THat is a sad video on so many fronts. Ridiculous security work, ridiculous actions by the team and maybe the last we will see of a very talented race car driver who cant seem to keep him humm humm nose clean.
both security guards were fired yesterday. tyler and team got last night off. last i checked, they will be at port royal tonight.
the team was having a horrible night and the call made after tyler avoided running over the 747 was BS. yeah, he flipped out but i understand why....and i have done it myself a few times. adrenalin gets flowing and you just blow up.
this isnt chess we play here and sometimes it gets very emotional.

That being said you still have to check your emotions,coming from most recently racing speedway where crashes are pretty common, sometimes with the same guy more than once in a heat race there would be no racing just fights. Your also the spokesman for your team and sponsors. I guess what I'm saying is it's up to yourself to know when you look like a out of control punk. Emotional is one thing, flipping out is another. A perfect clip to show your kids on how not to act.
I don't get to the grove much on Fridays more a supporter of the Saturday Series, but there have been reports of poor security actions there (Fridays) for a couple years. Sad to see this get so out of hand.
Tyler drove for us one time a couple years ago in California on asphalt and was the fastest car on the track. Personable, respectful, and genuinly nice guy if you haven't met him. This was not his best moment, and the kids should not be exposed to the language, but the frustration of the circumstances were great. He is a personality we need in the sport. He drives fast and clean. I would rather have him at my track than not.
Either he was, or keep that up and everybody will be thinking he is.
