Rice At Florence

[Pennsboro32]

I was there and Josh put on show. He whipped every car out there. The fans loved it. Kid can wheel a car and runs good just about everywhere goes. Yes, best a Florence. So boo hoo if you want but that feature was a show and the star put butts in the seats

BTW when Florence is right, this is the track you will see That is what makes it special

I'm glad the kid won, it's cool seeing different people win national races, especially regional aces. However, he's 10x better at Florence than he is any other track in the nation.

Racing is entertainment and about satisfying the fans in the stands.
Take a track poll from last night and some of y'alls will be the minority.
And I'll take banging the cushion over finesse any day of the week. You want finesse, go watch pavement racing.

Now we’re putting asterisks by wins lol. Goofiest post I’ve seen in a while. Maybe you can call and tell them how you’d like the track prepped for the North South!

It’s all about putting fans in the seats and having a hometown boy win obviously helps with that. I agree the track prep was geared towards Rices driving style , anyone could tell what was going to happen well before it did. I’ve never seen the cameras follow someone from 9th to the lead, I think we saw every pass he made. Winger was coming to the front but no one would of known, I don’t think I saw him once in the 60 laps.

Should I go ahead and sell my N/S tickets and cancel my motel room now since the King family at Florence will have the track especially prepped for Josh?????
😀😀

Florence has always watered the top before every special feature that they've had, even well before Rice even started racing. That isn't anything new. Did you ever think that maybe he's so good at running the top there because they have always prepped the track that way so he has had plenty of practice at it? This may be the dumbest post ever on 4m and that is really saying something considering how high the stupidity bar has been set on this forum.

"every" is an indefensible word. They do it a lot. More so, back in the black ice days. In 2020 and 2021 the track was all topside most of the night, with a lot of moisture in it. This year, they hardly water it at all. It's become a cheap admission, cheap class track where they save money by parking The water truck. The exception is if they have supers, they go make the top fast for the feature. If supers are not on the card, they just let the track become what it becomes.

He's been pretty good at Atomic the times I've seen him run there.

Solid, yes. Probably his second best track but he's still no where near as good at Atomic as he is Florence.

So a young driver is better at his home track than he is anywhere else? Wow, that’s a shocker. The heats were clearly bottom dominant, and it looked like it might become a bottom lane snoozer if more track prep wasn’t done. So they prepped the track like any good promoter would. There was plenty of passing on the bottom too, in the consy and the feature. And since when did slide jobs and crossovers become bad racing? Geez, that’s the kind of stuff I pay to see. Without those kind of things, it’s basically asphalt racing. This is one of the silliest threads I’ve ever read on here. When the feature ended, I was thinking “nobody can complain about that one”!

I was wrong lol.

[Pennsboro32]

He's obviously better at his home track. But that's not the point I'm trying to make. He's down right dominant at Florence. He may have Florence more figured out than any other driver at any other track. It's impressive, especially from a regional guy. But lets not act like he's set the world on fire anywhere else.

[Highside Hustler25]

Spot on TerryM. The racing further back amongst the top 10 was really good. If you didn't enjoy that one, you're either blind, stupid, or just like to be negative.

Finesse.🖕

I see dumb people...

rockets like the cushion

And to the poster who used the year Pearson won as an example of how the track should be … do you remember who Pearson beat in a thrilling photo finish that year?

I’ll give you a hint: it was Josh Rice.
