Waiting myself for the excuses! 

WingedSpeed....drw40.....grow the fuck up! 

You shouldn't be.....It isn't the team that comes up with anything negative or excuse like.....it's a handful of their fans.....no different than what you started here. If you want to give them shit....please just let them start it....that's all. Nothing personal believe me. I expect more from the fans here in the midwest, if that's where you are from. Sorry I was so blunt. I mean that sincerely.

I figured that out after seeing your thread about Tyler Reeser......regardless, I am sorry I shot my mouth off. It was a spontanious thing.;).  Posse fans giving it to Posse fans should be required to identify they are Posse so the rest of us know......:)

No "sir" in this household......just an old retired fart who loves family, God and sprint car racing. 

Does having been a race fan for a long period of time qualify oneself to be justified in stirring crap?

I dont know who the real people are behind the avatars but I think I am safe to say nobody from the dream team has been on here exalting themselves as untouchable.

I'm with Blazer on his 1st post...maybe not in those exact words. So they didnt show. Who really has a right to point?

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

If you are talking about Lincoln, I am pretty sure they went to port with kassidy Saturday night.  Boy that is a shame.  What a bunch of idiots.  

     Get off my lawn! ;)

Which makes you a 55 year old troll on a message board? Life goals.

Exactly! LOL!

I hear all these internet hero's talk about excuse this and excuse that.  I have never heard Lance give an excuse when he loses.  Sometimes he says his car wasn't good when he won but every interview you see with him after he finishes second or third,  he is the first to give credit to the guys that finish ahead of him.  I almost think he gives those guys too much credit some times.  Same thing with Don Kreitz Jr., never heard him give an excuse.  Other then those guys being hard on themselves and placing blame on their own shoulders, I've never heard these so called excuses. 

Now the key board warriors, that is a different story.  Both sides can be pretty rediculous at times but to say they the actual 69k team are the ones making excuses it ignorant because you are obviously not listening to anything they say when they are beat. 

It's hard for them to see reality through their hate clouded eyes.

Not sure if you guys are just stirring the pot or really have I’ll will towards the 69k team, but I’m assuming the latter. It’s sad that with car counts dwindling in Posse land that you can’t respect what they’ve accomplished the past few years or appreciate that they are fielding a car even though it’s  a part time schedule. I read through the negative chatter from some so called sprint car fans on this forum and just wonder where their heads are. 

It’s bad enough that there is so much Posse hating from other areas of the country, but to have ”posse fans” bash posse drivers is a real  head scratcher. Just listened to the Beerhill Gang TV victory lane interview with Tony Stewart. It’s always interesting to hear a drivers perspective on a subject. Maybe you should give it a listen. Prerhaps you’ll appreciate what we have here

Now I’ll give you a response I’m guessing you were looking for:

Tim Shaffer 0 for 4

Chad Kemenah 0 for 4

Paul McMahon 0 for 4

Carson Macedo should have been 0 for 4 short of a blown engine by the leader with 2 laps to go

Kyle Larson 0 for 4

Greg Hodnett 0 for 4

Lucas Wolf 0 for 4

Danny Dietrich 0 for 4

All but Lucas and DD made this years Knoxville Nationals and Lucas missed by 1 spot. Let the excuses begin!!!

All I can say is good racing all around all four nights....imo.....Young Freddie sure did get snake bit though when that engine let go the other night......but same can probably be said for Larson at BAPS

Hey Blazer00, I am a lifelong PA resident, been going to the Grove and other PA tracks for over 30 years.

The "dream team" is great, but they went to Mansfield and won the non-qualifiers race.  Left the porch, got spanked.  

Still haven’t seen the list of excuses. Guess you and WingedSpeed are still collaborating on one. While we wait, let’s take a look at some facts from last nights feature 410 race from BAPS Motor Speedway. 

Lance starts in P13. During the course of the race he manages somehow  to pass Zearfoss, Shaffer, Kemenah, Reitzel, Macedo, McMahon, and Larson (granted he was a dnf,but still counts as a pass in the box scores). Didn’t have to pass Hodnett, DD, or Lucas because he started and stayed in front of them. Despite beating fully 1/3 of the starting field in this years Knoxville Nationals A main, the 69k is the one team that “fell of it’s horse”. Gee, not sure then, what that means for the schmucks they beat.

So? One race doesn't determine what a team is all about......whether it be a show like the Mansfield deal or the Tuscarora 50.  I also don't allow myself to be overly swayed by what they do at Port and WG.  I'm not sure what you may have against the 69k team.....that's up to you. As for me I have nothing against the team or Dewease, I try to be objective in that regard but I do take issue with some of the cheerleaders.....and too with some of the naysayers. I owe you an apology for my first post, I'm sorry I was so stupidly blunt. Not many fans realize that when the Outlaws first started coming to WG the Posse won 5 of the first 8 races there. Once the Outlaws got a handle on the Grove the dominance began and it lasted a long time....up until Steve and Sammy got old and Donny was about the only Outlaw that had the place pretty well figured out. The new young guns making there way there are going to start putting a lot of pressure on the Posse again, as they gain WG experience. JMO, so we'll see.

Guess what? Nobody wins every race, no excuses necessary

Lance has won 11 out of 24, approximately 46%

Schatz is 17 for 52, about 33%

Yea, yea, different competition, we all know that. Nobody is saying he's better than Schatz.... but Lance beat him at the Grove this year

WoOgot ahandleon the Grove???? Or did they change the rules to slow the PA cars ???? It was the latter.

Yeh, right! LOL! Another excuse?
