[@OldHeadSC]

I really appreciate no spoilers in the title. Was an intense watch. One of my favorites so far. 👊

[@staceybowen8129]

Hold your head up ! It’s hard to race on a one groove race track with out destroying your car , cars in one piece to race the next race ! Always a win at the next one ! I’m proud of the effort you put in !! Just keep adjusting and you will win more this year I know it !! # 56 #10

[@melwilson4802]

The amount of HTF crew and family that paid for pit passes probably pays the winners share!!

[@deanmckee1385]

Jonathan pleasure to watch HTF Team race. Get them next week

[@rickyb2200]

Good job Johnathon , you'll get it next time.

[@Swoldemort500]

I'm so thankful y'all were able to race and put out a 25 min video of something all of us here love to momentarily take our mind off the craziness going on in the world.

[@BAMRacingVideos]

I had a blast coming down from Indiana to watch you guys. Whoever recorded the feature from the stands stood RIGHT behind me as I was sitting to the left of the guy filming in the blue shirt. Hope to see you guys again some day

[@MrMadkaw400]

With you racing and having your other brother there to film it’s much better way to go to the whole family

[@oldschoolhoosier]

I know track surfaces can change but it changed unbelievably fast. Great run Johnathon. It’s great to see all the Hunt The Front Family and the all the supporters with you. You guys are truly loved and supported. We all are praying for a great and safe season for the Hunt The Front Family of racing.

[@54raceman]

Old School when a track is already messing tires up that bad in hot laps you can already tell it’s gonna be a one lane garbage track by end of night

[@rickysullivan4384]

Did y'all see tanner holmes vid rocking your shirt.

[@davidsallas5915]

I saw people laughing and having a good time drove the car back to the pits on its own power I would say that's a good night

[@brutbuckeye1121]

Great group of guys HTF!!!!

[@benrizzo2413]

Hey guys!! Comon!! Your racing!!!! And did great!!!! Your family was there and you were all together having fun! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@markpyles6515]

Enough said!! God Bless the Joiners.

[@szabiszabo1585]

They should have left the track with a little more banking in one and two. Now it’s a one grove start on pole carousel.

[@Cjohn31]

Maybe not after the bring in more clay and less sand

[@stevehill3102]

The 56 car looks and sounds awesome. Great vid, good run and always listen to Jesse! He races online....

[@HAMMERTYME1]

It's hard to call that a racetrack when you can't race it was definitely a one groove racetrack! Freight train track for sure!! And then only 15 laps, that's a freaking heat race at my track I'm not too impressed with with the so-called racing at this one groove track (CHO CHO) and congratulations to Bo Slay!!!🏁🏁

[@stewarth8390]

It’s hard to believe that such a big and wide track can be down to one lane. Not a lot you can do when you’re caught out on the outside. For the third race meeting with that car you guys can hold your heads up high for your result..... HTF 💪☝️

[@georgem.6136]

Track looks amazing!

[@470Greg]

Your always so cool and calm man. That’s probably the most bummed out I’ve seen you and yet you were still optimistic and looked on the bright side. Great racing man. Awesome to see the family out there too creating some great memories for everyone.

[@McCaye_7]

Im proud of you bro, keep digging

[@joshdickens3974]

Looks like you was doing good six. Spanish not bad hopefully you can get you some more wins good job can't wait to see your videos I'll be cheering for your 56 10 and the owner to cars whatever numbers on pick for them I'll cheer for everyone I yell

[@TheSteve1175]

I've adjusted my self out of a win or two. You just put it in the memory bank, and try not to do it again. Be Blessed and Be Safe 😇

[@kelvinreynolds6953]

Better luck next time guys that track needed more water got my 56/10shirtand hth today in the mail👍

[@allisonnelson9032]

You did good and learned a lot ! It was a safe race and you never quite trying ! Thanks again for the video really enjoyed it ! God bless to you and team !

[@michaeljohnson6529]

Sorry I rambled so much and bumped the send button a sentence to soon. I just wanted to end with.... Keep up the great work! Keep up the awesome videos! And just Keep On Being You Guys!!! Cause that’s the best part of who you all are!! Sincerely, MJ from the Burgh!!! PS: I’ll be ordering more #HTF apparel tonight! My Little Man is begging me for a hat, shirt, and hoodie!! LOL Thanks to you all and God Bless!

[@davidburchfield2720]

It sounded like you was pulling to much gear !!!! But you did a good job Driveing an staying out of trouble 15 laps is a heat race !!! Love the videos and HTF God bless you'll !!!

