Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

Ohhhh, wow! Thanks didn't know. That musta been a real nasty ride

I think the roll cage dug into the soft track. These roll cages need to be built with more head clearance. Not only for this but also to get out of the cars.

We donated a few trinkets for auction when Eddie and Jamie carrier did some fundraising for him after his accident.......I met josh for the first time last year at county line race for the kids in November and I would have to say that he is probably one of the most humble and sincerest people I have ever met.
What a great story if he were to get elected.........
Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

You are absolutely correct...... Back when Charlotte had the Colossal race, we were in town for it and it rained out so we went and checked out an indoor goKart track and Josh raced with us. Just acted like the most down to earth person, if he ran for office in WV I would be voting for him.

Oh yeah. He's a good guy and smart. I believe his Dad's stipulation was, you go to college, get a degree, I'll get you a car. He was helping Eddie, not sure if he still does. Either way, both of them I like.

Hands down the nicest driver I ever met at the track. He wasn't like all these rich kids that walk around with there noses up in the air thinking they are better than you. Pretty sure he has an engineering degree also. Dude is smart and can wheel the heck out of race car.

They aren't rich though. I'm not disputing anything you said, but he didn't come from a Dad who owned some big company and has more money than God. Or they think they do till they start trying to support a racing habit .
Yes he has an engineering degree. His Dad made him a deal, you get your degree, I'll help you with a car.
Shame what happened, but he has recovered pretty well, compared to what coulda happened.

I still see him around Carriers clan from time to time. Met him several times, he is a class act and one hell of a wheel man.

When it landed top down on the clay, the cage sunk into the track surface far enough for his head to make contact with the track and break his neck. It was the kind of break 90% die from, but for him it only ended his driving career. Car designs need to be looked at as speeds keep climbing and more and more cars end up on there tops due to the "Modern" hike up setups. JMO

I really miss BADFAST Josh McGuire on the track. But what he continues to do for the sport is amazing. He jumped up and started helping Charlie Floyd and his family as soon as Charlie got hurt. Josh and his wife Tracy and Eddie(Carrier) and his wife Jamie do a lot for our sport to help fellow racers. You can sometimes find Josh in the pit area helping turn wrenches on the #28 Carl Grover machine. But yes I wish we were talking about him winning some races!!!
Next Race: 3/31/18 "Bunny 20's" with Sprints, Late Models, Modifieds and Sport Mods
*We will also be having an Easter Egg Hunt @ 3:00 so bring the kids out for a fun and enjoyable Saturday night as we open the 2018 race season*
