You can only beat the other cars that show up!
Ginger Sweet and Golden Boy Larson could have been there, but were not.

you are right about that.....a lot of drivers that wouldn't make any of the fields agai the HL or Woo. Don't go patting Sammy on the back for winning against nobody.

I'd put Sammy in the same category as a Corey Eliason. Remember that stupid analogy genius?

Lol, Slammin Sammy beating up on nobodies! But he 69. He could have beat them with a 360 and all of them having a 410.

I don't know about beating them with a 360, but it is damn impressive for him to still be competing in a 410, let alone win a race. Love him or hate him, he has been one of the best to ever strap in a sprint car.

Not saying I know every sprint car driver's name but I never heard of even one of the 11 other drivers that showed up. 2k to win, $250 for 5th.

This arguement puts me in mind of one night the people next to me were laughing about Jim Kennedy not competing for the win in 305's. He was 82 at the time. I said there comes a time when you gotta give credit for being able to get in and out of the thing. Jim is still racing some I think. I am not sure of his age now.

I guess you think that it easy to drive a 410...maybe if your young....hats off to Sammy....never was a fan
but takes a lot of balls to run one of those machines....esp at 69....keep kicking ass Sammy....makes us old guys feel good

Father time usually wis . Sammy was one of the best. Names I remember Cassius Clay Archie Moore Babe Ruth all did what they loved for too long.Sammys pass of Gravel was a highlite reel moment. Just to be able to still do it and have the fans cheer is an addiction. I personally raced until 75 and told someone after an average finish I used to be competitive now I am just a competitor. On one of Sammys interview after being taken out in his mind was all these kids need is a pit pass to show up and race and many dont know how to drive. Even if the competition was average STILL WINNING was the winner and also beat all the ones that didnt show up. Terry is still good but 10 years younger!

Sammy could have won that race with a 305. But still winning any race at his age is remarkable. I just hope I can still drive on the highway at his age, much less wrestle and control the baddest type of race car on the planet around a track for 25 laps.
It'll be interesting to see if they show up to the Powri race next week. I assume that's what the practice night was for.

I agree that it was a pracice night. Paul Hart has been racing, and now owning, sprint cars for a long time. Last year he had TMez in the car for a few races. I also hope that Sammy is in the car for eh Powri race on Saturday.

You are so insulting. Who in the HELL are you to say these people are nobodies?
Answer this question without the " I have the fact" and the rest of the crap you spew.
Just answer with how the hell you feel you can put down anyone driving a racecar as a nobody.
After that you just need a punch in the face
