4 Straight Nights of racing at 4 different tracks.
I'll do my best to provide full details about how our team operates during this stretch of racing.
The good, the bad, & (hopefully not) the ugly.

So my dad has an idea. Tusky 50, I'm hiring 23 crew members and dressing them in the other 23 starters pit crew shirts. First red, they're instructed to run all over the race track. Those teams get DQ'ed. Easiest 52k EVER.
With nearly 10,000 total votes for our finalists, the polls have closed and you’re

We can keep getting better. This is just the beginning!
Drivers are getting hurt nonstop in these new cars.
So Bubba intentional wipes out Larson.
Then takes out a fellow Toyota Teammate who is still in contention for the Cup Title.
Great Job Mr Wallace 👏
Things we could all use less of:
- Tire doping
- Rubbered down race tracks
- Hoosier tires that don't match their chalk marks
- Political advice from celebrities
Unpopular opinion but I think Whittall's crash would have been worse with a catch fence.
As his speed, I think it was best to clear the track & slowly dissipate energy. Much less of an abrupt force on his body & keeps him out of oncoming cars.
JMO.
Glad you're okay Justin.
Is there a current racer out there that has cheated death more than Larson? I still remember that Hoffman 69 wreck at Eldora. I thought it was over right there.
Oh man. They’re really going for it.
A lot could happen this week. On the plus side, an option is we could see one of the greatest recoveries ever by a track crew.
Cars on track in 24 hours. 🫡
Someone made a mistake trying to win on lap 1 & half the field takes home junk. Noone had anywhere to go.
Very thankful everyone was safe.
I'll rebuild as soon as I can. By now,
@PortRoyalSpdway
owes me some luck in return & I'll be damned if I don't come back to take it.
Im devastated. I wanted that one so bad. More than anything. We did everything perfect. Noone screwed up. But we still didnt have the luck, ran something over and blew another RR tire while leading the Greg Hodnett Classic
@PortRoyalSpdway
. We were so close.
Joe Biden can’t even pick his own reporters to call on. Who is telling him who to call on and why is he getting prepped on questions? This is shameful.

car can take struggling drivers & make them contenders right away. Successful drivers leave the ride & then can't duplicate the success they had. Truly shows the ability Bernie has as the crew chief & owner. Super happy for him, Betsy, and

Here she is! All ready to roll for 2020. Wanted to keep our red, white and blue roots. But also tried to add some brightness! I hope everyone like it 😄😄

. Car was fantastic. We barely touched it after we unloaded. Very proud of the speed we had tonight.
Special thanks to my father, mother, and girlfriend for being my only crew tonight.
Its time to change things up. I present to you all, our 2022 car.
My buddy
@showtime_signs
did a fantastic job & we are thrilled with how this car looks.
Special thanks to all my partners. I'm excited to get rolling in 8 days.

How does someone get a video like this off the gopro and uploaded to social media so quick? A hotspot?
I dont think Charlotte has free wifi and there's no way it's that quick with everyone on it.
I'm relieved to say we FINALLY got our 1st win of 2020. We also get to check Tri-City off our list to win at.
Car worked well top & bottom. Hopefully this gives us some momentum to build on.
Huge thanks to all the fans & sponsors that continue to stick by us. This is for you!
Thank you so much
@IndyRaceParts

Had a blast this weekend. Beyond grateful.
Thanks for believing in a Western PA Sprint Car driver, that graduated from Street Stocks, in a Big Block Modified family. 😂😂
We can keep getting better. 🥳🏁
We are officially 7x
@Lernerville
Sprint Car Champions!!!!
Locked it up by going 8th to 2nd in the feature. Got to 2nd with 7 to go, but couldn't make anything happen as the bottom started going away & we never reached lap traffic.
I am PUMPED for Clinton County tomorrow!!!
States across the country are allowing restaurants and retail to reopen at half capacity.
In PA, Dictator

is shutting more down and enforcing longer stay at home orders.
Absurd.
Holy crap I can share the news now!
Blessed to be back with the Lehigh Valley Restaurant Group,

Proud of our efforts

5th to 2nd in our LOADED heat.
Passed Kyle Larson. Didn't think I could do that.
Started 12th. Up to 9th but finished 11th.
We'll keep working 💪
Special thanks to
@Paul_Silva57
for giving me a few minutes of his time after the races.
I know I'm biased but Sprint Cars are by far the most badass dirt machines on the planet. I almost forgot what speed was until they came back out for their feature tonight at the World Finals.
Welcome to 2021.
We tried something a little bit different this year with our colors. I hope you all like the new car design as much as I do 😁😁🏁🏁
@redrobinburgers
@RedRobinRacing
It literally took The Dream Team just 1 night of "testing" to come within 12 laps of beating the Outlaws at Knoxville. Kind of amazing. August should be exciting
If the
@WorldofOutlaws
have learned anything recently, it's that they need to continue to expand their schedule to different tracks. The past 2 races have been fantastic
I'll give this to the
@HighLimitRacing
series... They did a phenomenal job selecting these race tracks.
Virtually every race has been exciting.
And Corey Day is awesome. Patience beyond his years.

