ONeil completely cleared Mahoney out of 2 and instead of coinciding the spot it was Mahoney that drove into the ass end of ONeil which then resulted in him getting crossed up and eventually being run over in 3 and spinning out.

Watched it twice on DoD - ONeil cleared him.

Same thing I saw

Is Mahoney and Alex Bowman team mates? Their cars look similar.

Yes, both are Bowman cars

Does Hudson drive his dad's old stuff or does he drive for a different owner? The kids that grew up around the tracks and more importantly have a dad who was a major player in the game always seem to get opportunities that a regular Joe won't get. Look at Devin, or Bobby though, they got the opportunity and can really wheel a racecar. I think Hudson will be a major player before long. I know he won several crate races but a team owner will invest in a last name because they know that their old man will always help and will give those valuable pointers that help win races. I heard Hudson in a DOD interview say his dad always tell him to keep the car straight and don't buzz the tires. Hidson seems to have his head on straight and I think the kiddo is gonna be just fine! Back in the 80s-90s you never seen these teenagers run up front. The veterans back then made them earn it and wouldn't show much respect to the young guns, a pecking order so to speak. Totally different now. How the times have changed lol

He has boat loads of natural talent. He will be a star.

Exactly!

Lot of respect for that young man in victory lane. No need to apologize Hudson. You slid him clean. It was Cody's job to get by on the bottom. Instead he elected to make contact.

I'm liking what I see in this young racer. Another future star to add to the mix.

As far as the racetrack? Looked like a well prepped surface. Great racing.

that track has lost its true character with the walls and more banking

Ditto. I can't stand his dad but that pass was clean. Mahoney took himself out.

The kid has talent. Driving for a guy willing too out spin the entire field. I can't believe the kid ever gets beat. Brownstown has a core group of guys that are putting on some of the best shows in the region every Saturday night. Mahoney(dosent race every week because he has to work to race),Stapleton, Joe Godsey,Hines(runs the BoB Series and it's all on his own dime) Bailey(up and comer),Magner,Gilpin(when he shows up)....and we have seen Chilton and Linville several races......

Hudson may have cut that slide job a little short, but Mahoney made the choice of whether there would be contact or a cross over move. Slide jobs go that way.

The walls are a good 30 feet from the edge of the racing surface. I race there almost every weekend. As usual, you have no idea what you are talking about.

The problem at Brownstown right now is the insanely sharp drop off the banking in the corners AND on the straights. Particularly the back stretch which has claimed about a half dozen cars this year.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Yeah, no issue with walls.

where you racing there in the early 80's I thought not

[Matt49]

I was there watching in the early 80s. What is your point. The walls are not a factor now just as they weren't back then. Not the wooden beams back then could really be called a "wall".
The point is, the way the track is configured today, the walls have ZERO impact in the racing line available. Period end of discussion.

[old fan]

yeah you were what 5 years old if that back in the early 80s i know I checked so you wouldn't know

[Matt49]

Dude, you're not making any sense. If your point is that the walls are closer to the track today than they were in the early 80s, that is completely different from saying that walls are having a negative impact on the racing today. Which is what you implied and you've implied it before. The walls are a non-issue. Don't take my word for it, ask ANYBODY that races there. Saying that the wall being put up on the backstretch made the racing worse is like saying you can see the Eiffel Tower better if you drive 10 miles east.

Now, the rumor (from some pretty reliable sources) is that they ARE going to knock the crown off the straights and calm the corners down before next season. The track will be slower but the racing will be better. Before they crowned the straights, a guy could drive pretty far out and make a lot of momentum. Still a good 10-15 feet from the wall even when the track is flat and can be widened out.
