1. Dale Earnhardt if he was still alive. I would have loved to talk to him and get to see an in depth perspective on racing. I would also love to hear his opinion on racing today. 
2. Those legends stood out because they had the guts to go that extra step and drive harder than the rest. Those guys truly felt connected to their cars and made the most of their experiences. 
3. Where did you find that video of Paul? That's hilarious.

1. Dale Jarrett, to tell him to drive the damn truck already.
2. Money, lol, just kidding. I dunno much about most of them, I think Richard Petty is the only one I sort of know, and I think he was set apart because he was influential in developing NASCAR to what it is now.
3. Nah, I'd be a Panda.

Pre-Race Interview:
1. What legendary race car driver would you like to sit down the most with and pick their brain, and why? Davey Allison Childhood hero, knew everything about the car.
2. What sets guys like Mario Andretti, James Hunt, Ayrton Senna, Richard Petty, Craig Lowndes from the rest of the guys they raced against in their careers? Those guys esp Mario was great in anything he got behind the wheel of. Senna IMO is the most overrated driver in history. No idea why people think he's great. He was good but not close to the love he gets.

Guys. We really need more give and take. Seriously. Big time. I saw so many incidents thanks to people taking too much and giving nothing. With the smaller field there is NO excuse that we should have had 14 yellow flags. I did cause one (self spin) but there were at least 2 or 3 drivers that really should have been parked due to causing 2 or more incidents. Easily the worst race I have ever been in. To the few who raced others clean, good job. To those who kept running over multiple people - chill out. I'm pretty disappointed about this. I pray that Charlotte is better.

I had a rough night, I apologize to the guys I had incidents with: Brandon, Jaymes, Daniel, and Paul.  I hate taking anyone out and would never do so intentionally.  Daniel that incident I had with you was horrible net code on my end.  Paul gave me the ultimate insult so you guys don't need to say a word.

 

[Junkyardspecial]

Kristian ours was racing man, I didn't get an incident I thought you locked up your brakes.

For the incident where I was taken out under caution. please f3, and please have awareness, it was careless and shouldnt have happened. Really was super careless.

I appreciate you owning up to it. I was pretty mad after our contact but that was nothing compared to the driver who dumped me. He knows what he did. I doubt I'll get closure for that one. 

 

[KevinWhittaker]

A pathetic night of racing to say the least. 

 

[Kyle7]

Woo P3 with no practice! Car was a tad tight center the whole night but track really didn’t get time to rubber up because of all the cautions A lot were people fighting on the inside and pushing up dumping each other, or driving it in way to hard and getting in people’s ass. Hope next week is better!! Plus no inccidents either!!

 

[John LaBaff]

i wasn't able to race due to that stupid windows update but watched on YouTube and that race should have been called ipacing not iracing. there are many drivers in this series that demand respect but don't give respect. I race on weds nights which is a fixed setup and yes fewer drivers but if I remember right I think we had fewer cautions the whole season then you guys did last night. let that sink in for a minute just saying. really hope we retain sponsorship for next season with the way this season is going.

 

[Jeffery Ford]

James sorry bout getting into you on the fro t straight.  Prior to that I was 180 degrees from being dumped. I was still trying to control the car even though it appeared to you like I was leisurely driving back up into racing lane. I wasn’t. I was working the wheel hard and on unfamiliar bullshit equipment. (New rig enroute). Bit glad it did t ruin your night. It was Definitly not likebut apoeared. Here’s the shitty rig I was using last night too. haha. New motion rig here this week. For now this is what I got!!

 

[soupflakes]

What's that ultimate insult? That you might secretly be a cheesehead?

I also messed up, I didn't get under Craig's left side quick enough and turned him. And I am sorry for that. Daniel as far as spinning you, I saw you start to get loose and I tried everything I could to get it high or backed down or something and I just couldn't get it backed down enough.

Also, guys, it was a rough race. I've said it before and I'll say it again. We're going to have them. It's going to happen. It happens in every form of racing in history. We have had good to great races in general all season. We refocus and move on. Let the water go under the bridge for this one. We're a good league, and I've watched a peak race that was a caution fest.

Oh and Kristian. I'm making you a cheese head paint scheme so you can own up to it.

 

[KingCobra]

Accusing me of being from Wisconsin and being a Cheesehead are fighting words. I’m a Vikings season ticket holder! It was a messy race but on a short track like that there is going to be some contact. I’ve been destroyed at multiple tracks already this season. It’s racing. Load the car and move on to the next track.

 

[soupflakes]

Lmao, I stand by my fighting words.  Let's go.  

Here you guys go.

On a high note, guys the broadcast is awesome having more people than one doing the broadcast, and having guys that know the racers on a personal level is awesome. I really loved watching that one.
