Your are as classless as TK was when he was drunk. I was one of the blowers, also a highschooler. Who do you think picks up after you for four days? Highschoolers who work for minimum age.

Wow you can talk like that to a highschooler. Shows your maturity.

Saturday night we were in the pits for twenty minutes, left the track under the flagstand and got blasted by dirt and beer bottles, i can see why someone would get upset

The first time you posted, you sounded like a bystander, now you sound like part of the cleaning crew. Which is it, or, are you making this up as you go? And, another thing, highschoolers like 18+ yrs old high school, or younger? I've seen some big 'ol boys that are 18ish that could whup some ass. Also, why are kids working at 2 am? If you are going to tell a "story" give us some juicey details. But, in the end you are intitled to your opinion about the people YOU meet and/or run into.

Less drinking/smoking..... more winning.... is another solution

At Knoxville thursday night, actually about 2 or so friday morning, the clean up crew at the races had to use blowers to blow the dirt and trash by the front stretch gate, which they had been doing all year because its their job. There was a pretty big crowd in the way and their boss said keep going they will move. So they continued to do their job while beer cans and other items were thrown back at them also while being cussed at and flipped off. TK came out of the crowd cussing and attempted to kick his sandal at one of them. He stood there cussing out four high schoolers who were just doing there job. It got to the point where I thought he was even going to strike one of them. I WAS a TK fan until this classless act by him. Also the renta cops failed to do anything about it. They refused to keep the crowd from throwing things at high schoolers. they infact threatened to put the clean up crew boss in jail. They whole thing was a scary scene that could have gotten out of hand at any moment but the renta cops ignored the kids safety.

That is the real Tim Keading.

Don't worry, I saw the real TK show up at WoO race at Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Ok earlier this year. The race was a disaster where the A-main lasted over an hour and a half. Every car blew atleast 1 RR tire in the race and they had to have 2 fuel stops. With all the cautions and 2-3 cars blowing a tire every other lap, the line up became a mess for the restarts. It was frustrating to watch and Im sure it was extremely frustrating for the drivers. But Tim Kaeding really showed the kind of person he was during a yellow. The track officials were trying to get the line up straight and TK obviously disagreed with where they were trying to line him up at so he decided to floor it coming out of 4 and then lock it up coming to a sliding stop on the frontstretch just a few feet away from the track officials standing on the track. When they pushed him back off he then decided to run his car wide open (while still under yellow) back down the frontstretch missing 2 track officials by mere inches while the flagman had to jump up on the wall to get out of the way. I understand that its hard to keep your composure when you're upset, but that was way out of line. The infield officials have no say on the line up, they just line the drivers up as they are told on the radio. They're job can be dangerous enough as it is, but when a so called "PROFESSIONAL" pulls a stunt like that and put other people's lives in danger, its hard to have any respect for him. If I was a car owner with my name on the car and sponsors supplying me large ammounts of money to go travel and race across the country, and my driver pulled a stunt like that, he would be finding his own way home. I too liked TK before this incident but after seeing the real him in action that night, that was enough for me. Not a TK fan.
