Ferguson & Sheppard DQ

[powerslide]

Sounds like the only one who was really punished was Ferguson. Starting 4th in the main while Shep was scheduled to be mid pack in a B main. Fergy's crew gotta be smarter than that, know you won the fight on the track, laugh at him mock him carry on but dont touch him.

There's frustration in the rocket camp. 1 year ago, they could do no wrong. Fast forward to 2021 and they are clearly behind longhorn. There team consistency won them the woo title this year. I think Brandon may be busy this off season testing. Tracks start to slick off and these longhorns just get faster. Or all the bilsteins that much better ?

Not all of those top 5 Longhorns we’re on Bilsteins

Shocks get too much credit. That sticker on the tube means nothing. Can you do out of the box stuff to get an edge? Sure. I'm not gonna be able to buy that in any brand.

Rockets have been going backward when the brown goes away for years now. The 90/200 LR doesn’t help much in the slick.

Was it 7 out of the top 10 all LONGHORNS also ?

If the phenomenal drivers Kyle Larson and Bob Pierce jr would have been at the DTWC, there would have been only 1 Ricket in the top 10 !

theres fighting in every sport, not sure why its a black eye to racing? Im sure Mark didnt like getting embarrassed by a team that dabbles on the weekends. Rocket1 is struggling, im sure DoD will still give them a nice PR this week though

Still hard to believe that no one captured any of it with their phone and posted it on social media.

All I know is the one team had a bad start and Ferguson did nothing wrong. I feel bad that he was disqualified. Richards has no gripe coming against Fergi. I have no dog in this fight, but for the one to blame the 22 is ridiculous

All teams need a "Don Hammer" to keep the enemy in check.

All teams need a "Don Hammer" to keep the enemy in check.

Or a Casey Roberts to provide corrective measures to other drivers’ misdeeds. Getting popped in the mouth generally corrects douchey antics and is far cheaper than using race cars as weapons.

Yes, it takes a really tough guy to punch a driver strapped in a race car.

From what I've read and gathered, it was so dusty that it appeared to Mark that Fergy force Sheppard up into the marbles and that's what set him off. Clearly that was not the case from the replays but as others have said, Mark's frustrations just reached the tipping point. Sounds like one of Fergy's crewmen on a 4-wheeler ran into Mark (Not sure if Mark was walking or on a ATV himself) in the pits once Mark approached Fergy and that's when all he!! broke loose. Certainly been a lock down on 4-wheeler offenses as of late which I do understand.

Take this with a grain of salt as mis information spreads like wildfire in internet land.

Who did that?

[bleedblue55]

Yes, it takes a really tough guy to punch a driver strapped in a race car.

Almost as tough as the guy who hits a mini bike with a 4 wheeler
