T-Carp, RTJ, Dudes, and Special Olympics

[dirty-white-boy]

1. Tyler Carpenter with a mic in his face is bad for sport. He sure makes us all look like a bunch of trash dont he? While it was entertaining in '19 its really only gotten worse since then. BUT I guess maybe there is a crowd for that type of behavior?

2. RTJ. Come on man sure its heat of the moment but really? Then the next day say Im sorry and give a whopping $500 to Special Olympics as a way to apologize is laughable! (Carpenter called someone 'pussies' but that must be a word thats ok to say now.

3. Tyler Carpenter's shoes. Gateway Facebook page says he paid a 'fine' and the issue was addressed. Did he buy Cody's lunch? What exactly is a fine? If it was not for everyone on social media pointing it out nothing was going to be said. I noticed at least 2 times last night guys with no gloves on. Does nobody check this safety stuff anymore or are we going to have someone burn a limb off to wake up the promoters to this?

Just being a keyboard warrior and pounding keys!!

Ricky Thornton is just a crybaby b!tch. Id like to buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth.

[dirtcrazy4u]

Where's his Ole lady ? Him talking about puss*es is funny. He's never passed on one no matter what it smelled like.

You need to be careful who you shove that mic in front of especially at a race like this.

It’s funny to me that people are so concerned with others lives. If it doesn’t involve you, why do you care?

[jr29]

Good on RTJ for admitting he made a mistake.
Jack Hewitt gets a lot attention for his "tell it like it is" interviews and I used to think he was entertaining. The older I get I kinda think that kind of stuff is embarrassing and I appreciate Ronnie Johnson, Freddy Smith, Jimmy Owens and guys of that ilk more and more.

[Clump O Clay]

I would bet that should Tyler win tomorrow night, he won't get the attempt in the Niece Motorsports truck ride at Knoxville. The overlords at NASCAR won't want that on the national stage.Keep that circus back in the hills of the Ohio Valley.

I wondered about that too.

The real losers, sorry to say are the children. Imagine the mouths on those little girls. Real shame.

You have no idea. Those girls don’t stand a chance.

Sticking a microphone in a riled up racers face is stupider than the stuff they end up saying. It's unrealistic to expect pointless, politician answers with no emotion out of people THAT RACE DIRT CARS. The announcers and commentators are to blame as well as fans that expect complete objectivity.

[B_K]

The least surprising thing about the entire thing is that the guy wears Hey Dudes….. Of course he does.

It was not entertaining in "19 (though the juvenile part of the fanbase will love it). All it does is illustrate his limited vocabulary. It is embarrassing.

[Morgs153]

I've got a pair of Dudes. Those are some comfy @ss shoes. Since I never wear socks in them I wouldn't recommend them for driving shoes.

Back when I was a race tech guy I had to wear fire resistant socks.

I've been around this sport for a long time, I have never saw anyone specifically checking a drivers safety clothing. I've witnessed the safety of the car checked on occasion, but as far as what the driver wears, that usually gets pointed out in the same way that it did with Tyler. If the truth is being told, the hey dudes probably provide as much protection as some of the wore out shoes you see at a racetrack every weekend.

And no, I'm not defending Tyler. I was ok with 2019, but I'm over it now. All I can think of when I hear him talk is the comment Jimmy Mars made about Bloomquist, "Just try being normal once, you might like it".

[Drop Shock]

Normal is not possible with that bunch, he acts the same way when he wins a local show at Ohio Valley even though they have better equipment than 99.9% of the people they race with on most occasions

They might have better equipment than half the field at the tracks they run. Todd Brennen, Ronnie Mayle and the Burdette's don't bring garbage to the track

You don’t get to win as many big races in the area that he has the last 5-6 years and have all the new bolt ons for free or at dealer cost and get to cry poor mouth about it. If you can’t afford it go run a hobby stock. They kid that one last night worked just as hard as Tyler to get on the stage and guess what he didn’t have to act like a complete moron about it

This event is a trainwreck on the track and they look to interview as many drunk people as they can. This is Jerry Springer dirt track racing.

[lmcryn2]

This is Jerry Springer dirt track racing.Yet, perfect for this Jerry Springer type forum...

[CIRF]

ROCK ON BOYS!! There is no place for manners, class and dignity in dirt late model racing.

