    2. RTJ. Come on man sure its heat of the moment but really? Then the next day say Im sorry and give a whopping $500 to Special Olympics as a way to apologize is laughable! (Carpenter called someone 'pussies' but that must be a word thats ok to say now.

    3. Tyler Carpenter's shoes. Gateway Facebook page says he paid a 'fine' and the issue was addressed. Did he buy Cody's lunch? What exactly is a fine? If it was not for everyone on social media pointing it out nothing was going to be said. I noticed at least 2 times last night guys with no gloves on. Does nobody check this safety stuff anymore or are we going to have someone burn a limb off to wake up the promoters to this?

    I've been around this sport for a long time, I have never saw anyone specifically checking a drivers safety clothing. I've witnessed the safety of the car checked on occasion, but as far as what the driver wears, that usually gets pointed out in the same way that it did with Tyler. If the truth is being told, the hey dudes probably provide as much protection as some of the wore out shoes you see at a racetrack every weekend.

    And no, I'm not defending Tyler. I was ok with 2019, but I'm over it now. All I can think of when I hear him talk is the comment Jimmy Mars made about Bloomquist, "Just try being normal once, you might like it".

      Normal is not possible with that bunch, he acts the same way when he wins a local show at Ohio Valley even though they have better equipment than 99.9% of the people they race with on most occasions

        They might have better equipment than half the field at the tracks they run. Todd Brennen, Ronnie Mayle and the Burdette's don't bring garbage to the track

          You don’t get to win as many big races in the area that he has the last 5-6 years and have all the new bolt ons for free or at dealer cost and get to cry poor mouth about it. If you can’t afford it go run a hobby stock. They kid that one last night worked just as hard as Tyler to get on the stage and guess what he didn’t have to act like a complete moron about it

            This event is a trainwreck on the track and they look to interview as many drunk people as they can. This is Jerry Springer dirt track racing.

                  I’m not sure what to think about the Carpenter VL interview, but I can assure you, he sold T shirts with that stunt.

                    This is really an embarrassing production. How many drivers and mechanics are in the pits and they talk to numbskull drunks in the crowd?

                      Exactly…..Get to the pits and get info there instead of randoms in the stands.

                            So Brandon Sheppard was racing Donny Schatz Super Late model at the Dome. Does anyone know why he drove Donnys race car ?

                              Ah, maybe because Donny asked him to.

                                Donny is really close with Mark Richards and the Rocket1 crew.
