true but sh$t happens
I guess some folks can't handle the stress of not winning every week.
Some folks never got beat up as a kid……..” smile for the camera Mark”.
Oh, and grab a frozen hot pocket to put on your eye for the ride home…..it will help with the swelling.
Anyone happen to record this?
Just for the record, I hate it came to what it did because that’s always a “ black eye” for the sport and just reaffirms what a lot of folks think about dirt racing in general.
I don’t hate that there were black eyes given to those that deserved it though.
Its such a shame that the frustration level in the Rocket camp has risen so high that they have to resort to fisticuffs.
I didn't get to see the heat races live, I just saw the replay they showed later in the night, but I don't see what the Rocket team had to be upset about? It was dusty as heck, Fergy passed him, never touched him, and Sheppard drove it into the wall on this own. Did I miss something?
Was it 7 out of the top 10 all LONGHORNS also ?

Did Fergie hire Casey Roberts as a bodyguard? :)
Sounds like the only one who was really punished was Ferguson. Starting 4th in the main while Shep was scheduled to be mid pack in a B main. Fergy's crew gotta be smarter than that, know you won the fight on the track, laugh at him mock him carry on but dont touch him.
There's frustration in the rocket camp. 1 year ago, they could do no wrong. Fast forward to 2021 and they are clearly behind longhorn. There team consistency won them the woo title this year. I think Brandon may be busy this off season testing. Tracks start to slick off and these longhorns just get faster. Or all the bilsteins that much better ?
Not all of those top 5 Longhorns we’re on Bilsteins
Rockets have been going backward when the brown goes away for years now. The 90/200 LR doesn’t help much in the slick.
theres fighting in every sport, not sure why its a black eye to racing? Im sure Mark didnt like getting embarrassed by a team that dabbles on the weekends. Rocket1 is struggling, im sure DoD will still give them a nice PR this week though
Still hard to believe that no one captured any of it with their phone and posted it on social media.
All I know is the one team had a bad start and Ferguson did nothing wrong. I feel bad that he was disqualified. Richards has no gripe coming against Fergi. I have no dog in this fight, but for the one to blame the 22 is ridiculous
All teams need a "Don Hammer" to keep the enemy in check.
Yes, it takes a really tough guy to punch a driver strapped in a race car.
From what I've read and gathered, it was so dusty that it appeared to Mark that Fergy force Sheppard up into the marbles and that's what set him off. Clearly that was not the case from the replays but as others have said, Mark's frustrations just reached the tipping point. Sounds like one of Fergy's crewmen on a 4-wheeler ran into Mark (Not sure if Mark was walking or on a ATV himself) in the pits once Mark approached Fergy and that's when all he!! broke loose. Certainly been a lock down on 4-wheeler offenses as of late which I do understand.
Take this with a grain of salt as mis information spreads like wildfire in internet land.
The picture floating around shows Mark still sitting on the bike, and is about take a knuckle sandwich to the grill. Ive been apart of those mini bike vs utility quad deals. The guy on the mini bike is not going to be sitting upright waiting on something to happen.
I was away this weekend but am so sorry I missed this.
Found a video. No contact. How is it Fergusons fault that the Rocket House car can't handle at all in dirty air?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj-pUhBkb4E
So is there video of this on DoD or YouTube? I don't have Mav...
Does Nark Richards need a Jimmy Spencer tune up ? ?
From the video above, I guess Mark was mad that Fergy Sandblasted Sheppard but that wasn't certainly Fergy's issue. Track was awful.
