It hurt me to see Jesse and Joseph holding back tears. Shows you just how much this race means to them.

[@warrendarr2231]

I’m a long retired racer. I want to just say that was a heck of a run! Every team that was there DEFINITELY knows who you are now. Regroup take a deep breath put your passion and pain to your advantage you’re coming back stronger than ever!!!!!! HTF

[@joeblow3435]

Seems your Easley impressed...

[@aarondostie7366]

Won't be long before we see the HTF crew in victory lane at Eldora. I don't understand why these guys have any haters they're some of the most humble guys around.

[@Tony-ip3mo]

Always going to be haters when somebody is good at what they do

[@aarondostie7366]

Sounds like one in the comments lol I've commented on a million videos I've followed them since the beginning I've never had a response from them but I'm not butthurt, people take this KZbin stuff too seriously. Go to a race and meet them in person they will definitely talk to you. How do you know how much they work as well? Running a race team that size is definitely a full time business apparently you don't know much about racing

[@Full_Throttle81]

Man that is a tough break. It can't be sunshine and roses all the time when your racing. There's one thing about it though, they all know you came to play with the big boy's this year. Tremendous job to the entire crew! They all will be taking a hard look at y'all come dream time, guarantee that.

Glad to see Joseph was in good spirits by the end of the night

[@dennisbantz2513]

Be proud of what you guys accomplished here. Yes it’s a big hit in more than one way but be thankful Joseph wasn’t hurt and he done a fantastic job. Good things will come from this run.

[@christiangallagher117]

I have been watching for about 4 years now. That wreck is the first hard one I have seen. That is an impressive record considering all the racing he does. The team was fast. The team was competitive on the biggest stage in the late model world. That is something to be proud of. Cars and parts can be replaced, the most important thing is there were no serious injuries. Loved watching the videos from Eldora. I hope you go back. thanks

[@petepolaco4071]

Your brother said it best it hurts for a little bit but don't let it hold you down. You boys got a great attitude. The chassis goes to longhorn. You pull out another chassis and go race. You remember you had to expect it. It really wasn't that bad. Make a huddle regroup and let's get it going again. Please hold it together guys everything will be alright.

[@russlardinois5751]

Worth a week of jig time. New rear end chassis needs to be spliced in. And realigned.

[@russlardinois5751]

R @ R it. Sell it and buy new chassis

[@barryschneider7913]

Sending prayers and glad no one got hurt .

[@peavinehall4749]

Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. But it’s the willingness to keep fighting that is most important. Proud HTF fan!

[@gobbler1957]

Great to see that Joseph, with the Longhorn and Jay Dickens Engine did run with top the contenders. HTF Crew did a magnificent job preparing the car. Great seeing Joseph run up front. Awesome to see #10 set fast time in his group. Thank the Lord Joseph was not injured. Have a safe drive home.🏁

[@ronvonbon]

I am so sorry for you guys. But you do have a great HTF team to be proud of, great mechanics, great videographers, great merch people, great drivers and great families. Have fun and be safe please.

[@billhawkins1324]

I have a wrist band that says, “You may see me struggle, but you will never see me give up.” That fits you guys. Fun to watch a group of guys that care about one another, love what they are doing, and have fun along the way. Keep it up!

[@Myknickers]

Just glad nobody got hurt. Couldn’t be more proud of you guys.

Valiant effort guys. Sometimes you have a tough night but that was a big hit. Glad Joseph is ok. Get them next time

[@primetime1868]

Joe joe i know it hurts but your still one of the best drivers out there . the jump you guys made from last years eldora to this years eldora is insane and i know you guys are already to come back.

[@kyleblocher181]

Did anybody else gasp out loud when JJ and Hudson switched places? Thank goodness for either Huddy seeing it coming or just happened to be switching lanes bc that had ER visit written all over it

[@ronvonbon]

I didnt gasp as i have seen it so many times and Hudson wouldnt have turned Jojo into the wall. Like when Hudson gave Jojo the slide job in 3-4, he trusted Jojo not to blow into the back of him, they remember that stuff. Jojo doesnt dirty people on putpose.

