Continental classic - Blake Spencer bows out of the Fan Vote. Since he was 2nd in voting looks like some one else will get a chance.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of "tools" out there. Your race team should not be subject to stuff like that.

Social media is the ass boil of society. I have no idea why/when everyone started thinking they were important enough for everyone to care about their opinions on everything under the sun or needed to see a picture of their f***ing salad every time the go to Panera.

It’s ruined good people and given a voice to a bunch of dipsh!ts who were either A. We’re raised by idiots B. Need their a$$ kicked or C. Both of the above.

Well said BK......personal attacks on him and the team is wayyyyyy outa bounds!

But I will add........I try to practice what Smokey used to say, "if youre gonna be in racing, you better have skin thicker than an alligator"!

Never more truer words!

Sounds like hurt feelings won this race.

The more disappointing thing to see for me, is someone like John Blankeship (Former Winner) not get into this 48-car group, but drivers we know that can't make a turn in a 40-acre field are in. Call it the Joker 100

The fan vote is a joke in general. I’d rather seen about 20-25 dirt late model minds vote the final 4. They know who’s deserving. Or I’d be fine with Todd Turners 4 choices. He knows.

There will be lots of former winners not in the field. I thought it was a joke he was even nominated he’s only raced a handful of times the last few years.

Why should he? He races like twice a year now.

Scott James is in. What the Phuck has he done at Eldora?

John Blankenship has actually won the race.

He has competitive equipment. Probably a Fresh Motor, Brand New Car. Something that will at least be competitive enough to win in.

Scott James still races full time, why reward guys who have basically retired? (Jeep, MM, Blankenship).

James and Matt Miller have won late model features this year.

Blankenship?

Scott James, Matt Miller, and John Blankenship's cars are sitting outside of your house.

You have to pick one to race. Since you're pushing your agenda, you won't pick John Blankenship because you are think that Scott James winning (2) unsanctioned regular shows at Lake Cumberland mean he belongs in the Generic World 100 And Matt Miller, which I've only seen once or twice this year race.

I'm going w/ John Blankenship because its the best equipment, with the best chance of winning, with a guy who has won before.

Scott James made The Stream. That alone merits an invite

None of those mentioned have a legitimate shot at winning so if that’s the metric you’re using I’d just move along. If he still raced I’d take Blankenship, but he’s essentially retired so you can’t justify giving him a spot over someone out there doing it most weeks IMO.

You and your driver stay in IL. Let the grownups talk here. Aren't you guys racing Rusty Schlenk for 2000 somewhere that weekend?

You asked for it.

Feger just won 2 10k to win shows in the past couple weeks... Feger has never ran away from competition, even racing at Races he probably shouldn’t have... you are way off base here

Blankenships stuff is owned by Van Lester. It's not a new longhorn either. The car he had at Eldora last year, was a year or two old.
