12 Year Old Kid Drives Super Late Model With Open Motor

[@foxaches615]

Good to see the seasoned vet never let the kid out of his sights

[@WRXPATRICK1]

Looks like the kid can wheel! I'd like to see one of his races. Might be at the top level some day

[@joracer1]

You mean might try Lucas oil or woo series? Super late model is top level.

[@oraclechilly3264]

joracer1 he obviously knows how to race and control his car also he has great throttle control when entering and exiting the corners

[@michaelcarter577]

I wish I had had a rich dad when I was a kid.

[@toddblevins5249]

Michael Carter It takes more than a rich dad.

[@michaelcarter577]

A 12 year old isn't buying his own super late model.

[@toddblevins5249]

Michael Carter I wouldn't recommend that a twelve year old buy a super late model even if he was able. I'm just saying, money without talent is just another car running at the back. I've seen it dozens of times. A rich kid comes along, races for a year and a half or two, and then he's gone, frustrated because he can't get the car to turn left. I'd be willing to bet that it's easier to find a car owner looking for a driver than it is to find a twelve year old with the talent and the balls to drive one. Sure money is important in racing but you'll often find that an unlimited budget can make a less talented driver just fast enough to be dangerous. I'll say it again. It takes more than a rich dad.

[@michaelcarter577]

+Todd Blevins I don't think you understand what I was saying. Talent or not, I wish I had had a rich dad or uncle to buy me a race car as a kid. Talent doesn't do you any good if you don't have any money.

[@toddblevins5249]

Michael Carter And money doesn't do you any good if you don't have talent. Yeah, I understood exactly what you were saying. It was just a small poke towards the kid but it was still a poke. I hear you though. Does it have to be a relative. Hell, I believe I would have let a rich neighbor or even a rich stranger buy me a car when I was a kid. I'm not picky but I did lie just now. I was never a kid!

Wait until Dad has a look at the right rear quarter panel where he hit the wall at 3:43

[@Midn1t3_Mayham]

i used to race dirt track and it doesn't matter how much money you have yes youll have a fast car but you need the skill to drive that car around a dirt track with that horse power and not hit anyone. this kid has a bright future

[@richardmcfarland7954]

Joseph Thomas i beg to differ.. As much a s skill helps having very deep pockets help alot.. If you don't fear wrecking or blowing up caise you have the money to replace the equipment then you can drive harder and that does affect the out come

[@DirtTrackDave]

Richard Mcfarland I have worked with teams with unlimited budgets and small time racers. I can tell you from experience, money get you into the top 10 most cases. But skill, technique, adaptability in changing conditions, and occasional risks get you to the front ( and some balls of course). At a certain level of competition it the money only means you got similar equipment that is all.

[@richardmcfarland7954]

Dirt Track Dave regardless of you have no fear of blowing up or tearing up equipment cause you havr the funds to replace it you tend to drive differently

[@DDS029]

Plus you are seeing a small portion of his driving ability. And for most of the race he was relatively by himself.

[@chanlerblackburn811]

Plus you dont come out with any money either it's more of a hobby

[@ryan14r95]

Cummins Real power oh I bet

[@thelizardpalace4597]

I started at 12 too! I do road racing but I would not trust myself at all at that age with an engine like that! This kid has talent! A lot of it!

[@imoovabull6042]

good on ya dad! putting your young fella in the car at that age is a great move. i grew up in the 60's and 70's doing juniors in Aussie speedway and I went on to a decent career in WRC. keep his head on his shoulders and please dont let him grow an ego. thats what kills their futures..

[@TrYHaRD_24x7]

Keep wheelin kid your 15 now you still driving. It’s our jobs as parents to give our kids the best in life, let people talk and drive the wheels off!

