    Chupp and bloomer makes some good points but these are also strong points to why a 15 year old shouldn't be running super latemodel

      I now know why Dirtcrow drives 10 hours north to see a race.

          He cost a guy $15,000 and the biggest win of his career. I’m not saying he should have gotten his a$$ kicked but it if you think you’re mature enough to be out there racing with adults, you need to 1. Not drive through someone coming to the checkers or 2. Be ready for whatever happens if you do. This isn’t rec ball where daddy can fix everything. You’re messing with people that do this for a living. Start taking fifteen grad out of their pockets and you can be sure they’ll come looking for you.

            I was sitting by the guardrail in turn 3 and I can tell you the 1 car didn't back up the corner. He lifted at the same spot for at least 10 laps. The kid didn't lift untill he had the 1 car turned around. The worst thing is, that wasn't the first stupid thing he did on the track. In the crate race, he turned Ricky Culpepper sideways halfway down the straight and drove through him wide open. The kids problem is that his dad is an idiot and the apple didn't fall far from that tree. Dad is lucky the 1 car driver and crew are a good bunch of guys. Hate to see someone pass a guy clean and get dumped by an idiot. Yes, I know he's a kid but if you play with grown ups at some point grown up things are going to happen. Just probably to his dad untill he turns 18.

                100%agree. He is in a situation where there are real men ( and women ) running for real money and maybe he shouldn’t be that’s another question. Even if he didn’t do it on purpose accidental actions still have consequences. The mob scene was inevitable at that point. I am not saying the kid should get his ass beat I’m just saying that he needs to take the heat for what he did on purpose or not… It happened. Maybe send him to supper with no dinner or take his Xbox away for a while… This will all fade from my memories soon enough

                  Spot on B_K. It'd be different if Jason drove him a little bit dirty to get the spot but he didn't . Kid messed up and 1 and 2 and lost the spot. Flat out dumped Jason in 3. I bet just about anyone would blow a fuse if someone cost them $15,000 over a coward move regardless of the person's age.

                    To add on. As crappy as the track was and the show was ran, the track did at least DQ the kid for his incident. I guess one thing they did get right on the night.

                      Maybe that incident also escalated this one a bit.

                        Also, I think you just have to understand the competitive nature of people, how much work people put in these cars, and the crushing blow when you have it stolen in a bush league way. Competitive people want to win. Hell I spent $500 last year to win a canned food drive for my daughter’s first grade class because I overheard another parent tell a different teacher there was no way they’d lose. The prize was a pizza party I could have thrown for $60. I would have gladly spent more too. The prize is sometimes irrelevant. It’s the satisfaction that means everything to some. You get that feeling taken away along with $15,000 and I totally understand the scene that played out.

                          Very cool dad.

                            Chupp N Bloomer fan

                            "So no one can look at the video and see Hiett back up his corner entry? Or put theirselves in a 15 yr old kids shoes. The kid absolutely dumped him, no doubt, but I don’t think it was intentional as it looks. He’s going for his first win, ya just lost the lead two seconds earlier, he just messed up. He’s 15, overdrove, in the gas as Hiett is braking, just totally messed up."

                            It might have not looked intentional to you, but he stated in his post race interview he flat out dumped him on purpose. Said he'd wreck his own momma to win $15,000. I will give him this. If he's going to play the bad guy in this situation, he is totally owning up to it. Just got to remember his own words when/if the shoe is on the other foot. Looks like it will be quite a bit if he keeps driving this way. You can see his interview as well as the incident in the crate race on his team's FB page if you have FB.

                              Daddy needs to take the car away.

                              Edit. I've been to FB. This kid has been conditioned to be a taker.
