    Babb started 15th not 18th and got as high as 2nd but, finished 7th. Just wanted to correct what I said earlier.

      3 wide what do you do bring your radar gun and if they arent going your desired speed go home? Lol speed has zero to do with racing quality lots of races on 1/3 and 1/2 miles are absolute snoozers...

        You are correct. It was shameful what they did to Tanner.

          English didn't get screwed by the officials it was the rule. The leader plus 1 and Pierce hadn't crossed the line before the caution came out so, they go back to last completed lap and Pierce was the leader on that lap.

              No illtsate32 I don't see most of the race tracks I go to tell you the time and the speed I go to 2 race tracks one Is a third mile they turn it in about 11 seconds I go to a 3/8 mile they turn in under 12 seconds once you go to races like this a race like this don't interest me at all.

                Thanks, I was reading a comment on facebook from Shannon Babb racing and it said 15th so I thought I was wrong about what I posted but, it really doesn't matter. He did come from the back to the front.

                  Tyler carpenter did absolutely nothing wrong other than beat 90 cars that are cost twice as much as his lol. That dude can wheel. English got into his quarter and had to slow down and babb drove through English. That incident was 0% tyler carpenters fault. I was just pointing out that many of babs " passes " were cars that got tangled up and sent to the tail.

                    Exactly. Carpenter was there to win and not make friends. You don't win by following the guy around in front of you. Go home Tanner!

                      "superstar"

                      Hey Huck -- were you there? Answer that first.

                      And take the quotes off superstar -- cuz that's what Babb is. Check your records. Better yet, ask any of the other "superstars".

                      Sounds to me like you just don't like the guy. Nothing wrong with that. But, HE was THE SHOW. Guess you like watching those guys crab around the bottom, lay down rubber, and come home with a nice check, huh?

                      I'll take what I saw from Babb any day.

                      Go 18!!

                        Huh?

                        Wow, really? What race were you watching? English got into his quarter after Carpenter repeatedly blocked the H___ out of him and parked it in the corner. Babb simply finished Tanner off and Babb was also being hit from behind at the same time. So, yeah -- Carpenter was holding English up. And yeah, it is his right to block. But geez, even he admitted he was pinching English off for several laps.

                        The fact is that English never said a word to Babb. But, he had plenty to say to Carpenter. Everybody saw that. No denying it. And that says a lot.

                        Go 18!!

                          I think if lanigan wouldn't have used the whole track coming off of 2, Babb was hard on the brakes a few times trying not to get into him, if he could have cleared him before the top was gone, he probably would have been able to get Pierce and get down, but that's racing.

                            It started around lap 36 or 37.. Carpenter was getting in back of English 2 or 3 laps, Then caution came out for b.Shepp. At drop of the green, Soon as green drop coming out of 4 carpanter was push on English. English almost got into the tire because of Carpenter. Then Carpenter then driving over his head into 1&2 and 3&4 almost spinning. All English had do was tap Carpenter rear and he would spun him. But English was racing him clean as he could how Carpenter driving. This why Carpenter was apologizing, he knew he started. This what making everyone question about the officials calls at times during this event.

                              Hard for me to say how far he would've got but it would've made a huge difference, i thought the same thing aswell.

                                I blame neither one. It's a bullring. Ya see it @ Macon weekly.

                                I do think Tanner English is gonna be a GOOD one. He showed tons of improvement this year and impressed me every time I seen him race.
