Hey NoWIngs i was not the cause of the red I was in street stocks and i got on here to look and noticed my name and it should not have been an issue that was even posted on here since this is for sprint cars. I was just defending myself for something some bonehead idiot started posting on here. I don't know what red you are talking about_Sorry! I was making a point that they need to mind their own business and leave me and my race team the He** alone! Maybe they are the ones who need to learn to drive.

No problem. The way you made it sound I thought you were the one that they stopped the B main for. My bad.

Not a problem dude!

Sounds to me like Dickie tried to intimidate Arin into backing off. Arin stood up to him, held her line, and kept her foot on the gas. Way to go, Arin! 3/4 clear isn't clear and doesn't own the spot. Dickie bad . Do not pass go, do not collect $200 .

My whole point is if your going to do it for one you must do it for all. There have been cases when many have bumped each other and nothing is taken to extremes. This entire incident did start a while back and could have been resolved quickly had some chosen to do so. Most of you should know that those boys grandfather was Steve Bowlen and he taught these boys to race fair and square. He also taught them that tempers may flare and your going to rub each other from time to time but that is racing. EVERY ACTION RECREATES A REACTION. It is up each individual to handle these situations and some choose not to handle these in the best way. I am very familiar with this family and the entire situation is old. Keith Ford was in the stands talking to the grandmother that night. As far as what I saw in the pits, I have very good eyes, have been in a racing family for years, that is the way I saw it and I am sorry if some of you disagree. I

It seems to me that a lot of these statements are made by people not aware of the entire picture. In my mind Arin Mcintosh drove a good race held her line and actually made about 4 shots at passing Cunningham . Gaines suffered from frustration that he could not make a clean pass and drove right into her.some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you. She was driving my car and I couldnt be prouder of her JACK REED Tonys Dad

Arin was doing a great job, as she does on a weekly basis. She is fast, consistent, clean, and a hard racer. I have no issues with Dickie Gaines, but he flat screwed up. Many of the "boy racers" would do well to follow Arin"s example.

I would just like to say that I know Dickie felt extremely bad over the situation last Saturday and would like to clear up that no one from his team was laughing at other people's misfortunes by any means or had any intentions of trying to make a stink with a bunch of good people that will have to race together dozens of times in the future. Trying to apologize or give an explanation that evening would have just started trouble and dickie is not one to be rude to anyone. The end result was a horrible situation but many other circumstances could have led to that type of accident. He would never have made hard enough contact with anyone to send them flipping or blatently take them out, there was just a little contact and the field bottlenecked down the line and by the time mid pack got to the flagman the accordion effect happened. If someone is still truly upset and feels the need to retaliate that is a risk they will have to take but the result could end up the same with a lot of torn up stuff on there own car as well as others. not trying to make excuses just wanted to make clear there was no disrespect or gloating that a bunch of s__t got torn up and many people had a miserable night because that is not why we nor anyone else goes to the track to strive for.
