Cleveland's Jarrett Choatte was the races Fast Qualifier earning the $100 bonus from The Flooring Center.

Are they going to bar Brian Pritchard for getting out of his car and starting a fight with that guy? Fight didn't go too good for him, but i don't think they can bar him for that. -
Don't see how they could bar any of the drivers, since the officials backed up and let 'em fight. I don't necessarily agree that it should have happened in a "family environment", but it is grass roots racin'. I kind of admire the officials for letting them settle it among themselves, and not on the track where innocent racers could get their equipment torn up. It took "Boys have at it" to a new level! Thought it was pretty funny that the PA was playing Kung Fu Fighting during the battle also!
Now the 2nd fight...that was a different story. That one got out of hand in the infield. Guess you could say one thing leads to another. (But it does bring fans to the stands! Just like the old days)Comment

The Truth
Judging from what Jimmys face looks like I would say he got the bad end of the deal. Sure he got a running shot and got him to the ground but even as the video shows it doesn't look like Jimmy won that fight by any means. I mean sure all his following gets on here and pumps it up like he won,"there his buddies and there all 18 - 25 years old. In reality he didn't win that. He come down that hill like a Walrus trying to get to water. It's Jimmy and a Bunch of Kids that is going to get the place shut down. They run it to death online and at the racetrack. Family is going to always play favorites it's a little saying called "Blood is thicker than water". I love the track and love working there but is it just me noticing this or is everyone involved in the mess this weekend RELATED to CHAD ELLIOTT????Comment
