I agree Landon with your observations about the beating and banging. This was at one time a clean racing series. I used to go to Charlotte watching the Legends race on a regular basis. I wouldn't go again with the racing this rough. If this is what is allowed now I'll save my money. Rubbing is racing; beating and banging is a demolition derby. Seems like lots of motorsports has eroded to this level. See ya in Hickory!

[@deytonharris]

It’s cool to hear the broadcast in the background while also watching your POV, really paints a picture and gives you an idea of what’s happening. Killin it with these videos, hope to see you back in the ole “CK” again🤘🏼

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

Thanks brother I appreciate it 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@JRDmotorsports]

Agreed, very cool addition that adds another layer to the video!

[@LilDadyProductions]

Loved the announcer overlay during the Go Pro . Also "We are running dead last you idiot" LOLOLOL what a b* for trying to get you for P15

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

that’s what i’m saying lol

[@Guidostripes]

Dude that’s how the shootout has become. I was racing down there for the legends million. It’s a shitshow with big money and a lot of spoiled kids who don’t have to pay for their shit when they wreck it. I went to the million with one car and a back up motor. We obviously didn’t make it but it’s crazy the amount of money people spend on legends cars now.

[@cameronatkinson3891]

Been watching the videos since the beginning we live in Rockingham now but moving to hickory Morganton area for surely coming to hickory and wilkesboro can’t wait!

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

hell yeah!!

[@aracerslife2699]

Good run keep at it. Also just realized how special that chassis is that your driving. Its an older 2 bar chassis. A bit lighter and some say better build quality.

[@SnoDawg]

Great video, thanks for the ride along.

[@Josey_Wales]

Great video! I agree with you, these cars look really fun but I'm glad you said something to the knucklehead running you over for 16th place. That's not how you race, at all, especially for 16th position smh. They have to learn somewhere!

[@TheCrewChief374]

You definitely summed it up perfectly, with regards to the individual running you over for last place. Of course, my perspective is that these younger drivers have spent far to much time in the virtual world. Such as iracing, call of duty, and others. They cannot real world consequences from their actions. Moreover, there is no shortcut or easy way to gain real world experience. Other than in the real world. Of actually dealing with real people in real time...

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I don’t disagree with any of that. You make great points

[@SnoDawg]

Yes just look at Ross Chastain, he has zero respect for anyone. Young punks with zero respect.

[@CrewGuyPJ]

I was glad ya didnt let the kid playing bumper tag off. That should be a learning moment for the 7ny driver. Looks like ya had fun and ran decent even tho the front end wasnt right. Back to the 'big cars' !!

[@sudsysutherland359]

What a very cool idea to make a short track out of this big Charlotte Motor Speedway. I think a lot of the big Nascar tracks are doing this now such as Charlotte obviously & Indianapolis,Daytona, in which Daytona has been doing for many years with the 24hrs race Etc. I can’t think of anymore big tracks that have a road course as well off the top of my head right now …

[@ScottyMac247]

Hey Landon. This might be a topic you’ve covered in another video I missed or haven’t watched yet, but I’d love to learn more about your experience in the truck series and maybe why you haven’t gotten more cracks at it. It seems like every time you hopped in the truck you were competitive, especially considering the lack of seat time in those things you’ve had. You got your personal best finish and then never got in the truck again? Doesn’t seem right to me. Maybe a video idea or a Q&A kinda thing idk, either way loving the content and pulling for you!

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I could do it, but the only answer is I’m broke lol. I was very fortunate to get the truck series opportunities I did get without money. Now it’s harder than ever and you have to have someone paying for you to be there or you simply won’t be racing

[@ScottyMac247]

@@LandonHuffmanRacing you know it’s rough when the Quinn Houff’s of the world can get cup rides but the Landon Huffman’s of the world can’t at least get some seat time in a truck lmao

[@terrybrown9206]

Glad you got to race a different type of race car.

[@Slingindirt_09]

I should have been there last night. Sadly I fell asleep and missed the entire race

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

well darn

[@Ezisnotaman]

LOVE the channel, bro. You, HTF, and David Gravel, get me through the work day!! LOL!!

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

hell yeah great choices 🤘🏻

[@JRDmotorsports]

Landon does a phenomenal job, 10/10 channel he’s created here!

[@harryjohnson2]

I always wished they'd run a good slick tire on those things. Them little cars are ridiculously fast just cant lay the power down

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

if they ran slicks they would fly

[@mikesanders3228]

I've enjoyed all of your videos, especially for their realness. I watched your dad race, now you. I'm kind of a late comer to your channel, what does the "WD" on your helmet represent. Thanks for your racing and your vlogs.

[@CrewGuyPJ]

It stands for "Winning Driver" :) Its a sponsor on his late model.

[@waggoner348]

It's the logo for Windshield Deep which is a clothing brand and sometimes podcast

[@TyAlmeida97]

Legends drive the same way up at my local track seekonk speedway every week. Junking cars and driving like animals. They seem like a blast to drive though! Looks like you had some good speed going for ya. And I agree your first Q run was definitely better then your second

[@rollzout3]

Great video bud love to see you in the legend. That kid is Luke Baldwin Tommy jr kid and he has no respect daddy gives him everything and can’t drive for crap he races at riverhead sometimes but he starts fight here to he was running his mouth during the islip 300 in November.