[@tomgray5481]

That move is why Hudson won a 100,000 last night at Kokomo

[@deronshank75]

@@tomgray5481 That move is why Huddy has garnered his old man's nick name at such a young age already, Bending Steel, little Oneal!!!!! And it's not that I don't like Huddy, I do he's got a great deal of talent, is a great driver, just has a reputation already that follows him everywhere already at such a young age.

Hudson put him in the wall?

[@rebeccareeves1549]

That "oh sh**" moment with Hudson just before JoJo got in the wall could have been real bad Holy crap !! Man, what a tough hit with Brandon. Hate it for him too. Anyway, just like Joshua said ya can't let it keep ya down. Keep your heads up. Keep diggin !!

[@obsessioniskey]

Glad to see you all work through the learning curve and get that car rolling and competitive. Sorry to see the wreck and so much get tore up. Blessed that Joseph is all good and looking forward to more videos

Well boys... Comming from an Indiana man who has followed Mid - West dirt track racing from the womb.... Y'all can say, it's bound to happen! From all the Squirrels I've seen you dodge for years!!! And the fast rut bit ya! Well just to say you can hit the fast rut at ELDORA is more then an understatement!!! **QUICK TIME**GROUP B**BABY!!! HUNT THAT FRONT🤘🏻

Top knotch group of guys here! Keep your head up boys, y'all have improved tremendously since the 1st time Joe took his 1st lap at Eldora! 💪🏁

[@user-ru2kr1ns7h]

Richard Petty used to say "It's one of them racin' deals". It hurts to see you guys hurt. HTF is climbing a mountain and you guys have made great progress. Think where HTF was even 2-3 years ago. Proud to have been a supporter and have greatly enjoyed watching HTF grow. You are now in league with the top teams. Keep up the good work.

[@danielbevier5813]

Hang in there! That is racing. The important thing is that EVERYONE at Eldora knows that you were there and you were BAD FAST!!! You really turned some heads!!! More exposure may = more sponsorship $ down the road. Everyone knows that money buys speed and you guys are deserving. Even though it did not go the way you wanted it to, you guys have 100 reasons to be proud!!! I think that HTF earned a lot of respect from your fellow racers this past weekend. GO - Hunt The Front!!!!!!!!

[@joeblow3435]

Money olny gets you so far...

Apparently he can't handle the speed!!! Been into the wall in every race at Eldora. Took out one of the top 3 points drivers in the country!!!

[@tomgray5481]

I don’t understand why people right now they know he was there anybody that follows dlm racing knows Joseph is a very good dlm driver He made the world 100 the first year he was there so I don’t know why people take this is such a big surprise

Sad sight after such a productive weekend. Ya bettered yourselves every time ya got on the track. You and the entire crew. Ya have A LOT to be happy for and proud of. I remember the first trip to Eldora. Seeing the car mashed up was like losing a old friend. Glad you're okay Joseph. Better times will come.

Hated to see that happen man my 2 kids were absolutely heart broken after that hated that we didn’t get to talk to you guys but I gotta say a big thank you to Joseph for talking to us after the main event Saturday I know it was a hard thing to do especially since the car was destroyed but it did make my boys night to get to talk to him

I am sure it doesn’t help much but for what its worth, watching the team grow through the channel every week, brings me great joy. It will be ok. Keep Hunting the Front. I was There Friday and you all got a lot of Cheers in the stands when ever they would talk about your times etc.

[@DUN1231]

[@NoXqses11]

Ok so as we say, " that's racing" but you were quick time in your and you pulled out a third place finish last night. I'd say that's a real accomplishment and had it not been for the tear off you stood to finish no worse than 3rd. So while the damage was extensive you have a lot of great things to take away from this. And I know it doesn't make you guys feel any better but facts are facts and you guys made some serious noise this time. Besides that we and I think I can say I speek for every Hunt the Front fan, WE ARE ALL PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!!

[@NoXqses11]

Sorry, quick time in hot laps
