Laying in a hospital bed. Didn’t know what happened to me until a couple hours ago. Incredible amount of support. Thanks to everyone for reaching out. Dad is struggling but I am starting to feel better.
I am starting to feel better. Originally they talked about doing a surgery on my face but that’s not the case now. I should be released anytime. Dad is still under a ton of pain and not very mobile. Needs a wheelchair. I asked the doctor if I could race this weekend and told no.
Ross said he grabbed 5th gear and just never lifted around the fence. No driver used 5th gear all day. The only other guy that we have seen grab another gear and pass half the field is Cole Trickle.
Kid at Millbridge just ran into another kid after the race was over. They got hooked together. He gets out and walks off the track leaving the kart behind. His mom made him go back out on the track and push his own kart off the track. That’s the way it should be.
The racing community is unbelievable. Thanks to every single one of you that has reached out. We are lucky to be alive and will be able to race again one day soon. My merch trailer is setup at Eldora this weekend. I wish I could be there but I’ll be watching from home. Thank you.
No matter what side you are on Ty or Sam. Everyone says they want Nascar to be old school. Bump and run to win. Push and shove, take no shit. Yet people still find a way to complain about what happened. It was entertaining. Yes he should take his helmet off but it was good TV.
Hey
@GanassiChip
remember how fast the 42 used to be at homestead? The best in the business at running the fence, also happens to have won 5 of his last 6 races.
#ilikewinners
So pumped up for KL. I am on a cruise in the middle of the ocean and nobody at the bar cares about Nascar but we were ready to turn the bar upside down. So deserving, so badass. This is a prime example of never give up.
Huge thanks to everyone that has sent me well wishes and especially the fans and fellow competitors that have went above and beyond to help or raise money. There is nobody quite like the racing community. I went to a doctor today and go back tomorrow to hopefully get some answers
Larson won an espy for best driver and won the Outlaw race at Port Royal in the same night. If you think Verstappen Palou or Torrence even had a shot, you have bumped your head. It’s not even close.
How about this story tho. Dale beats cancer. Wins his first race back. Such a good guy. Brother is one of the smartest in dirt racing. They absolutely kicked everyone’s ass today. So cool
Facebook is so entertaining on the UMP rules. 90% of these rules were made because everyone bitched about my car. So they get new rules and everyone still bitches. Cream rises to the top people. The same cars will still go fast no matter what you change. Just gotta work harder.
I gave Larson an Elite Chassis shirt at the Dream this year. He put it in his collection of race day shirts after he won an Allstars race in Ohio. He’s now had it on for his Kings Royal win, Prairie Dirt Classic and Knoxville Nationals win. He’s been undefeated while wearing it.
Speedweeks update. My hauler is the closest out of anyone to the ice cream stand so my crew won’t be worth a shit if I need to pit. Race track is mach speed. Probably have vapor trails coming off the spoiler. Going to have to bend the throttle rod today.
Joe you have dementia. America has been back for 4 years. Thanks to
@realDonaldTrump
We are about to be screwed thanks to your rigged election.
Sincerely, a small business owner
Update. We made it. Was able to see him and then a few mins later I started to get hot so I headed for the door and found me a seat outside. Did not pass out. Mom and baby are both good.
I can’t believe it!!!! I am so pumped for my best bud! He deserves every minute of this. I’m so mad I am not there. I can’t wait to see him this week to celebrate this. Unreal.
I’m not crying by you are.
Flights canceled.
@StenhouseJr
and I decided to drive home right after the races last night. He handled the night shift and I just took over. Kind of ass backwards from normal but we are diggin. 8 hours togo not counting having to slow when we get back into snow.
Dome update. I have already started the petition with Cody to keep the midgets. I haven’t had that much fun in a racecar in a long time. Beat the wall down and didn’t land on my head. Late model model just got in line and rode, mod was a Baja and I suck at those. Solid weekend
One other thing. I appreciate all the kind words. I see all posts, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. There is alot of hate out there which is fine, it’s part of the sport. But some of you guys are douchebags 😂 I’m just trying to race for a living. Don’t hate me for that.