[ride height]

I’m not sure what to think about the Carpenter VL interview, but I can assure you, he sold T shirts with that stunt.

[84wedge]

This is really an embarrassing production. How many drivers and mechanics are in the pits and they talk to numbskull drunks in the crowd?

[Tireguy17]

Exactly…..Get to the pits and get info there instead of randoms in the stands.

[MADCAPRACING22]

Bunch of negative cods. Negative…negative…..negative.

[Kryptonite17]

I wear Hey Dudes for iRacing... best racing shoes on the market! LOL

[Mod Runner]

So Brandon Sheppard was racing Donny Schatz Super Late model at the Dome. Does anyone know why he drove Donnys race car ?

[dirtcrazy4u]

Ah, maybe because Donny asked him to.

Donny is really close with Mark Richards and the Rocket1 crew.

[NeedforLM$peed]

Now you know how we feel when you ask dumb questions...

At least we dont throw bikes at each other, which the outlaws made sure everybody seen and knew about. Lets not forget CJ Leary stomping on the hood of Thorsons car this year. Thorson in return gave him 2 big birds in victory lane, in front of everyone. I guess that no manners, class, and dignity does live in open wheels too. Some of us are just blind to see it.

STFU, Quit acting like your beloved open wheel guys are such angels.

LOLOL!!

They're not particularly my beloved open wheel guys but it's clearly apparent that a nerve has been tweaked! Never made any statements about the righteousness of any other divisions. Just stating a fact.

It's evident that the ever popular, but mildly effective "whataboutisms", serves as blanket justification.

You also certainly have your beloved open wheel driver "indiscretions" down pat and saved in your seemingly vast memory bank. Bravo! LOL!

It's good to get my week started with a smile.

[dirty-white-boy]

Its just sad that they guys will take chances like that in today's safety conscience world. Even worse, the rules makers and enforcers seem more interested in your deck height than what you are wearing or how old your belts are.

I guarantee you had he burnt his feet in an oil fire they would have been begging for donations via GoFundMe!!!

[NeedforLM$peed]

Just because they aren't YOUR beloved open wheel guys doesn't change the fact. lol

I think there's more dummies on here than actual knowledgeable people.

[fastford]

The real losers, sorry to say are the children. Imagine the mouths on those little girls. Real shame.

while I personally dont care for it either HH , as far as the little girls go , you better lock them in a room with no TV because they see worse than that on the Disney channel ....

Boy you sure were quick on the trigger. No nerves were "tweaked" here. Its hard for me to get uptight over a guy that probably cant find the drain plug on his car. You're the only one on this forum that laughs at his own responses. That is something to be proud of.

[Pennsboro32]

Got to remember who we are dealing with here guys….mental midgets.

I'll assume this witty pearl of wisdom is directed at me. LOL!

Facts are facts and lowlife cretins are lowlife cretins regardless of what they drive or what they do. I made no mention of "open wheel guys" but you did. As I said, irrelevant "whataboutisms" and hurt feelings abound. I merely stated a fact and that fact triggered two angry responses.

As far as "dummies" go, you're correct, the world is full of them and this place has no shortage of them! If you don't want to see one don't take a chance of seeing one by looking in the mirror! LOL!!

Another astute and well thought out response full of wit and high minded intellect and colloquialisms! I'm so lucky it's a bit of a slow day in the office and I have a little time to waste with all this pertinent clownery.

You're two for two and counting in regards to responses claiming you're not tweaked! The more you respond the more you make the point that you're "tweeked" feelings aren't hurt. Keep them coming.

Which drain plug are you referring to?

I suppose laughing at you could be considered a minor source of pride. LOL!

I shouldnt have to tell which drain plug. The ones of us that know, dont have to ask which one im referring too. Keep on laughing at yourself. I bet you have a very punchable face, and no friends. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't argue with one of the head dummies...

CIRF your "holier than thou" attitude doesn't disguise the fact that you're a slack-jawed mouth breather in reality. Pretty grammar can't hide your low IQ.

I believe this is a personal record of eliciting derogatory incursions from no less than 6 aspiring 4M Rhodes Scholars.

I'm flattered, delighted and most of all, entertained! Insert smile. Lets do it again, real soon!

[baker1b]

All you guys whining about this stuff are probably dusting your participation trophies as you comment. People say things when they're mad or hyped up.
