't figure out where the other karts stopped and his started, and often try'd driving through you and not around you. Maybe he's honed his skills now. If so, good job.. If not, pull those belts a little tighter cause it could be a rough ride.