I am absolutely no doctor. But it blows my mind that Ku. Busch & Alex Bowman have missed 4+ weeks of racing, due to concussions.
Yet, NFL players can typically get cleared in 1 week, or at most 2.
Unless the concussions suffered in motor racing are just so much more extreme.
Win

@WesternPASpdwk
Champions!
Had a really good racecar and drove from 11th to 4th to lock up the points tonight at Tri-City Raceway Park!
Can't thank these men enough for all their hard work this week. Mission accomplished 😎
Larson and Silva get it done again.
Incredible.
I dont think I'll ever understand how they can make a bunch of professional sprint car drivers look so mediocre.
Do they win another Knoxville Nationals title now?
I'm gonna tell you that I was about to pass
@DonnySchatz
on the cushion.
But in reality, he was lapping me 🤣
It's an honor to race along side some of the best in the world.

Gotta give
@Paul_Silva57
a huge amount of credit. Putting a wrecked car back together and making it good enough right out of the gate to win the Kings Royal later that night. Not a lot of crew chiefs, crews, or drivers that could do that. Unbelievable
THANK YOU to all the fans that showed up to
@PortRoyalSpdway
. That was the most incredible opening day race I've ever been apart of. The stands were packed & fans were everywhere. Couple that with the Lincoln opener, and its proof you PA Sprint car fans are the best in the world.
Mike is a smart guy. He wouldn't chose to leave WRG for High Limit if there weren't larger plans in the works.
Something big is brewing here and I'm excited to see what it is 😬😬
Time to race against the
@WorldofOutlaws
tonight
@Lernerville
in the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup! Always a tough task for us but we'll give it all we got and try to put her in the show!
Special thanks to
@PortRoyalSpdway
. Even though the feature race was rained out, we still received our check for the Semi in the mail today. Port did not hold on to the money until the make up date.
Very much appreciated by all drivers 👍
17 of the top 20 qualifiers in the B-Main? Then something needs done with this format. You can't be penalizing drivers for qualifying well at the biggest race of the year.
Marks wrecks.
Rico breaks.
Kofoid breaks.
Catches a caution with 7 to go to get another shot at Randall.
Sometimes when it's your night, it's just YOUR night.
Congrats Brian Brown!
Dead last (16th) to the win tonight at Tri-City!
Mechanical issues sidelined us in hotlaps and the heat race, but Im just so proud of the crew to find the issue and give us a chance to race in the feature.
I hate to be this guy, because it's been so good all week... but track prep has ruined these 2 Shootout features already.
They either need less prep prior, or longer races. Let it widen out some.
Gotta give credit where credit is due.
@JoeMooney62
and the
@Macri39M
team haven't lost a step after bringing in Sanders. They've been up front, right out of the gate, anywhere they go.
Impressive.
Pulled out the win & $3000 check for the Steel City Stampede
@Lernerville
!
Felt like we were on ice. Lap times were slow. Car wasn't great but strong enough to win. Done for 2020 & ending on a high note.
Offseason will be a nice break but I'm excited to get to work for 2021!
I love getting on Twitter every day to see what free stuff people want and how they expect others to pay for it.
Work hard. Play harder. Nothing in life is free. 💰💰
Anybody looking to get involved and learn about sprint cars? My crew isnt getting younger and I think I killed 3 of them Saturday at Sharon. We could always use extra help in the garage and at the races, especially as we branch out our schedule.
Larson is driving for Rumley.
Track is rough as hell.
He grew up on tracks like Chico, Tulare, and Stockton.
There wasn't a late model driver in the field that stood a chance at beating him straight up tonight 😅😅
I dont understand why the Covid Relief bill cant be 1/4 page long and say
"Every legal American will receive xxxx dollars, by check, within the next 2 weeks. Merry Christmas."
Thats it. Done.
Not the rest of this BS. Save it for another day.
We have made it to
@PortRoyalSpdway
!
It's currently pouring. But the fair looks nice.
I plan to drive a racecar tonight if I'm not intoxicated with Corndogs by 6pm.
The World of Outlaws have a tire rule. We are only allowed to use one brand during competition.
What is that brand?
Hoosier Racing Tires.
Just some extra info for the fans that didn't know.
.
@HoosierTire
works hard to produce, develop, and distribute the absolute best performing race tires available today.
That’s why drivers from across the country race and win with American made Hoosier Racing Tires.
𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗧:
Here me out.
These big events should start 30 cars.
Not to discredit how difficult it is to make the race.
But so we have more cars to create more lapped traffic and better racing like last night.
Pens lost but we won so that makes the night better! 2nd win in a row
@Lernerville
and 3rd in 2020! What a great racecar! Jumped from 9th to the lead in only a few laps and checked out! Lets keep this momentum rolling!
