Babb at the Dome!!!

[Kwd1253]

Yep your right he did finish 7th but, in my opinion from what I saw on the video he put on a show coming from 18th to 3rd banging the cushion or walls. He wasn't going to win it staying on the bottom so, he had to try something and after all he was there to win not run second or 7th in his case.

You are right your self. Everyone running the bottom does make the risk changing lines to the top rewarding at times. Everyone on the bottom because it's was over all best line. Down side when the front leaders of the pack bottle up everyone, the ones running top can get around them. Babb could have got 15-10k check if he went to bottom before he went full throttle banging it off the wall lol.

Well I would say Babb was only concerned about winning and had he stayed on the bottom that wasn't going to happen. Yes your right he could have pocketed more money had he moved down once he got to third but, he didn't until a few laps later after 3 or 4 cars passed him. whata coulda shoulda still put on a good show for the fans.

It was fun to watch. Good grief. Whats the problem? He wasnt impeding anyone. Complaining about Babb last night, its pretty much picking the fly (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) off a corn cob. What do you want a train around the bottom? There was enough of that anyway, dont ya think?

yeah what he said!!

Well I was pointing out people give hell to few drivers that do what Babb did, but then turn around praise Babb for it. If you going to cheer one on for doing that, dont crap on another one for doing it. Huck one the few that well call any driver out that does do that.

I really don't understand why people care how a driver runs his race as long as he doesn't recklessly take out other drivers. IMO Babb added some excitement to what was otherwise a mediocre bottom dominant race.

As far as who spun Tanner English goes, during the PPV Ben Shelton accurately called it as Babb spinning English. It was a racing deal though. On a bullring that sort of thing is gonna happen.

Knocking on his door? He passed him like he was standing still and then gets screwed. Of course they put bobby back up front when yellow came out

know the rules before complaining...... they are pretty much the same everywhere.

I just saw Ty Carpenter's post-race and he apologized for taking out English even though he wasn't the one that spun him. He probably meant that he knew he caused English to get spun. Really glad Ty had a good race.

Tanner English placed the blame all on Carpenter. This is from the DoD article here....

http://www.dirtondirt.com/story_9943.html

“Carpenter chopped me down on the restart and tried to put me in the uke tire (entering turn one), which is fine, whatever, that’s racing,” English said. “Come in the next corner, he did it again. Next corner, he did it again — and I just stalled the motor out and spun out.”

The way everyone was beating on each other, I was surprised there wasnt full blown fist fights in the pits that spilled out into the dome. Everyone appeared to have kept tempers in check. At least on TV it looked like it. Im sure there is alot of bent up parts on racecars this morning. If youre going to race on a little track like that....$hit will surely happen. Babb?...I thought it was entertaining as he!l ! He was either going to the front, or the RR of the car was coming off. It was the latter, but fun to watch.

[race14]

Shannon did try to get to the bottom, and I think he carried too much momentum into the bottom groove and pushed coming off which opened the bottom up and he couldn't get back down, so he was kinda stuck, so stand on it.

[Kwd1253]

That English spin was a bad deal. English had get on the breaks pretty hard on that last one not get into ty. English car kind of stalled and bad got into back of him. But that happen a lot through out the event. It’s almost either 1 you get on the binder, try not punt the car in fort of you, you stall or car behind you punts you. Or 2 don’t get on the binders and put them not to get punted by someone behind you.

As a driver, you can either follow in line and hope the track opens up, or you can get up on the wheel, put the hammer to the floor and make things happen. The guys who take the second approach are the ones I pay money to watch.

Babb learned how to drive a Macon I guess that is why he is a little better on a small track like this I'm sorry but a 60 mph race just don't interest me.

Little bullrings are not for everyone but, you are right Babb cut his teeth at Macon along with other bullrings in central IL

What is the rule at the dome about at fault spins and who goes to the back ? English spun but did not stop on the track. If blame had to be placed between him and Carpenter it certainly looked to me like Carpenter was at fault.
