    Oh yea, he's just an average driver, but with special gadgetry he does pretty well. He can't seem to stay off the wall without help of some sort on his car. I wouldn't call him a clown tho. Unless you're talking about him saying k-ville is a dump. Lol, that was pretty fummy! Lolsdm!

      Never been a fan of Knoxville for a DLM race, but its hallowed ground for outlaw sprints and I respect that. Having a driver make negative comments after eating the wall pretty hard is pretty common place in my experience and not worth making a fuss over. I'm personally not a fan of aero dependent race cars of any type, but its where the powers that be have led the sport in superb ignorance. They've ignored history and logic in favor of short term gains and creating long term loss because like it or not the number of DLM's in competition through out the country is in decline. I hope one day they'll address the elephant in the room, but just like the Great Reset BS, it will moist likely be far too late and too much damage will have been done. Enjoy the next level, she won't be around long.

        I've heard all about the demise of late models for the last 15 or so years. I'm still waiting to send the flowers and they are starting to look a little rough.

            Cancer is often a slow death. When you go to your local track and they don't have late models anymore, that's blood in your stool.

            You feel fine because you went to Eldora and they had 90 cars.

              5-10 years ago, we were still getting full fields of cars at all of the surrounding tracks in our area. Now we are lucky to get half of that when we run supers every two weeks. Prp used to average 25-30 cars just for a weekly race, even with atomic racing the same night and drawing 20 cars, and the track only being 40mins apart. They both do good to get 20 now on opposite weekends.

              Id be lying if I said I wasn't concerned.

                The economy has something to do about lower car counts. Inflation has driven up the price of most everything.

                  In the last 2 or 3 years sure. Dlm have far outpaced inflation and have been disappearing way faster. When was the last time a track in Georgia had weekly super late models?

                    JD doesn't like the gumbo at knoxville. The surface is like no other, when the sprints cars run they create 2 grooves. 1 on the berm and 1 on the top, with them having 3 divisions of them and getting close to 90 cars weekly the track usually doesn't come around until feature time. 90 cars compared to 40, there's your difference why the track surface stays the way it is. That black dirt has proven it can beat the heck out of all challengers. I doubt JD was callin the facilities a dump, I think he was referring to the surface. Them boys like red clay, not black silt.

                      I agree and if you asked JD I'm sure he would clarify the facility itself is not a dump. He just doesn't like how the surface doesn't widen out during the night. Heck he might come back and win the darn thing tonight.

                            We all know Knoxville is not a dump. If fact it’s a premier track. JD screwed up and got in the wall coming off 4. He then finished it off in turn 1. To blame aero is BS. As far as I know he’s the only car with “aero” issues. I like sprint cars and LM equally. Knoxville is usually a 2 groove racetrack that produces great racing. JD is butt hurt by being slapped around by RHJ and Pierce this year. Aside from Eldora JD is ordinary. I was a fan. I’ll look elsewhere now.
