Thats just a product of that kind of racing. Tcarp done nothing to cause that wreck. The 9 got into him and all hell broke loose.

Ohhh I'm not high and mighty I promise! Carpenter then ran mouth in victory lane like that, shame. I agreed with some things said that track equalizer and not making friends etc but some not needed.

So what's scoop with Gordy?

Simple solution for you. Turn the volume on what ever your listening on OFF.

Remember that time Carpenter got ran off the H€ll tour after like 4 days...

Hey, to each all. I miss raw excitement but this game has evolved a bunch and money huge. I like carpenter, schlenk, and more regional guys over stars but want to see them big time too and with money thrown around you just can't do that anymore unfortunately. You'd be hard pressed to find Owen's or davenport give interviews like that. Days of my favorite ever, Jack Hewitt, are over. FYI, yes I'd love a tyler carpenter repeat.

For what worth I remember years ago helping friend and carpenters we're winning often in east southern Ohio and hearing about them. We went to midway for I think a Monday alms show after Eldora. Short version this whooped pickup with so-so looking car pulled in on open trailer and heard was tyler. He if remember right was 15 and passenger in pickup, well car didn't look like much but it was good. Don't think won but was upfront. Guys that normally fast couldn't hit broad side of barn with shovel coming in toters etc

It might be entertaining to watch but come on, clean it up a little bit. Wonder why dirt racing gets looked down upon (and it shouldn't), people turn this on for the first time.... On another note, I predict Hoffman will top three the late model tonight (win in the modified, second in the midget)- that is the kind of thing people should be talking about.

[Tireguy17]

Be arrogant...Be edgy...Race to win and not be friends...Basically be Bloomer in his haydays.

But race people with respect and win because you were the best on the track not cuz you squeezed your competition between the walls. Tyler has to drive better to make the talk valid IMO.

[B_K]

Talk your talk, but when you end up on your lid you better not say sh!t.

[Pennsboro32]

This is dirt racing fellas. Say what you want but look at the pub it’s getting. You want pretty boys, who can’t say crap, go watch it on FS1/Fox.

[riddle28]

id bet he dont win saturday if he tries all the blocking he was doin last night

[Drop Shock]

I’m just sick of the small team poor pitiful me talk. Guy has had brand new parts to go on his brand new racecars for about 6 years now. Act like you’ve been there before

Carpenter did what he thought he had to do to win last night and can't really fault him for that. But running his yap afterwards may come back and bite him. A lot of experience in this sport for a lot of years has taught me, if nothing else, that ticking off your competition will often motivate them to come back at you harder than you expect. You'd better be ready to expect the same blocking and/or rough driving you gave out.

Racing can be a very humbling sport and allowing yourself a few minutes to cool off afterwards before running your mouth, especially at tight tracks where you should know going in that it's not going to be a cakewalk.

A pro like Thornton could also benefit from this advice.

[Drop Shock]

If you have a DirtonDirt account read what Sheppard has to say about the situation. That’s a guy that understands the sport as good as anyone, and he calls it like he sees it. The 28 is a jackwagon

He sure didn't make any friends last night. Well said!

I am not a Carpenter fan at all but I didn’t think he did anything wrong that caused Thornton and Sheppard to get taken out. That said, I don’t think he will ever attract any serious help sponsorship wise because of the way he handles himself off track. Sometimes you just need to shut up and let people wonder if your an idiot. He removes all doubt every time he speaks.
