The most basic thing about driving a sprint car is HOLD YOUR LINE.  Freddie drives in a Z pattern so much that I'm not suprised DD gave him the heave ho in turn 3, BUT as someone who has lost 2 relatives on the racetrack, I don't condone ever using the car as a weapon, ever.  

Ok Mr. Kool Tool, let me explain how this whole thing works. The object of the game is to get a racecar in front of other racecars and to keep said racecar there the best a driver can or the best the car will allow and to cross the finish line ahead of as many racecars in the field as possible. If a driver has a car or cars in front of him or her, it's the driver’s objective to get past that car or cars, this practice is referred to as, RACING. This racing thing may seem odd to you or even crazy, but it's what the rest of us enjoy watching.

With your idiotic comment of Freddy blocking blah blah blah, it's obvious that you would have preferred young Frederick pull to the side and allow Sir Double Dick Douche Bag to go right on by. Do you let your Kool Tool employees show up and simply collect a check ? Or do you actually make them earn that check ?  The only thing that Double Dick executed perfectly is being the Douche Bag he is.

No need to thank me for this lesson Mr. Kool Tool

Regardless of who's call it would be, the call needs to be made. The whole thing was stupid. Start to finish. The on track shit especially gets me because Freddie crashed and crashed pretty hard. We all know what can happen, and unfortunately has happened in the past, when a flipping car gets struck in the cockpit by an oncoming car. What if Freddie had got hit by someone else and was seriously injured or worse? How would Danny feel then knowing that settling a stupid score cost someone their life? It could even happen to someone else who has nothing to do with the beef between Freddie and DD. It just isn't worth it to retaliate that way because bad shit CAN happen. 

Although I can't say I agree with what Danny did, (I suspect he only expected Fr ddie to spin) the bad things can also happen to the guys being run down the track.

What DD did was stupid. He should have been parked by either grove  or woo officials.  Especially after his comments when he climbed out of the car.  Where Freddie ended up on the track if cars where on the pedal coming thru 4 that could have been much much worse.  He's lucky that was a heat race and not the feature.  I have never been a big fan of DD but after that mix up at eldora which he openly admitted how sore he was afterwards and the car they junked that was a low ball move for sure.

Can somebody post what DD said on Twitter?

From DD's twitter along with a video replay of the incident:    "The swerve on the backstretch was the last straw..."

Thanks.

I'm not on Twitter & not interested in joining

If somebody posts a link, I can see it verbatim here, right?

You can look at a person's tweets without joining twitter.  Just google a name like Jon Doe's twitter, if they have an account you can view their tweets but not reply.

did anybody see rahmer clean out a lapped car at lincoln on saturday night?  tried a slider (i think) to get buy the guy that had no chance and sent him flipping into the fence.  made some kind of comment afterwards that saying sorry doesn't do anything.  i guess he was right.  taking responsibility does gain you some credibility though when you play victim like he always seems to do.

i'm not saying dietrich is innocent.  he doesn't play the victim card though.  ultimately there's no room for either type of personality...the tough guy or the mouse that plays innocent...because eventually somebody will get hurt.

I saw the highlights.  Rahmer punted him good! 

Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

Just like at the Grove a month or two ago when Freddie wrecked. Freddie running his mouth, "Oh it's so and so. What did I do expect to happen". Too busy pointing everywhere else to realize who the common denominator is.