[@deebo3864]

My dad passed away unexpectedly last night in his sleep. We werent as close as we shouldve been because of me. I have tremendous regrets. 34 years old and my dad is gone forever. Your videos have been keeping me above water so far. Im so broken

[@kennethdispain1807]

Good race guys

[@Brianjohnson121]

just keep pushing !

[@robertbettis6552]

track looks awesome

[@MidpackMania]

So stoked to have racing videos again!

[@randynbham]

There's a lot of bite available at Talladega Short Track!!!! Bring her on up!!!!! I need to buy a HTF T-shirt:)

[@chadwickconley7901]

Good job joanthan u were wheelin that car

[@jasontidmarsh2212]

Love and respect for all the team. Great effort get the chequered next time Johnathan 🏁🏁

[@easttexan2933]

I don't know enough about dirt track racing to comment. I just enjoy watching yall's videos and the interaction/camaraderie between you guys and family. I especially enjoy seeing how yall treat other folks at the track. Dirt racing is an expensive hobby though. That much I can tell.

[@darrencharles1910]

It looks slick

[@testerracing1251]

Jonathan: Woohoo let's go racin!!!! Jesse: Esskeetit!!! Lol love you guys!

[@donaldtouchton9523]

This is my new crack.! Can’t wait for 2021

[@joego7924]

Out in California, everything is almost closed, can't go to the bar or restaurant, it's raining, nice to see you guys racing! Let's gettem next time!

[@larc9311]

We were there Saturday night looking forward to watching you guys race. Before you made it on the track, I got a call that my DAD had passed away and had to leave. Hopefully you guys will be back to Deep South!

[@bayareaadventures4432]

I like the drive in races in turn 1 and 2. We used to have that in 3 and 4 at our track but not anymore.

[@bigjohn7980]

Good job team

[@kobymckenzie1457]

I’m looking at all these comments about how the track is bad well this is my home track and it was shut down for a couple years and used to only be like 5 classes if that 9 classes with over 150 cars is pretty damn good for this track yea they could have done a better job to the track but I am really impressed from what this track has came from

[@mikeprince998]

Hey I just enjoy watching the videos nice family I learn a lot from y'all me and my oldest son races keep digging dirt daddy

[@bobowlowgrowing6387]

Yes, just like everyone else is saying, looked like a follow the leader track to me!

[@jasonmiller2373]

Man I thought y’all had something. Tough track. Glad everyone made it home safely. God bless

[@johnsharpe1118]

Looked good love seeing everyone there makes it all worth it!! 🤙🤙

[@kyfarmboy1025]

'KERFUNKLE' pronounced as a noun. Definition "a mess" LOL LOL

[@y2ytwo]

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced kerfuffle.

[@tuckeranderson7744]

I hope you win it Jonathan Joiner

[@rodconner9079]

That wasn't bad at all ... still fun to watch. Ya always hope for a win but it can't happen every time out. Now, when ya return -- you'll be in a much better position to adjust for improvement!!! Be Safe

[@fyingace14]

Awesome video professor.

[@stevereese6488]

Heck of a hole in turns 1 and 2, that's racing, looked like once you got on the bottom you could go, few cars pinched coming off turn 2. Looked good.

[@120man]

Another great video, we were all hoping for the W. Stay healthy y'all.

[@scottdickinson613]

I’m surprised they didn’t have one on its lid with the bumps in 1. Tough break but the car is in one piece and everybody is safe and able to race another day. You’ll get ‘em next time.

[@tjax-quackersracing3597]

Awesome video and good job in the race can’t wait to see more keep it up 👍

[@georgedrawdy231]

I have to agree on several points others have made. Put the banking back!!, tear up a brand new car for 1000.00 purse? Hell no!!. I think the track promoter should have done a better job, over 2 hours in line for 1000.00?🤬. Great video and good to see the whole gang together!! Head up Johnathan great job that’s racing!🏁🇺🇸👊🐊

[@HomeSlice_2424]

9 different series you cant go bankrupt for just one weekend.

[@sandsracing5499]

Y’all have to come race in Tennessee. We have the best race tracks around from the powder Y’all race on to good ole red clay. We have flat tracks and a a few tracks that are banked like Talledega (NASCAR track). Almost all of our tracks pay $1,200 to win just for a weekly show in 604 crates

[@jerrydavis1191]

I just found u guys and I believe I have watched every video the last 3 days! Love what you do, it reminds me of our shop, dirt daddy seems a little softer than our Crew Chief LOL! Keep up the good work and get to the bottom a little quicker next time!

[@davecushing5500]

Nice work on fast track time ( unofficially )

[@mugrootersroadhouse8977]

Not going to comment on the race but the video was very good. Too bad Joshua cant be around more to run the camera & free you up a little.