[@rebeccawilliams3201]

That’s carder Miller where I go he races and he’s awesome

[@jasone4460]

Y’all should check out Tyler Clem racing from Florida. He started driving late models at age 9. He now races for Tony Stewart racing in a wing sprint and super late models and winning races at age 14. Great young talent

[@fartknocker6469]

the boy is gifted keep up the good work mr carder miller. nothin better than dirt

[@MrJr1976]

I’m honestly really impressed! I can’t say whether or not I’d be better since I don’t have the capital to try. Hope he does well in the future!

[@klscars4762]

“Hope he does well in the future!” I agree with you 👍🏼

[@casketblack5660]

for real , thats badass! on many levels namely responsibility, action and consequence, to have respect and understanding of the importance of taking a perfect turn and repeating it every single time, for just how much work goes into building that car... I could go on... super cool. keep grooming for NASCAR! excellent work!

[@SHA8UTIE]

You all should see this kid play football as well! He is a beast.

[@totlychair6025]

I am 13 right now and this is honestly some cool stuff but I am more of a NASCAR guy personally but this is still cool to watch

[@strnvii]

Man that looks like so much fun Wish I could do that 1 day

[@kaptainkidd]

I know Carder Miller personally and he has been racing dirt bikes and go carts since he was able to walk. I personally raced late model stock car (not dirt). This young man is the real deal. His father is Bo Miller they are from SALEM va. They are full time racing, winter time they have a indoor rc track. That they have been running for a few years and have racing on Thursday nights for the public. You should see Carter with a rc car lol. He is going to be a very good race car driver in the big ranks. They win a lot of the local dirt track in the area

[@DDS029]

If he makes it that long. To learn how to avoid wrecks, you have to experience them. Better to do that in a go-kart, a quarter midget, or a Bandalero.

[@Lucas-qb3bs]

I’m glad I grew up with dirt bikes and atv’s, But man this is better

[@brodysim_04]

I'm 12 years old and I drive dirt street stock

[@DDS029]

You should be riding a bicycle, or racing a go-kart.

[@chieflongsock]

DDS029 you jelly dude, butthurt?

[@DDS029]

Nope, just trying to keep racing alive. When you're that young, you either get scared from a big wreck, bored with it due too a kid's short attention span, and you really learn about girls. And since it's not likely he's up till 2 am all week, and opening his check book to fix the car if he wrecks. His career will end before mine got started. And I did it without a father, he passed away one week after I turned 16. Reduced to selling scrap batteries for $1 to buy a spark plug because I broke one while cleaning and regapping them. That's what racers go through, that's how you learn respect for the effort others put in their cars, instead of just getting pissed and wrecking them the first time you come up on them. Everybody is different, but children driving race cars will have at least some of these qualities, if they weren't in the garage up to their elbows in rear end grease, or looking at and empty wallet walking out the parts store. So one more expected to help move the sport into the future, takes his race car and goes home to BUY, not build, a car that will drift and end up in more accidents on the road than on the track.

[@mostrosticator]

Sounds like he needs a higher gear but that track more than likely will tighten up and he'll start getting more from that motor providing he's hooking up in the corners. Wasn't a whole lot of rhythm but this kid did an outstanding job 👍

It is not drifting it's called sliding around the curve. Drifting involves having smoke come from the tires.

[@jayss10]

Not sure how I feel about that. Being able to handle the car skill wise is one thing. Being able to be mature enough to race a super late model is another. Granted there are guys that are 30+ that have no business in a super late due to their mentality/lack of maturity but I can't imagine a kid being mature enough. If it was just test and tunes that would be one thing, but racing to me would be another.

[@matthewsytchannel7573]

Here in Colombia it is so difficult to find an official motorsport league or something like that for the kids who wants to prepair for racing in future ;(

[@DirtTrackDave]

Not much better here just expensive. Although, I have seen an increase in "young gun" classes or novice classes that limits either age or years of experience. One class here at some tracks only allows you to run 1-2 seasons before you reached max time in that specific class and have to move up to more experienced drivers.