[@markymarknj]

Landon, that was a TOTALLY BULLSHIT move that guy pulled on you at the end! I was like, WTF?

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

part of it i guess lol

[@devs3one3]

Certainly got to grips with the little beast, can see why you get pissed at some of the driving standards. GJ anyway bud. And buy that race commentator a beer 🍻. 😎🤘

[@andrewbrown6754]

Problem with legends is that you got kids who have run karts for 8 years and they are taught that they need to run over people to pass them….fast forward to them getting out into legend cars…same mindset because the way they’ve raced since they started is to run over people to push them up and out of the racing line to make a pass….I blame karting lol

[@Shortbuspimpin]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@johncarter1137]

I ran a Legend car some back in the mid 1990s, and it was the same way then. People driving way over their head and beating your car up. Legend cars are fragile, especially the front suspension and steering components, and I got tired of it and sold my car and helped my friends Micky and Scott Lawson with theirs. I always thought they were a good learning car because they were so light on the rear and would spin the tires off the turns so easily making you have good throttle control, you basically steered them off the corners with the throttle.

[@Tylercm262]

That shit was straight out of iRacing rookie legends.

[@davidparker3197]

Legends cars are the stepping stones to bigger bodied cars. Cool to get opportunity but N LMS is your gig LH. We need more TRAVIS MOONHEAD BROWN. Guy is a legend with a xxxxxxxxxl hat

[@KimiWallrus]

I understand why people are Swiss Cheesing the fenders but i just wish just on sanctioning body would stick to body rules that make the cars esthetically pleasing.

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I wouldn’t tell the difference in appearance overall if they do or don’t on that

[@Charlotte_Photographer]

Surprised you didn't go to North Wilkesboro to watch the modified race last night.

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I had a prior racing commitment

[@bjw9529]

Love your videos man! It’s so cool to watch the in-car and see your emotions right after a race. Not sure if anyone else does what you do but that leads me to a serious question. On a lot of your videos we see lots of racing and I’ve been wondering if Floracing or anyone else had any issues that you do this. Like copyrights and all that. We watch your in-car and see a lot of laps from the stands, which I don’t know if you have someone up there or if it’s the actual broadcast. Either way, I love it but hope they don’t have any “legal” concerns for what you do.

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

I use mostly my video. I use some Flo overlays and i show their broadcast every once and a while, but it always has their water mark on the bottom right! So no issues!

[@bjw9529]

@@LandonHuffmanRacing Good deal! Glad they don’t mind. Thanks for the reply!

[@almstlegalgarage]

Looked like you had a fast car. Standard mid pack wreck at the start. Then Just got stuck in traffic. Running people over like that for 15th is total bs. I would have rammed him back too! 😂

[@LandonHuffmanRacing]

just dumb honestly lol, I still had fun

[@OddballHillbilly419]

Loved the video, always do. I've always had an issue with the point that you were making. A lot of these kids can drive but very few know how to race. I know you understand the difference in the two. It's why I don't agree with 12/13 year Olds running LMSC. It's why I don't believe an 18/19 has any business near an Xfinity/Cup car. You still need to learn etiquette, the importance of give/take, why you shouldn't plow over someone for 15th. All this comes with experience. Sorry if that doesn't make sense but it sounded right in my head lol.

[@danielmoore6513]

Wait I thought in legends they didn’t use the clutch to shift?

[@charlesblake3370]

Interesting what kind of speed and motor is in those things?

[@bmc1717]

Are y’all taking a break with the late model?… I didn’t see your name on the sheets for the Hickory race the other night.

Was that one of Tommy Baldwin's kids? Hard to have respect with that full rear bumper.

[@startmoneymotorsports]

what is that mount your using on your visor for the gopro??

[@TmartucciJr77]

It’s a lot of the same stuff honestly. People going balls to the walls for nothing when they have nothing to win, I’ve learned that quite a bit this year at my local track (New London-Waterford Speedbowl) when people from the back who start there that are fast try to make things stick within a lap or two and it causes chaos. They are fun to drive but man some people don’t think about the money involved in it.

unfortunately you are not wrong

Go karts is the same way people will move people out of the way instead of passing them. i wish they would take the bodys off the go karts and let them learn to drive around people instead of trough them. make stupid hurt again

[@JaredBeaucage]

I hear MoonHeads voice after you got ran over at end kf the race "Ohh The Chase is On!!" .. and you told him "we are running dead last you idiot"... and thats the truth, in my area here in Ontario Canads we have OSSCAR HOTROD series.. and its supposed to be a show and shine/hobby series of old vintage cars and its caught on but people bump And wreck, they are almost open wheel cars with how wide the american racer slicks stick out, and racers build a camaro out of plastic and go smash into guys who hand crafted metal Galaxy, or 68-67 Camaros..

Old vintage cars but Late Model or super stock Chassis and crate engine
