Saw this thing happen in person ...I thought his throttle stuck ...but after talking to people around me say he did it on purpose I changed my mind. Still cann't beleve what I saw.

Also.... I think Sammy was and still is a very good sprint car driver... but he needs to sit down special " K" and put a finger in his face....I am a father too so I am not talking about things I do not know.

Yeah... I was there too and trust me... a word such as "disbelief" just doesn't cut it for that incident...:eek:

Kevin was without brakes when him and clayton got together at Perris i was in the work area when he pulled in on the next yellow.

Kevin by far has a lot more talant then most out there, that we can say is a fact....Can you really blame him for being young and alittle bit crazy...i mean have you seen sprintcar racing latley the young guys dont care if they pile it up on a night going for the win in a heat let alone a main event cause they know that there high dollar sponsers are going to have a car ready the next night to go do that same thing...

Lets face it Clayton might only take him self out most of the time when he wrecks 20+ times in one season but thats just him being lucky, that he only manages to kill him self and not others.....

DONT HATE THE PLAYA HATE THE GAME SOMETIMES!!!!

I think Kevin has talent, but no sense to go with it. If this was 20 or 30 years ago, the racers Kevin run over would "fix" the problem themselves.:icon_smile_blackeye Now that sort of thing is frowned on.

I'd bet if this happened to someone else that you guys actually liked (say maybe DD) you wouldn't say one word.
