Huck vs Gray

[pierceFAN]

I got to tell you guys a story....and I don't want to embarrass this driver so I won't mention his name...I'm not sure he's even on this board....anyway...he raced at crown point and Kankakee and tracks around there...no sponsors...car pushed like hell in every corner...struggled to make the consi if you get my point...well he used to go to Eldora for the world 100...he was kind of a laughing stock...I knew guys in racing that would mock him and joke about him being there...well one Eldora weekend he was done racing for the weekend and as usual he didn't make the show...we were standing around the fire just bullsh!tting and someone said to him jokingly...why do you bother coming here?....here was his reply...I thought it was classic and pertained to this thread....he said...."I know when I pull in I'm not going to make the show"...back then the format was a little different...he then said..."I may not even get to race...but for 2 Laps I get to drive faster than I ever have before"....how can you criticize I guy for that...carry on huck...carry on gray

Huck can say it anyway he wants too, but when he claimed he would qualify to an invert and beat gray by a couple seconds in qualifying( or whatever outlandish predication it was) a few years back........he completely lost me at taking him remotely seriously, at doing anything.

And for what it's worth on Brian, I know lots of teachers and coaches that coach and teach but can't do what they coach and teach all that good.......maybe Brian is one of those guys.

IMO, He is far from clueless as some of you try to make him appear.

Some of the best drivers aren't that good at making good adj at the track!

Maybe, BG needs to hire Serge to make the calls! lol

I'm gonna run the World next year and I'll make Huck and Gray look like Bloomer & JD...

[fastford]

I wonder if the people that mock the backmarkers are the same ones that complain about car counts?

I don't think any of us are knocking backmarkers. Last year was a lot of fun watching those 2 go at it. Huckster talked all that noise and couldn't back it up on the racetrack. He definitely had superior equipment but he got outrun by BG.

Those 2 got a lot of mentions last year and this year, based off the antics on here. I sent Rigsby an email and asked him to cover it at last years world. He replied " wont touch it with a 10 ft pole"! But if you noticed they both were mentioned quite a bit.

Essex said Brian "50 shades of" Gray was his favorite racer! lol

James Essex is my favorite announcer, next to Dustin Jarrett .

Its not too hard to be a favorite "racer" when out of 107 teams that show up there was only 10 or so to pick from! Show me someone who loves racing as much as myself. I don't think there is anyone that cares any more than I do about racing and its future .

[TheJet-09]

I think John Gill once said you weren't a real racer unless you went to Eldora, so both Brian and Huck have one up on me. I give them both credit for the effort, and as with any race, I'd rather hear there were 107 cars than 105.

Props to both for competing in the biggest dirt late model race on the planet.

Go get 'em Brian....
