Don you can defend Brady's actions all you want, it's your job and I'm fine that... but I never touched Brady, accidentally or on purpose. Maybe watch the video again, I don't remember seeing any contact between the top 5 except for one car..

I've watched the video and Shuman would have won the race he was faster than the two cars infront of him. How many times did he pass a car and move up a spot and a caution flag would fly. As for short he'll get what he has comin. We need to bring have it boys to sprint car racing.

just watched the video again .. casey . and stand by my ealier post.. the only contact brady made with you was when you banged the front end of the cushion and got out of shape but just small contact and racing resumed.. then later a nice slide job and a few laps later you tapped him with your front tire. and the commentators words were... shuman makes contact with short....just racing no big deal... and when u flipped he was no where near u .. that was all u... and no its not my job to defend brady im as hard on him as anyone when it comes to driving clean.. in a nutshell he did make a mistake on the hayden incident ... and i dont know a driver out there that doesnt make them..to early for this chit lets just race... don short

Ohhh you are talking about when Brady's RR hits my LF coming off of four? Also I never blamed anyone but myself for getting upside down, it was completely my fault.

I have been a fan of Brady Short since he was driving mods, he is a clean driver from what I can tell and seems like a very nice guy from the times that I have spoken with him at the track. I was at the race saturday and saw the incident with Hayden happen. To me in looked like a racing thing on a slick track. I'm sure it was not on purpose. not every slide job is gonna be perfect especially on a track that slick.

Ok Shuman, you say Brady's RR hit your LF, maybe it did, but it's kind of tough to know who's behind you and where they are exactly. I'm sure that wasn't done on purpose. Bottom line is this, you guys are all racers, and if you aren't trying to race to win, you shouldn't be there....track was difficult to race on, thus making it harder for all...BUT, why under one of the yellows did you hit Brady several times? What was the purpose of that? You all race hard and no one wakes up making a decision they are going to take someone out. Hayden has posted here he's going to get Brady back. He also mentioned hitting Brady and knocking him to the highway...why make a bad decision to trash someone's race car, or, even worse, take steps that cause a substantial risk of bodily injury or death...and post on here you are going to do that! Sounds similar to a crime in Indiana called ******** recklessness...that's not a good decision...like Don Short said, too early for this, time to race hard and clean!!!

Ha yup you are right, he didn't know I was there, and I wasn't ******** about it.. I was simply pointing out that Don was a little off in saying I hit Bradys LR with my RF coming off of two, when it was actually his RR and my Lf off of four.. Don is the one that accused me of trying to spin Brady and didn't get the job done.. And you are also right, I'm just ready to go racing again, we had a really fast car and the driver screwed up.. I'm not too proud to admit a mistake.

I don't think there was a driver here at fault. Brian doing awesome job was a bit slower than a shuman and short but was smart enough to keep same line every lap threw one and two. Just happened to be the only line. (Track prep problem) but he uses head more than foot. On the other hand these drivers with rides are in to win no matter what it takes. I don't think short meant to crash anyone. What I seen was shuman followed Brian patiently lap after lap Brian hit same mark and line but after short got shuman he wasn't familiar with the line Brian had been taking and hammered it in and clipped him. Sucks for both but respectful racing is past tense their in it to win it. I think 99% of racers out there these days aren't going to be faster than a car in front and settle for second or third because track is impassable on one end they are going for it sooner or later. Give these guys a racey race track and they can race. Not saying I could prep better just my opinion. I would of loved to see Brian win but can't blame anyone for this. Part of it

So, Shuman, why did you hit Brady under yellow?

So, Mr L., I tapped him, and then pulled up next to him and motioned to settle down, we were halfway through a 40 lap race!... Which he responded by flipping me off.. Any other questions??
