I watched this site for quite sometime and never posted until now, but I got to do it now. After watching last night's race which was very good by the way until Hunter took Bland jr. out.:thumbsdown: They traded a few slide jobs of which were clean until the last one where Hunter put Bland into the wall. I sure hate to see a race won or lost like that. I sure hate to think it was planned on his part but it sure looked like it. Congrats on your win Hunter I hope it was worth it...

There were alot of slide jobs lastnight that were clean and some that were not . :doh: I do not believe in the track position that we were running it was an intentional thing.. I think that there were 2 good racers going for the same piece of realestate and neither was going to lift. There for it was a slide job gone bad.( I really can't say I wasn't in the car)

However get this... When did the crew become accountable for the way a driver performs out on the track? :confused:

This brings me to say...Just when you think you know someone... you really don't. and it makes me sad because I had alot of respect and admiration for this family..

Yes the slide job looked bad because they touched bumpers, but my feelings on a slide job is the guy who is getting slid is in total control of what is going to happen..you can either get off the gas and go back under him or stay in the gas and touch which happened...if it was right rear to left front i would have blamed hunter but it was bumper to bumper which means he was clear but bland decided to stay in the gas..they are two very young and up and coming drivers and i respect both of them a great deal...they put on a heck of a show

Ask Josh Spencer (Sprint Week @ TSS) and Shane Cottle (Gas City) about clean slide jobs and passes by Hunter.

Yea the spencer pass was hunters fault and he admitted to it and the deal with cottle was his brake caliper was nearly hanging off so therefore didnt have any brakes
