The Place Your Mama Warned You About! Joseph’s First Race at Cherokee Speedway

[@primetime1868]

It kind of doesn't matter what you think of Cherokee speedway with that crowd of fans behind the hauler after the race how can you not come back. That was impressive.

[@cameronpack9566]

Cherokee is the closest track to me but there’s always a packed house no matter who’s there or what series is running they pack it out weekly

God Bless you guys. Please say a prayer for my wife Karen. Last Thursday Morning She had her first ever seizure at 51 years of age. Cause is infection from her Sinuses. She had Brain surgery Monday and is on day two of recovery. She is a tuff girl. God Bless you guys and NEVER take JESUS off that car or your life. Praying to Jesus will change your life. Pulling for you guys.

the way joseph saws at the wheel all the time, im surprised you don't have a lot more rack issues

[@teresagoodwin7458]

I am thrilled to know Joseph liked Cherokee enough to come back. It's a great track although dusty at times. It's a fast track and Joseph did awesome for his 1st trip here to Lancaster and Cherokee. And to get an 11th place finish for the first time here is in a way a win because the car is still in one piece even though the tires wouldn't have lasted but another couple of laps if it had been a longer race.. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WAY Y'ALL TAKE TIME FOR YOUR FANS AND Y'ALL SIGNED A BUNCH OD AUTOGRAPHS. Y'ALL ARE GREAT ROLE MODELS FOR THE YOUNGER FANS THAT LOOK UP TO Y'ALL AND WANT TO DO EXACTLY WHAT Y'ALL DO. AND YOUNGER CHILDREN NEED MORE POSITIVE INSPIRATIONAL ROLE MODELS LIKE Y'ALL!! FOR THAT A HUGE THANK YOU BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH UGLY CRAZINESS IN THE WORLD AND KIDS ARE EXPOSED TO SO MUCH NEGATIVITY AND BULLYING AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT THE PARENTS AT LEAST SOME PARENTS JUST LET THE KIDS DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH LITTLE TO NO SUPERVISION AND IT'S SUCH A BLESSING TO HAVE GOOD ROLE MODELS LIKE ALL OF Y'ALL AT HTF. KEEP BEING AWESOME AND KEEP GOD ON YOUR CAR AND IN YALL'S HEARTS BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE ON FIRE WITH TONS OF FANS NO MATTER WHAT STATE OR TRACK Y'ALL ARE RACING AND THERE'S GOING TO BE LOT'S MORE VICTORIES COMING SOON 🏁🏆🏁💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 LOVE YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS EACH OF Y'ALL AND Y'ALL'S RESPECTIVE FAMILIES NOW AND ALWAYS 💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻AMEN🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Keep digging at it, started 10th, fell back to 15th then back up to 11th is pretty good for a first time track, you guys are doing just fine, that’s racing

[@gailtaylor1636]

Joseph is generally pretty good at saving his stuff for these longer races. Track was harder on tires than they expected. Almost didn't finish. Kept Overton behind him with worn out tires. They gaining on it. Should be getting top fives tho.

[@TheHeaddog]

That Fan line had to make up for losing a position at the end! You’re turning into regular Rock Stars!

[@bubbaakatommyoso4119]

Damn when I was 12 that track was so much faster believe it or not but they changed the track configuration to a 3/8s they chopped the turns their wide but shorter then they was I used to watch my buddy's uncle race Ray Tucker I was at the North South shootouts Ray was in a White #1 With the Ford symbol on the side if you go watch 1995 and 96 races at Cherokee u will see Ray Tucker he drove a factory ride because he was so good like The #1 Valvoline is a factory car Thats what my buddys cousins and uncle all race alot at Countyline raceway eastern NC

[@woofersd2383]

Fantastic Race. Wayyyyyyyy better finish. Good job Team.

[@uniqueone2731]

I don’t know if it’s just me but it’s starting to feel like Overton could win with a big boat anchor dragging behind his car. A great video guys. I think the orange car is messing up things. Just need a win to get the ball rolling

[@gailtaylor1636]

They got lost in the weeds on the set-up. Tried one of the guru's stuff that bunch of top guys are running and couldn't make a feature. Too tight for Joseph. Back to LongHorn rec set-up and at least making the main now. Need to fix a few things. A fan shroud/better fan shroud and some kind of shaker screen would be nice. They changed motor mounts and mid-plate while back and have had oil pump belt issues every since. Need to get the laser level out and get it lined up.

[@longtimedirt6409]

I’ve been watching y’all since the beginning. Let me give some back ground on myself so I’m not an arm chair racer like a lot of people on here. I’ve been racing some form for 60 Years. I’ve raced in 5 foreign countries. I won 3 world championships and A lot of national championships . So I know a little about what I’m talking about . It’s seems like to me Joesph is a good driver. When y’all run local shows he kicks ass. But when it’s the bigger races with big name drivers I think he gets to jacked up the first 1/4 of the race and it takes the rest of the laps to get back towards the front . Most of the time he runs out of laps before he can get back in the top 5. He has been driving long enough and is a good enough driver it shouldn’t take him but a lap or two to find his groove. I think he needs to relax and not get so wound up at the start of the race. He’s a good enough driver and he’s proven that he can run with any of the big name guys. Y’all just need to find a way to get him to relax and drive from the start to finish. In the heat races he a different driver than in the feature. Relax and enjoy it Buddy and you’ll be in Victory lane a lot. Most of the features you fall like a rock and then you always battle back to a top 10. That proves you have what it takes to drive you just have to calm yourself down at the start. It’s not going to happen over night you just have to train yourself to stay calm. Good Luck.

[@gailtaylor1636]

Joseph will never have the Winger style of driving. Super aggressive from first lap. He's more of a make it last till the end.

Gotta say, yet again, how much I like the orange car.

[@markschultheis5931]

Good racing boys. If you watch overton front tires , doesn't seem like he is counter steering very much his car looks to drive straight through the corners. I guess that part of the way he sets his car up? Is that something ya all look at? As always go get em boys.👍

[@steve-gl3cw]

Yall need to try the JaxWax stuff to keep the car slick and clean they might even be interested in sponsorship

[@JimmyJolly-d8v]

Come back in November for the BLUE/GREY 100 if not sooner . You need track time to be good at Cherokee

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Clearly water is a rare commodity at that place. Dry slick and dusty, and that was in qualifying! Tyres should have been HARD as it was going to rear them up eventually. Though restarts sometimes lets them 'seal over' and have no drive or side bite

I think that one is still in the machine shop getting refreshed, though at this point the time it's taken to get it back it might be undergoing something closer to a complete rebuild. Unless the shop is backlogged with work it's taking a lot longer than a refresh should. They had that issue with their Clements earlier in the season (oil pump belt failure I think) and got their engine serviced and back within a week.

[@gailtaylor1636]

[@uniqueone2731]

I raced karts for a number of years and I definitely could notice a difference in the dirt from one track to another especially from the different states. If the track didn’t get enough water put down it would get dusty and a lot of the time it would become following the leader for 20 laps of dusty boring racing. This is the worse dust issue I have seen on your channel the worst in years. It seemed pretty racy still but the dust looked super bad and I’m sure it messed up the ability to see. I would like to ask is it a lack of water on the track or the type of dirt maybe the amount of cars or a mixture of the 3 ? Maybe something else? Could someone explain if you don’t mind?

That hand pain comes from Joseph's neck. I wore a 4 lb. fire helmet for hours at a time and would get the same thing. Watch his head in the videos. His neck is taking a beating. Get him hooked up with a chiropractor. They should be able to get him fixed up.
