Grant won't be on Simon #24 or Smith's Christmas list.

There is no way in hell a lapper is going to race the leaders on a track like that unless the setup magically appeared all of a sudden. Grant also hit Hendricks rear end coming out of 4 as they were getting the white flag, The kid started 4th was up to 2nd & stepped on it not once but twice & fell back to 5th. Lack of judgement coupled with being young could have been the culprit but the kid wanted to WIN THE JACK HEWITT CLASSIC.

I have to agree, Justin ran -through- Landon............
It would have been a sweet move to come inside of Hendricks -IF- Landon had not been there....ya' just can't make room for 3 cars, when there is only room for 2. With that extra shot of water...courtesy of the 'sky sprinkler system', the track was go fast or go home. A lot of guys were going into 1 without lifting. The first 2 laps of the feature Grant was on the right front wheel -ONLY- at times, through 1 And Hendricks had the hot set up on his car...plus starting on the front row helps some. The only way anybody was going to win last night was to run the hell out of their car. Justin was doing that, but he chose the wrong time to make his move (and he was close to being out of time, they had just gotten the 2 to go sign). He had reeled Hendricks in by 3-4 car lenghts in the 2 laps prior to the incident with Landon. Everybody there last night deserves a pat on the back, for putting on a great show, and 'gassin it up'!! ![]() ![]() |

If Landon didn't cut down in front of Grant with two to go, while Grant was racing for the lead, it wouldn't have happened.

I'm sure you know already Taryn, but for those who weren't there......
T-Mez got upside down, and it was a while before they got him out of the car. It was reported that they were going to transport him to a hospital. He was loaded into the ambulance, (from what I could see from the stands...there was A LOT of people at the back of the ambulance) then after a few minutes, Gerry announced for everyone to look at the ambulance.....T-Mez was standing on the track behind the ambulance, waving to the stands to let people know he was alright! He then climbed back into the ambulance, and they went into the pits with him in the back. Anybody know how he's doing today?? |

If Grant would have not lost the positions after getting up to 2nd at start we would probably be talking about a different winner. Twice he got to high in 1 & 2 & fell back to 5th.
