wasnt there still waiting on the cushion to put it up. But even the announcer was calling it back so it must have been a bad call

That start was awful.  K. Swindell passed about 4-5 cars up the middle before he was out of turn 4 as well.  The announcers actually announced that the start would be called back and then when the cars were in turn 2 and the green was still out said "Oh I guess we aren't calling that one back."  The only person that witnessed it that didn't think it was a bad start was Clark I guess.



Is it Doug Clark's call to make or does that come from race control up in the tower?

Clark is blind in one eye and has selective vision out of the other one depending on if you're his buddy or not.

Terry like him or not, Its not like he punched the flagman or worse.  He isnt afraid to speak his mind.   He operates his program with a lot of Heart.  I used to think he was a prick,  got to work with him once and realized well, he may sometimes still be a prick but, I dont care he is there to win and has a huge amount of mental focus yet has good humor also.  He is there to win and nothing else.

Tmac has every right to be pissed. It is what he does for a living, and if someone is cheating you out of money you would probally throw a fit too! Plus Terry is not an idiot, he knows by doing that he will most likely sell 1-2 more t-shirts. Tmac is a good guy who is just trying to make a living. 



what if sammy had done that would you have the same opinion

I got a better idea. How about after the races you come down to the pits with a sign that says I'm the tough mccarl fan and I'll find you haha

Are we sure it was T-Mac saying the racial slur, was it by chance a fan saying the racial slu?

I am not going to copy and paste the text but if you want to read about it look for Justin Clark's Facebook page for more info. It will be interesting to see if any drivers stay away from Osky tonight.

if it was Sammy I would feel same way. This boils down to costing a guy money while doing their job. No I don't care for Sammy but the start was terrible and it affected more people than McCarl, he's just the only one with balls to say something.!

I've only missed about a dozen Knoxville races since 1988 and that was the worst start I can remember in all that time that wasn't called back.....  Usually I have seen Doug Clark call back a bad start and then let an even worse start go on the next try......   As for the Clark's not flagging the Osky race, nobody goes to the races because of who the flagman is....  Won't make one bit of difference....  There are several flagmen in Iowa who are just as good as the Clarks....  And any body who thinks Terry McCarl isn't going to rant and complain about that lame of a call just doesn't know Terry at all.....  He is a very candid person and always says just says exactly what he thinks, right or wrong..... He can drive a race car and the races that he promotes are always entertaining.....
