same here i did not watch dirt racing until i seen there channel and then joined,i have been an asphalt guy my whole life i'm 57 and now i want to go to some dirt tracks

[@bobbyklein9685]

Same. I'm not a dirt guy either but do check these guys out. I'd like to see them run more asphalt. Would like to see him in the same equipment as the leaders next time

[@Cjohn31]

Same not big on dirt but been watching because of Joseph

[@MrShark4488]

i bet in the same equipment as the leaders he would for sure be a up front contender to deal with

[@davidoverstreet0246]

It’s definitely different but I kinda like the asphalt videos. Something new that I haven’t seen on KZbin before.

I really hope that folks understand what a MAJOR accomplishment this race was. Out of the box to run in the top 10 is incredible!!!!

Yup, if the radio didnt get him behind some. Joeseph may have been 7th possibly.

And, there was a full field of cars. It's not like he got 11th out of 12 cars. I'm extremely impressed - I had no idea he would do this well.

But the only thing is he finished 11th and lost a lap to the leader. He had a decent night no need for visions of grandeur calm down a bit

[@stevenrogers9174]

Get job Joseph !!! We raced dirt first and thought about running asphalt at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. We went for a visit to learn and watch some other dirt guys that were running there. The one thing we learned that night you better have your sponsors lined up a ready to go. So if you have everything lined up for a asphalt program then go for it. If not the awesome thing is you have 3 awesome cars at the garage. The other thing we learned was about 5 years later those dirt guys running asphalt found their way back to running dirt full time. Plus, we really liked the dirt but, we wanted to try a new challenge. Glad we stayed in dirt but, we traveled a lot and that was really fun. Thanks for the vlog look forward to your video Jonathan !!

[@vernonmargheim2742]

Fantastic job Joseph. Learning how to drive different types of cars can only help your dirt program. That was impressive

[@darrencharles1910]

Man that was awesome. Ole Driver has great car control. So fun to watch him take care of the equipment.

[@CodyLehman]

Hell yes!! I grew up at the dirt and asphalt tracks and hate how dirt guys a lot of times seem to have a thing out for paved oval racers. Thank y’all for being open minded even if nothing else comes of this. Had family race on dirt and pavement and it’s just a completely different skill set that you can’t understand until you’re behind the wheel or around it so much. Good on y’all!

[@guitarman864]

Its cool that you all got this opportunity, real race car drivers love all types of racing no matter what

[@Brian-vd4mg]

Jeremy seems like a great guy and teacher. I hope you ask him to provide support for a couple more races as part of the deal. He will obviously speed up the learning curve.

That would be a huge learning curve. But if y’all decide to get into that some I’d definitely watch. Invite him to run the 602 sometime. They seem like cool guys as well.

[@rodconner9079]

Love it!!! What more can be said, huh? - I'm impressed, maybe more-so "proud" of Joseph -- looking at result and "end result". No doubt what-so-ever he could have pushed and "rode the edge" and got more out of it, easily could have picked up a tenth or so ... but again - "one the edge". Riding in a lil harder, just a bit more in the middle and taking a chance off just a lil harder --- but smarts, good-racing smarts (common-sense!) got him to the end. AWESOME!!!! And look, still able to hold it on the bottom --- pass on inside and outside. That was incredible for 1st time out!!! Hat's off to ya Joseph (and crews). Editing -- WOW!!! All that was beyond awesome, along with "OUR" typical view from the stands, more than we could have ever thought!!! Thanks to Pate and Crew! Jonathan, you've made a channel out of quality content --- the racer's point of view. The real, down-to-earth, wkend racer -- their perils/thoughts ... kinda logistics, sorta in a way. You, along with the crew(s), Dirt Daddy, Joseph, Jesse, Joshua and Bo -- others in the shop AND the ladies of HTF (everyone plays a role - ie, themselves!), nearly a one-on-one convo but talking to a group ---- just like friends as if they were present. You ( and guys) do what ya wanna or what ya wish to "share" ....... I'm tuning in. (Just one person's perspective!). Be Safe #HTFNation #DirtOnTwitch

Great job Joseph. Keep on doing what you guys are doing. Some of us really enjoy it. Race whatever or whenever u want.

[@alvarsdzenis4739]

Well done!!, for the 1st time in an asphalt car. You finished as well as the owner usually does. John Heil in the #96 car that won, drives a GARC chassis car. He also owns BMF Shocks & Chassis in Floresville, Texas. My daughter does media work for John Heil and her friend, Augie Grill of GARC (Grand American Race Cars). He's in Hayden Alabama, and is a 2 time Snowball Derby winner in his own equipment. These guys would be a big help if you decide to start an asphalt program. And by the way, the more powerful engines have a weight penalty. Good luck. Cheers🇨🇦

As an asphalt driver he did one heck of a great job, the transition is not many can do. Enjoyed seeing Joseph wheel an asphalt car. Its great he got instant feedback with a spotter so he could adjust as he raced. We are not allowed spotters or mirrors ourselves. Great job buy that car!!!!
