Hewitt's taken his fair share out while attempting a slide job. You guys just don't like Kevin because of his last name and maybe a comment or two he made in the past. But the kid can drive just look at Belleville & Oskie. Not bad for a part timer.

Clayton is a gasser, but like it was said he is on the edge. There's nothing wrong with that, doesn't the two go hand in hand in non-wing racing? Those are the kind of driver's fans pay to see.

All I am gonna say is that I want to be entertained when I goto the race track period. I know for a fact that the MDC does that as much as anybody. The young guns in racing right now are some of the most fun to watch in quite awhile. JMO

My whole point was that I don't see where Daron Clayton is "disrespectful" to other drivers, as Glad Brad would previously question.
And maybe it was disrespectful of me to bring Kevin into the conversation, as disrespectful as I think he is. My opinion has absolutely nothing to do with his name, just stuff like mashing the throttle wide open while sitting atop the hood/rollcage of another guys' car....:kookoo
Just stuff like that......

Tailtank is on it. Heaven forbid you touch Hewitt's car. Clayton is worth the price of admission. Not many are. Whiteside just never gave him a car worthy of his talent.

I grew up at places like Haubstadt and Terre Haute. I've been privileged to see a good portion of the best this sport has ever produced. Dick Gaines, Steve Kinser, Jack Hewitt, Rich Vogler, Sheldon Kinser, Chuck Amati, Gary B., Jan Opperman and Pancho Carter are a few of the greats I've been lucky enough to see display their talents. And while all of those drivers will be looked back on in history, when everything is said and done, as better drivers that Daron, not a single one of them could light up a place and electrify a crowd like the MDC can, when he's on. Especially those two joints. I've never seen anything like him.

Bingo:thumb Couldnt have said it better myself. That was the point he went from being simply an aggravating smart ass to a true danger to other drivers. That might have been the most INTENTIONALLY dangerous thing I've ever seen on a racetrack.

Daron is the man no question about it. The truckers car did not fit his style of driving Dont know about the set ups. Is he disrespectful? @@@@ no he is not. Watch the next time he wrecks and takes someone out with him. Every time he takes some out that i have seen the first thing he does when he gets out of his car is not look at his own car to see what the damage is on it. Every time i have seen him he gets out of his car and goes over to check on the other driver makes sure they are ok and opalagises well it looks that way to me. The boy might have some wrecks but lets see some of us get out there and try to do what he does i will bet that there would be even more wrecks.


GO GET THEM DAREN SHOW THESE HATERS WHATS UP
