We knew it was coming after that incident.

It sounds like this guy wants to race at a high level, and they have good equipment. I wonder who gets this seat?

Sad to hear I thought he was a pretty good driver for them, better than the guy he replaced. The timing suggests it could be related to what happened in SC a month ago, but since I know none of the parties involved personally It would be speculative of me to comment on the actual behind the scenes motivations. Since the article states he's an expectant father I hope this move to come off the road can salvage his relationship to the mother and that whatever happened was merely a temporary lapse in judgement. Family first is a good rule of thumb... imho.

I wouldn't call Hughes a huge improvement over Wil Herrington. Lateral move at best. Wil seems to be doing pretty well driving for Bruce Kane out of Maryland.

wil had more success in the car than spencer did, won some htf races and almost won the championship and led til like the last 5 laps at the dome the year erb won

Agree I think Will was better than Spencer.

I never said he was a "Huge" improvement, just better, read even performer. Wiil H can at times be very fast and then turn right around and do some of the dumbest things I've ever seen done behind the wheel. Like i stated earlier I know none of these characters personally, just from video here and there. Hope they all get their lives and careers back on track.

When Spencer first appeared on the national scene a few years back he showed promise and he was one I kept an eye on. Seemed like a good young guy who was living the dream. Maybe he just peaked as far as the big stage or maybe just hasn't got there yet. I don't know. I do know that I wouldn't like to be judged for some of my choices in life in my early 20s and I suspect that a majority of you wouldn't either. Best to learn from your questionable decisions and move towards improvement. I wish him the best and much success.

Joseph Joiner (HTF) will be in the seat at the Topless 100 this weekend.

Since they possibly hurt the less than 50 lap Clements & the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ens is about lapped out, this makes sense. Oil pump belt broke AGAIN, but last time, didn't really hurt anything. Rolled new bearings in and all good. They'd just got that engine back after $20K+ freshen.

Edit: Wonder if they took any of their shocks with them? Stuff they used to working with. Is JCM running a Longhorn or?

Edit#2: Rocket. Believe be Josephs first time in one?

I wonder what this means for their own team and Kubota Sponsorship? It was different when he went off and drove for Henderson they had a smaller sponsor, but Kubota I think would be less flexible on that. Just spitballin'
