I thought the bigger issue with Thomas's quote was going to be the notion that his "girlfriend" wasn't old enough to get into Lennies.
Took the words from my mouth!

Right? We thought Emmett missed an opportunity to have the alleged "police escort" from the airport drive him all the way to the infield.

Don't know her age, but he's dating John Heydenreich's daughter, at least that's what TMez said on Facebook.

Personally I'm hoping to see TMez do really great on Saturday. Or at least someone that's not Bell, Larson or a KKM car. Nothing against any of them, just want to see someone different win.

I want to say kudos to him for thinking that way. T Mez was patient when required and fast all night. I couldn’t help but think if everyone thought this way we might have a different midget champion
But we don't instead we have the 7th member to the USAC Triple Crown club.

Like I have said you have maybe the only chance in you career to be a triple crown champion you are going to do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Can't believe we are still taking shots at Chris because T-Mez realized he was in a transfer spot to the dash on Saturday and didn't do anything stupid as he has been known to do.

I know T-Mez personally and love him and his driving style and it was nice to see him kind of become a level headed racer and take what was given to him.

The great thing about this is we can all have opinions. My opinion is pretty obvious. I’m not a Big Daddy hater either. When we’re standing in the beer line at the track and they’re about to sell out and you’re in front of me in line, and I shove you out of the way to get the last one, just remember. It’s ok, I’m just doing what I have to do to get what I want

On Saturday T-Mez might do things a little different if it’s to win the chilibowl
Heck Larson said before he won he would spin his own mom to win

If you happen to shove me out of a beer line you may be able to do it but in the aftermath you'll know I was there. So if I drink three different brands of beer in one night does that give me a triple crown also? Horrible analogy.

95Kart, it's Not surprising, that it went 1 lane again! Unfortunately, as far as I know, they are still using the same dirt to build the track year after year.
It's wore out! My only crack at the Chili Bowl as a Driver was 2009 & the track was fabulous all week, but that's 12 years ago.
I pulled a couple legit wheelies because the track had that much bite!! This was on my Friday night, Preliminary. Definitely awesome back when it stayed great for longer.
