Looks like a dirty slide job to me. When I started racing sprint cars you would get you rear end kicked down thru the pits from dirty slide jobs. All the dirty slide jobs by young new drivers without any respect for equipment or competitor got REAL OLD the last few years I raced.

I agree with you. I prefer watching side by side racing over slide jobs. I am always surprised when I see people on here talk about a great race with slide jobs everywhere.
Danny Roberts and crew had Bloomington in great shape all night and was some of the best side by side racing that I've ever been apart of at the track! Morin, Prather, Abel, Christian, and several others all ran me clean. When you can run side by side and pass people clean; deserves respect! Looking forward to a return trip soon!
My whole point was a guy knows weather are not he is going to clear the car he is slideing. Back when I raced if you knew you were not going to clear you lifted and fell back behind the guy and tried again couple laps later I remember seeing the cigar fall from Bob Kinsers mouth ( ouch) and getting a couple of pretty heated talks from Butch( me standing and just listening) Now days it seems the slider keeps going and either he clears cuz guy brakes or we have a yellow or red cuz he didn't I guess I don't want to see guys getting hurt and torn up cars from bad slide jobs

Exactly and who cares about the other guy and his equipment cuz daddy's open checkbook or corporate $$$ has your back!
Peace & love to all.
God bless our Troops at home and abroad.
