Brian I didn't know that you drove a dump truck last night. Gee wiz man, that was a terrible slidejob. Maybe you should wear some glasses!

Are you refering to the one on Wayne Johnson or the one on Randy Anderson? I blame track conditions and the lack of any stick to the bottom more than Brians moves. I didnt see anyone else cut through the field the way he did and he deserves the benefit of the doubt. By A Main time Brian is usually the fastest man on the track and in a hurry to move forward. It wasnt like there wasnt any other bad moves and cautions the A Main by my watch was 75 mins.

I'm no expert but it looked like a slidejob gone bad to me. I feel sorry for Randy and his team after having quick time and working with a limited budget. I'm sure Brian apologized after the race and said he would pay for all the damage.

Everyone makes a mistake once in a while. Sometimes others get involved. It's part of racing. I don't think he took him out on purpose.

kk maybe you should go out and get some glasses and watch all of the racing some night. or better yet strap yourself in one night and see how it goes for ya. this stuff happens every week. none of it is intentional, it is just the nature of the beast. easy to drive one from outside of the car. some slidejobs work and some don't.

It woulkd have been different if the slidejob was from bottom to the top, but they were side by side into turn 3 and then boom..

rwr21:  I do watch the whole night or racing.  I have seen many nights of racing at Knoxville and other 110 tracks.  I bet I have seen more races than you wish to.  I would love to srap into a car and go at it, but there is one problem.  I don't have family ties to setup a race car or help fund from freebies parts.  Doogs and their "secret partner" has supplied Brian a great car each week and it shows as he is one of the best cars at Kville each week.  It doesn't mean he need to "bully" his way to the front. 

Freakin unreal!

kk.....Your wrong if you think Danny is funding that team in anyway. They pay for the stuff they get from him. That's why they have a hard time getting a sponsor because people think Danny is giving them everything.

I still fail to understand what the problem is. To me it seems like you are mad over a racing accident Were you pissed off at the fence in turn 1 when Randy drove flat out into it two weeks ago that is no knock on RA- who can forget him throwing the Sonner 47 into the show a few years back I am sorry you are mad My advice would be to stop getting quicktime shoot for 4th-6th in time trials and then maybe he can start on the pole and win :)

Randy had help in turn one also!

I'm not mad.

KK.... What is that you race and can make a living at.......I bet nothing

kk: i am still trying to figure this one out... you must like Randy and dislike Brian. Randy has a very good motor under the hood and is qualifying and racing good.(ex McCarl wesmar bullet) and as far as Brian goes, yes his family ties did get him behind the wheel, but that is how it works when you grow up around the sport. just like anything else. and as far as the so called freebie parts goes, you lack alot of information on that one! i support any driver that climbs behind the wheel and puts on a great show for the fans every week!

now kk: as far as the subject of you attending the races, you could not even hold a candle to me. you could go to the races for the rest of your life and not make a dent in this subject. and the sad part about it, i'm only in my mid 30's. ;)

Go Brown!

I bet most of you don't even know who is buying the motors..Probably one of the best sprint car sponsors in the country is behind #21 in the motor department. They are such a big supporter, that they want to name sshh..so they don't want their name listed or mentioned..

On that topic, everyone knows that you can't make a living at sprint car racing or racing on general unless you have awesome supporters.

Man it's about time this board had a hot topic, otherwise this board has been a boring freight train rubberdown track due to lack of excess track prep.. did I open another can of worms??

Geez the hate has started..

wow....  you think you might have some insider info on one topic...  as far as being one of the best sponsors in the country,  i don't know about that, but they are a very big supporter of sprint car racing in general. (and i am very happy to see that.)every team needs good sponsors to survive.  that is what keeps them on the track and racing infront of people like you and me.   if you had a clue you would know that there are a few teams at knoxville that have silent sponsors that support there programs wether it be $500.00 or $50,000.00.  not just the one that you are trying to point out.  maybe this weekend if you are good, Brian might give you an autograph this time!  ;)

Thanks for the tips. I'll make sure I dedicate my next quicktime to you.

KK...didn't you get a chance for a Brian Brown autograph a couple of years ago? :)
