[@bjwoolbright7708]

Mrs Joiner said "U being too precautious, U gotta stand on it old mad." That cracked me up. Jesse. Time to hit the shop hard, gotta get that HTF1 rolling

[@Slinging.Wrenches]

Also, gotta love when a guy rolls up with a open trailer and schools all the toterhome guys

[@matthewlundrideordie8151]

aint no trailer ever won a race....lololol

[@Slinging.Wrenches]

@@matthewlundrideordie8151 Just what's parked on it

[@matthewlundrideordie8151]

[@curtevans838]

Dirt Daddy will have himself a Capital Car before this is all over...LOL

[@jerm_9569]

You know it

[@cristianmendoza8017]

Curt Evans qubamayhwsiuhawjhhaakybww

[@bololokoma9855]

It warms my heart the fact that he will be remembered as the ‘dirt daddy’♥️♥️ he did great out there as well as Jonathan nice racing guys love from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@CORNDODGER]

BEER S MATE

[@duncoracing3139]

Great Job Jonathon! Dirt Daddy gonna be hard to handle once he knocks the rust off lol.

[@ronvonbon]

CONGRATS Jonathan, well deserved win. And dirt Daddy your attitude keeps the whole team going. Great group of guys !

[@MrMadkaw400]

Dirt daddy was as happy as a kid on Christmas morning

[@travishanner9970]

AWESOME WIN!!! Also, seeing Dirt Daddy racing was great. My dad raced, and got me started. I lost him 6 years ago, and this weekend was his birthday. This was an awesome present for him. He would've loved seeing dad out there. Thanks for doing that. You guys are the best!!!

[@bobowlowgrowing6387]

Been waiting on this all weekend! Kept checking to make sure I didn't miss the notification!

[@brandoshobbies5353]

What a great video ! And the look in your dad's eyes man he's like a little kid again great work you all and looking forward to seeing the new look on his car 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jasonmiller2373]

God bless y’all. The professor drove the wheels off that car. So blessed that y’all made it home safely. Hate it for dirt daddy but I think he had a lot of fun. That’s a great start to an amazing season

[@Slinging.Wrenches]

It had to be that right front shock and the beep beep inch toe Joseph put in the car 😂

[@johnogden119]

This stuff is better than anything on TV or Netflix. Great job Professor!!! Way to start the 2020 race season. Hunt the Front on Discovery Channel lol

[@Utubin]

No . If they get on Discovery Channel. Then they lose there true selves. Because they will be at the mercy of there contract pimps and screenwriters writing fake scripts. That would be the day for the end of the Jointer family as we see them here, selling there life's to money hungry pimps tv industry pimps. No thank you. I pray they don't fall for that.

[@deanbirkholz2754]

That's some serious driving when you have to put your race suit on to get car out of the pole barn.

[@artthurman3446]

Yes...but ripening!

[@jaywalker6928]

the professor gonna be points champ at the end of the year

[@Thmper517]

[@patwarson217]

I started racing at 15 I'm 47 now, and one of the main things that has kept me doing it is it's good honest fun and it brings people together,I can't even put a guess on how much money I've spent over the years but the memories of my kids and friends are fresh as the day they happened,I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world, thanks for sharing the videos

[@joshuamillan7457]

Congrats Jonathon and congrats Dirt Daddy for making a heck of a run! It was good to see both of y'all running together. Now get Jesse and Joseph in on it to see how they do. 👍🏁

Congrats Jonathon , I forgot you mentioned Bo was going to be in the 9 . I was like where did this guy come from at the end I had to go back and watch it again. Tell Dirt Daddy he did fine for his first time back. It's hard jumping off the pit box and into the driver's seat right off the bat lol.

[@bobbytaylor3177]

Congrats on the win... Good to see Dirty Daddy getting it done... We live in Dothan and would like to come over and watch you race one weekend...

[@beavervalleyupdatesmore740]

[@jeremycolston8383]

Awesome job Johnathan! Car looked good, and you done a FINE job wheelin it. Dirt Daddy looked good as well. He gets a little more use to it, he's gonna be tuff for sure. Great to see the crew Chief back out there telling Dad and Pawpaw how to get it done. Crew done a fine job as well. Looking forward to the next race. I appreciate all the hard y'all do on these videos. Thanks for taking us along. God bless y'all

[@MidpackMania]

Congrats Johnathan! That’s the best driving I’ve seen out of you, ol’ Bo was making me nervous when he was creeping up tho lol.

[@brianfield9252]

love how proud of him you boys are. Such a great family

[@stevenrogers9174]

Great job Jonathan on the win, it looked awesome. Hope you didn’t have any issues with your eyes this week, if you did it sure didn’t show. Also, great job Dirt Daddy, you started on a tough track being those sprint cars were there, they got it slicked up for you. Awesome job bringing the car back in one piece that’s all that matters. Can’t wait to see Joseph next week, also Jesse in the 602 and Michael in the old 56 that would be good too. I sure appreciate the time and work on getting these videos done. I too hope you all get to sit down as a team and watch the race afterwards and pick them apart. We always did that on Monday nights before working on the car for next week, it always helped so much. HTF !!!

[@justinm1150]

CONGRATZ to both of you the new car took off like a rocket looked like it was smooth and very fast and diggin