[@jarridhelms1568]

I like that drink you got there

[@christopherkelley78]

That’s it we’re getting a new crew chief Jesse is now the crew chief LOL get them Jessie.

[@blakeharris8181]

Y'all should come to the bama bash at East Alabama motor speedway on the 28th

[@davidstruble6199]

Great laps on the new car. That was a 15 lap practice for you now on to the front !

[@davidadcock1475]

Only 3 races on the car so far that I've seen...... 1 W - 2L in it

[@coppleracing4330]

Good job guy's ..... Awesome videos. 👍 keep up the good racing .... From Colorado

[@robertbradford2734]

Track needs more banking nice job though on saving the equipment for another night!✌

[@travishanner9970]

Track was one groove, you got stuck on the top...good job bringing it home in one piece. BTW, y'all need to send some HTF swag to Joshua...people at Callahan Speedway asking about it, I sent them to the page, but he could sell shorts and hats at the track!!

[@MrMadkaw400]

When you went out for the hot lap and to the bottom I was yelling at my iPad yeah it’s fast

[@jeremycolston8383]

Definitely faster than where ya finished. That's the bad part about a one line track. I think as the track gets more laps on it, it will be a nice track to race on. God bless

[@edwardvanhoose6764]

One lane race track. Tough night brother. That's a descent looking track but it would shore be nice if we could race on more than one lane. Hold ur head up Jon it was good seat time in the new capital i believe thats only ur third race in that car. On a one lane race track. Cant wait to meet yall at ELDORA.

[@ninney794]

Shout out to Mr Dennis. Congratulations on your retirement sir! I shoot plastic for General Motors. Shout out to HTF as well, Keep Diggin Boys!!

[@grandpa-of-3898]

Just breaking the ice for this year looking good keep focused be careful but remember point it and let her eat

[@bjsgarageandmods8081]

Tough track to read. Good job. You'll get better, still new chassis to used to.

[@Ryan.Fuller34]

Y’all need to make a trip to Vado speedway, NM. I love the family aspect y’all bring to racing!

[@mikedavisclassiccountry8704]

Great video guys you'll get em next time 👍👍👍

[@bccratemotoradventures2485]

Wow I’ve been waiting all Sunday and today for this video. That’s not nice. Lol. Glad I’m seeing this

[@nashguy207]

Tough luck buddy but as they say thats racing. We can't win all o them. Good job driving and staying out of trouble. God Bless!!!

[@VictoryModified18]

Good run. Sounds like a gear change might’ve helped get back up front?

[@camshaflober3691]

Any day at the track is a good day in my book. Great racing as always you cant win them all. Ole #2 showing out already

[@dougbay]

Oh that k God inlaws waiting for this video... I'm dirt track racing deprived lol

[@robertjackson8020]

looks like a fast track the world of outlaws could race 3 and 4 wide good job on a 6 TH place finish

[@jacobkramer7323]

Yea that was a long night but hey you truned tbe fastest time.... go get them next week and congratulations to bo

[@jedbodinebaseball130]

Full send!

[@kart44]

WOW your safety standards are lower than Australia. No fire undergarments, Kids in the pits etc. So relaxed

[@donaldmathis4927]

Car looked good and you did good for the hand you were dealt. Nice looking track, to bad it was one lane.

[@gregoryrapier3021]

That is so great to see all the racers. Here in California our problem is there is so much to do that racing has to fight for them fans. Back in the 60s and 70s and 80s we had 60 to 80 cars show up. If I could talk my wife into it I would move to Florida just for the racing. That is the way racing should be.

[@jerrydavis1191]

Yep I can attest, back in the 70s at Saugus, 605, Mesa Marin, Orange Show it was a full field every night. We won our share with Ruttman, Easley, Chuck Becker, Trickle, and Dietjens driving for us, had some tough competition against some of the same guys plus Inslo, and Ivan the terrible Baldwin, McGriff, Elder, and the Esau boys. That was the West coast hay days!

[@Thmper517]

How great to see your family pray with you, and your mom right before a race. Stay safe, Armor ON, God bless in Jesus's Mighty Name.

[@sethosborne1292]

Did y'all see tanner Ike shirt rocking your racing get a win good bleed you and say safe.