The FINAL Hell Tour Update. I will keep posting updated throughout races but the Hell Tour updates is what started it all.
Please read. Please retweet.
Update. Don’t have to wake up early any more days this week. We are going to be in a bmain Saturday. 14th to 5th! Floored that sum bitch and
@DaumMotorsports
turned the wrenches the right way all night. I have been up for just shy of 20 hours. Long day. But worth it. So much fun.
Got this big rig pointed west and we are headed to the races. Running all 3 divisions. First week all year I didn’t check the weather cause we don’t give a shit about the weather. It’s dome week!!
No service at Eldora all weekend. We made the million but missed the dream. Not bad for a team we just put together 3 weeks ago.
Next stop. Hell Tour. Who’s ready for some hell tour updates?
Hey iPhone. It’s 2021 and I still have never meant to use the work ducking in a sentence. Fix this shit. Instead of coming out with a new phone every 3 months maybe you should get us a iPhone 14 Rated R edition.
Bundy is home! First day of the dome this year I sat in a bar in STL and balled my eyes out. Supposed to be having fun with friends, I couldn’t. Bundy has done so much for so many but everyone knows him as the coolest dude. Doctors gave him a small chance to live. He showed them!
What we saw tonight is the reason I want no part of racing a midget on a track bigger than a 1/4 mile. Not a single kid cares when they throw a slider. I don’t wanna bump my head going that fast after a kid junks me. Not like you can go punch him after. He’s like 15. 😂
Led 68. Needed 69 (nice) and got beat. Congrats to Bobby on the win. He earned it.
Really tough to lose that way but looking back I don’t know what I could or should have done different. It just wasn’t my time. We will race again this week.
Thank you for all the support.
Dang I really pissed off the bang banger division with my post earlier. Apparently they don’t like a good joke. On facebook I was told to Stfu, asked if I’ve ever been to a dirt track, etc. Whoops.
Silver sharpies are the most used sharpies in all race shops. The problem is they are junk. If you find one that works properly it feels like you just hit the jackpot. Approximately 10 minutes later that sharpie grows legs and is nowhere to be found.
Woke up at 12 today. That felt pretty nice to get 10 hours of sleep. Get to hangout all week and just watch racing.
Since I wont be doing much who wants to see race updates or other stuff going on here from a racers prospective?
Retweet this.
Got in the draft with
@CBellRacing
and made decent time through Georgia and SC. We got to a spot of bad roads and had a guy clear all 4 lanes twice completely sideways and kept it out of the fence. Pretty impressive save.
This is so cool. This shows how much the whole deal means to him. He’s just a racer. Just happens to be the most popular racer in the world. Absolutely packed house to see him race a late model.

Locked in all 3. In the redraw in all 3. Incredible weekend. The redraw is going to be important. Racetrack is wild. Idle around 1 and 2 and just Baja that bitch in 3 and 4. Side note-I ran the top in the midget. Did not blow the deck out.
Update day 41. Probably the biggest week of my career. Just got to make the most of it. I’m ready to get after it. Broke the internet yesterday. Scott worked on the car until this morning. We are loaded and about to head to Davenport Iowa.
Sprint cars have ran one lug nut for awhile and don’t have issues. Maybe the tire changers in Nascar need a sprint car style lug wrench for the pit stops. I’d love to see them have to jump on a lug wrench to make sure it’s tight.
It’s not even 12 o’clock and the bang bangers are already stretching the rods on these things in the pit area. That’a bad racing etiquette. We hotlap at 2 so at least wait til 1 to fire up your Honda Civic
I started 4th and I drove this thing straight back to 8th. I just didn’t adjust enough for the feature and missed it. First night in a longhorn so I wasn’t sure what I needed to do. Shit happens.
Well we are losing the daily Hell Tour Twitter updates. But you are gaining daily WoO updates throughout the year. That’s at 57 tweets. If you are new here, these aren’t your normal racecar driver Twitter posts.
