Rough Driving at Fairbury

[Highside Hustler25]

Now that everybody has had the main course of $#!T, back to the topic of dirty driving...assuming this was directed toward Bobby's 2 incidents.
Manville??? He was a story just waiting to unfold. He was either overdriving the car or was just lose as a goose all night. I KNEW that one was coming from someone sooner or later and it happened with Bobby.
The other backmarker he spun definitely got punted but it looked worse than it appeared. These guys are told if they come to a stop, they go to the rear. If they don't come to a COMPLETE stop, they get their spot back. That's why guys drive through guys, staying in thee gas making it look more aggressive than it really was.
Bottom line is, he spun 2 guys out, went to the rear, took his penalty, and raced to a decent finish. I've looked, and I've seen nothing negative from him in any form of social media. He did post, finished 9th at FALS on to Tri-State.

Some people have a whole lot of negativity going on in their lives.

I object to this post!!! Young ones might be reading it

I was gonna say gosh darn it, fiddle faddle, my child sometimes reads this stuff. How classless and distasteful!!!!

I talked to Shannon after the race last night and asked him what his plans were for the rest of the tour. He pretty much said that he was still just taking it one race at a time.

I'll bet ya $1.75 he keeps on trucking unless things go South.

Yeah it was pretty obvious he doesn't have any respect for his fellow racers equipment

Bingo!

This is the bottom line right here and the posse wants us all to except it because he is a talented young driver??? Lol, Not gonna happen...

He will be taught how to respect others on the track in due time. Either he will learn it on his own or the other drivers will teach him. It's nothing a lot of other drivers haven't gone through. Like I said for me I'm not going to dislike like him because of others don't. I will call him or his team out when I see fit me but, that doesn't mean others might see it the way I do. The young man is very talented for sure. I like his aggressiveness but, he will need to learn to be a little patient at times and I realize sometimes that's a fine line.

Just saying you gotta look at it from both sides of the fence.. Huck, good showing at ppms, I see your getting it figured out.

There was something missing at Falls last night. Their brilliant track prep crew missed on this one. Short on catfish line, short on cushion lane. no 4 wide and didn't get Fallsey. I hope they get back to the magic they usually produce, because last night was just another bull ring.

I agree, why did they choose to not do anything to the track then worked it for an hour before the modified and street stock features.

Series points leader and two-time reigning Summer Nationals champion Bobby Pierce could do no better than ninth on Saturday after race officials made a judgment call that sent him to the rear of the field shortly after the halfway point of the race.
Battling Simpson for the third spot in heavy traffic, Pierce made contact with the lapped car of Tim Manville. Manville spun, bringing out the second caution of the night on Lap 28.
Pierce said he had been following a slower Manville for several laps and "barely tagged" him.
Race officials determined that Pierce was responsible for the mishap and assessed a track position penalty that left the Oakwood driver fuming.
"It seems like it's always something here and it always goes back to one thing, the Fairbury officials," Pierce said. "The bad thing is, these Fairbury officials are the ones making the calls and everyone knows they don't like me here, so whether it's right or wrong they're going to do it."

Pierce said he believes that other front-runners have skated in similar circumstances at other tracks in the series this year, including an incident involving El Paso's Ryan Unzicker and Larson at Sycamore.
"Nothing against Ryan, I love Ryan. But he took out Larson, hit him in the quarter panel and spun him around and Ryan gets his spot back," Pierce said. "Well, if they're going to do that in the same series, why don't they do that now? They have to figure out whether they're going to make it one way or not. You can't keep going back and forth and do this for this guy and that for that guy. I think we had a good shot at this race."

Just who makes the calls at these Summer Nats races anyway. Does the Track or WOO?

I race against some young drivers like pierce who have no respect for other her people's stuff sure he is good but tone it down who is gonna pay for repairs on cars he tore up I will bet their Dad and Mom sure as hell ain't gonna pay for it. I returned to racing after 35 years away it's not a late model but it still takes all I can save to do it. One thing I said when I said when I decided to do it again was I was not gonna take no crap from the little punk s sure enough had to teach one a lesson opening nite after he body slammed me coming off corner could have totaled his car but didn't only because I cracked throttle after he came across in front of me. Point is someone is gonna make pierce pay and it's gonna be ugly but he has it coming.
