Dear Mr. Newbeevur, I don't know you, do not know where you live, and certainly have no reason to ever disrespect you. I do not enjoy arguing with anyone about anything. I attended the race Sunday evening; I had a comp ticket and was able catch a ride with some race-talkin' gentlmen who were heading to Sioux Falls/Brandon for the All-Star Show. To my surprise, the race was better than I had anticipated. Husets and the All-Star Organization had assembled a field of 25 - 410's. Madsen ran insane good, Dobbs was great, and Jac brought his "A"-game. For the most-part, the rest of the field performed excellent. The #82 BWW car: Timed 9th with an 11.191 (Quick-time was 10.861) and finish 2nd in the heat after starting 4th. Clint Garner, who I don't know, and never watched in a race before . . . did an excellent job . . . especially given the calibre of competition he faced, the fact that he had not been in a 410 for 5-6 years, and, that this was only his 2nd night in the #82. The Wild-WIng car demonstrated impressive power, and a competent "set-up". Unfortunately, an over-agressive Clint "kissed" the wall on turn two in either the 1st or 2nd lap, and the car accumulated some moderate damage . . . the rear suspenson on the right side became inoperable as a result of the "bump". Clint still pushed the car for remaining 28 laps car to a respectable 9th place fininsh. The BWW Team: I went to the pitts after the race and watched/listend intently as I was curious & intersted about the events that had ensued in the week prior. I never heard any disrespectful or foul remarks. In-fact, I heard the Crew Chief praise Jason Solwold for his driving & personal skills. I witnessed them help another team, as well-as interact with others. I watched Clint answer question and sign autographs/express his gratitude for the opportunity to drive the #82. By all measures, it appears as if this team has simply elected to be professional, to take the "High-Road" where personnel matters are concerned, and use a business-like approach for the team. In the future, this approach to running a racing team will most-likely be the "norm" for teams instead of the exception; big-dollar sponors are hard to find; apparantly this team understands that business-concept. In closing, I hope that you are able to attend/participate in many more races this season . . . and get your dollars-worth from every ticket, just like I did at Huset's on Sunday evening. Happy Racing!!

Vox you'd eat a shit burrito as long as it had a good tortilla wrapped around it wouldn't you? There's something wrong with this team. NOBODY works out there. Somehow? But their business model is definitely one to be followed. You're kidding right? Big time racing is about winning. Changing drivers every month won't make a winner. There's a lot wrong with this team. But, it won't be corrected until the owner opens his eyes and sees the real problem.

chucknutts: I have no idea of who you are, or where you are from . . . however, thanks for such a thoughtful/intelligent reply to the short-sighted and mean-spirited folks and their posts. This team is doing all they can to overcome what EVERY team goes thru at one time or another. The Ownership, the Driver, and the and the Crew Chief & Crew are doing their best to be competitive, to "Do Things the Right Way", and, to provide a entertainment for race fans wherever they perform. I think they will land "right-side-up" when all of the smoke clears. Once again, thank you from a 40 year veteran race fan.
As a 40 yr veteran race fan you have never heard of Clint Garner? You have never seen race or never watched before? Meaning you have not been to Knoxville or many races in the Midwest. Nor familiar with many SD drivers.

Vox it wasnt meant to be a knock on Garner, personally I like Clint.
Just the here today/gone tomorrow attitude the team has towards drivers.

Haha, good work Pit Crew! If voxman was a fan for 40 years and didn't know who Clint Garner he must have lived under a pretty big rock.
Good luck to this team, but they are quickly becoming the laughing stock of sprint car racing. I truely hope for the best for this team, I remember how good they were back with Loren Langerud when he was the driver to beat in the upper midwest 360 ranks.
(full disclaimer, I am a fan of all 5 guys that have driven this car in the last 2 years)

Remember the old IMCA class when Jeff Davis was helping Clint? Clint, Randy & Matt are good people.