[@michaeljohnson6529]

This comment goes out to you all.... My Man / My Men / Wive’s and Girlfriends / Friends / The Entire #HTF Crew!! The above defined (in my eyes) as the.... Baddest, Bestest, Most Family and Friend Oriented Racing Crew I’ve ever seen in all my years of being at the tracks and helping out on the crew of crate late models, limited late’s, and super late’s that I helped out on for a very good and dear to me friend and his son up here in Pittsburgh, Pa for years and years until the son had a baby and hung up the steering wheel (hopefully only temporarily)!! But seriously, to one heck of a group of people that amazes me more and more with every video I watch. #HTF #HuntTheFront #FamilyFirst #FamilyDirtRacing #JesusLives #JesusLovesDirtRacing #BestPitCrewEver (yes I just created some on these # tags 😂😂😂) Do not get down! Do not be upset! You had the best car out there, the fastest car out there (lap times prove it) but given the one groove you had to work with and being a self funded team, you did what you could and came home with a good finish and most important a complete, non-tore-up (sorry English teacher) race car! And for that, you need to hold your heads high, smile like you owned it and won (cause you did), and just go getem’ (sorry English teacher again..lol) next time!! There’s lots more racing left this year and I know and believe in my heart that there are a lot of wins/checks to hang up (Joesph said he wants five more) in the race shop that will be coming for both of you (Jonathan & Joesph) thought out this racing season. Hell......#DirtDaddy and #JesseEnterkinHTF (love the I-Racing my man) might even wheel one of the cars to a win this year!? As I said before, don’t get down or upset, it’s just racing!! And compared to all the other teams out there that are just like yours who do it for fun, and not for a living, and don’t have any major sponsorship backing to help pay for the best equipment, you guys are all for sure at the top of the game and field! You all should be so proud of how you go out week after week and contend for the pole and for the victory!! Especially after working the jobs and hours that you all do and then continue night after night to work on all the race cars!! And I am sure that I ain’t (sorry Mr. English Teacher again......please don’t give me detention and I’m done apologizing for bad grammar 😂😂) the only one who feels that you all are the ones to beat when it comes to the independent teams without all the major sponsorships and financial backing that the other big gun teams have! And for that, I’ll say it again, that you all should be so proud of what you do and how competitive you all are! Keep it up, and please keep the videos coming! I’m already a Patreon subscriber but thinking I’m gonna try and increase my subscription to the next higher!!

[@htfdirtdaddy8625]

Thank you for this comment, it is people like you that make us do what we do.

[@bjwoolbright7708]

Bubba u said a mouthful. But every word was on the money . Couldn't have said it better myself .

[@Living_EDventures]

Good hunt Jonathan.

[@chadleonard7293]

Sounds like this track takes a lot of motor and the ol' 604 doesn't quite have enough.

[@gregoryrapier3021]

Like the track. Sounded like the engine was getting pulled down just a little in the corners. May have been better if you had the next lower gear. Loved the video reminded my of my days crew chiefing at San Jose speedway. We were a front running team there with the winged supermods. Some days the best laid plans of mice and men. What kind of rollout do you run? With the supers we ran a lot from half an inch to on a high bank as much as 20 inches. I know that's a lot but it worked on the high bank track we ran no a few times. The funny thing is the driver could pull the fronts off 2 or 3 feet and the car still ran straight down the front and back straights. Go get-me next time.

[@mikegary6183]

did they shorten the laps because it took too long to get all the racer's registered? perhaps they should of opened the gates earlier. anyways good job guys. one of these days I'm going to travel and come watch in person. God bless

[@twu7569]

It was a money grab for the track. Seemed like the payout was a little low.

[@mikepriceup]

Almost sounded like you needed a different rear gear in the hot rod.

[@user-oc6qs1po3j]

I thought same thing they pulled him down the straight If it was easy there would be girl scouts doing it

[@burnychaplin4601]

Yeah that's right that's what a buddy of mine used to say if it was easy any one could do it

[@jameyhowell9305]

Hey my brother you did an awesome job of driving enjoyed the video brother keep them coming and yall be blessed in Jesus name

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

Getem' next time!!!

[@brentjones3338]

Jonathan, better luck next time. Track looked like it was getting rough ( big hole) between 1 and 2.

[@ronnieking1025]

Its Bo Time

[@WolfPackRacing]

Kid you need to be so freaking close to the person beside you in the race that you will pull the graphics off their car. I know you like your car, but you need to be willing to trash it every race. Listen to the rpm level you had durning hot laps, you never let off once. Stop giving anyone anything, make them take it...! Y'all channel is my go to for this stuff, keep it up.

[@twu7569]

Why beat up your car for such a small pay day. It was only $1000 to win.

[@WolfPackRacing]

@@twu7569 are you one that want to just race on a Saturday for fun? I have never been in any race of any type not wanting to win. First place trophy for my grandson money for me. If the car takes a beating, it can be fixed. That is the definition of a race car.

[@twu7569]

​@@WolfPackRacing YES racing should be fun. I have raced dirt done well and I'm not going to beet up my equipment for a low payout riding around not competitive. All the good drivers do that. I always saved money avoiding people like you describe on the track. Sorry you take such offense to that.