Hell tour update. Didn’t hit any power lines. Taco truck at the track was dialed in. Stayed at Walmart parking lot in Quincy. Had a guy stop by and ask, “you guys Nascar?” Nope Dirt racing. Told him we raced down the road last night. He didn’t have a clue. Just a traveling circus
I have been fortunate enough to win a bunch of races here at
@VolusiaSpeedway
but winning one tonight as a car owner/crew chief for
@Kenny_Wallace
ranks right up close to the top. Pretty damn cool.
People hate watching modifieds because anytime we are on a decent stage like tonight at Terre Haute there’s always 2 or 3 guys that crash every lap and it takes forever to get the race in. The usac guys are prob like get these shitboxes off the track.
I gained a lot of followers on here lately
Welcome to the shit show
For those that are new here- I post a lot about racing and a lil about STL sports. I say some bad words. If you want a politically correct me then follow my Instagram. Trump couldn’t say what he wanted but I do
We had a mandatory drivers meeting Friday hosted by Tony Stewart. It was basically to eliminate stick signals and getting people off 4 wheelers, ladders, lift gates etc to signal their driver. Little did they know I had my guy up in the turn 3 suites.
There has been more fights in asphalt late model racing than any other form of racing this year.
But I would be in a shitty mood too if I had to be at the track at 7am, spend 8k on tires, make 200 practice laps, then crash my shit for a race that prob didn’t pay much anyway
2023
@GermfreeLabs
Rookie of the Year
@Nick_Hoffman2
is officially back for 2024!
The Mooresville, NC driver aims to improve on his 5th place finish in the final standings during his 2nd year driving for Tye Twarog Racing.
Here is your daily reminder that mounting seats in a racecar is the worst job in motorsports. I’d rather clean the shitter out in the toter home than do this job.
Can’t wait to have a cool quote on my spoiler next year. Isn’t that what you are supposed todo with them? That way the guy behind you knows that you aren’t fuckin around.
Update. Didn’t suck last night. Bmain bandit. Won that. Started 21st in the Dream and finished 9th. The best part of the whole story is I ran my Lr shock and spring off my modified. I know that thing digs so I bolted it on.
Day 5 update. On track activities still going well. Gotta drink a 12 pack of Gatorade to stay alive. Transmission is definitely fucked now, gotta change that. Partied after the races. Cop came cause we had a noise complaint and I got a picture with him with the big check.
Rollin to Fairbury. Driving the rig through these small towns right before Fairbury. A cop taking radar just waving to all the rigs going by and gave me a thumbs up. Pretty damn cool.
May have been a little harsh but I'm not going to sugar coat it. There are hundreds of racecar drivers that race on Saturday nights at local short tracks that have far more talent than what most of the cup teams have. Don't get me wrong. There are about 25 really good cup guys.

In 2012 I won the Gator Nationals here. I passed Austin Dillon to win. My biggest win at that point and it propelled my modified career. It was the only time I have ever cried in victory lane. To see the emotion out of Charlie after winning is something I felt. I did the same.
Parked beside a bunch of open wheel guys tonight at Putnamville. I am going to do my damndest to make noise and beat out sheet metal all night. I know they love that shit.
Hell tour day 1 update. Lots of issues, none on track. Maddox is sick, I don’t feel great either. Drove til 4 am. Just rolled into Peoria and seen the strip club across from the racetrack burnt down. Really enjoyed seeing those neon lights going down the back stretch.
Well we have been on the podium in every race this week. Midget was so damn fun ripping the fence. Time to win it or wear it in the modified. Let’s get it.
Went straight from Chili Bowl to Lennies to the airport and now the shop. Doing the worst job possible in racing today and that is mount a seat. From torsion bars to 4 link bars in the matter of a couple hours.
Spoon River. 100 laps. Great track as always. Won right around 12k. My biggest payday in racing. My engine builder told me if it gets hot don’t worry about it. Run it til it shuts itself off. Big ten four dad.
It’s 5 am. Waking up before the sun does is dumb. Hotlaps here soon. Better believe I’m going to catch a cat nap after. Amain rolls out at 10:20 tonight. That’s a long time from now. Can’t fall out of the seat. Need
