[@bigdaddys73nova]

I’m 56 been going to cedar lake for my whole life, sure great seeing you fellas there.

[@brentmead3131]

I love hearing the in car, playing with the throttle, hearing that engine scream. Good stuff

[@wiseguy2374]

Joseph drove his butt off in that heat. Nice job guys.

[@jameswolfe7323]

That's the best I've seen the car look since you guys have had it. Keep digging and I see good things coming.

[@purehades6885]

That was awesome qualifying. Unfortunate set of circumstances that placed you in the back of a heat and Joseph did well fighting up through the field. Great job by everyone and tough luck for prelim night. Kick some tail this weekend and hopefully y'all like the track because it's awesome!!!!

[@bodine4479]

Hell of job guys! Keep the momentum up this weekend! Put that 10 in victory lane! You live and you learn!

[@H3110NU]

I think Joseph owes the crew a dinner for that one.

[@kend6232]

Agreed. Jesse's face was like his puppy had gotten hit... :) hang in there, its a long weekend!

[@tongates8079]

Part of being on a crew is showing the driver where the scales are at.

[@ryanlane3529]

They were too excited for qualifying in front of big name drivers. too star struck! SMH!

[@petecastle5762]

Joseph does an excellent job at any track he hasn’t been on before, shows his true talent, although he has great sponsors I’d love to see someone come onboard so he could follow the Lucas series full time , it shows he has the talent.

[@2DSTORMS]

Missing something like that might set that back another year. Would be great to see him run for Championship and ROY.

[@Synic08]

Joseph looks good today, just his mood, his driving, all of it.... Its your guys job to keep him in THAT mood... i havent seen him like that in the videos in awhile.... maybe the skipping the scale took pressure off...? I dunno... he was fast as heck tho,

[@brianellis7291]

Nice job with the way the cards fell.! You could hear the car bogin down when on bottom a Converse to it open wide up when on top. Just like when you qualified and qualified good.! So take that into tomorrow night and Hunt the front for the "W"..!! Blessings and Prayers for you all and your families.!!.

[@kameronrogers2568]

Dang dang dang I was hoping y’all had that one ohhh well it’s racing still y’all are the cleanest racers I ever watched awesome job I we’ll say that till I can’t no more really really love watching Jesse he gets so happy I love it y’all

[@cgundlac]

Man... Y'all drive from one end of the country to the other, have by far the best car you've had since your started running with the best of the best, and pull a bonehead rookie mistake like that.... Sounds exactly like something I would do!!! Aww man what a bummer. You guys handled it with class and did you best to make lemonade outta lemons though, hopefully you keep it dialed in for the weekend! Don't forget to adjust for the slick after y'all make the big show cuz it's gonna get there.

[@TheMOSHPIT19]

I’ve done the same thing in my Modified it’s a terrible feeling and I know no one feels worse than the driver after that one keep trucking you guys are getting so close!

[@mikeuunderwood9545]

Aggression Aggression Aggression! Lookin Good so far. Pay Attention to 157's interview after his Win last night. That place Gets Slick. Set er up for a slick rubered deal. Good Luck!!!!

[@daveyendrzeski5574]

I drove over from Minnesota to see Joseph race with the best of them on Friday night. A great effort for sure by the entire crew. I enjoyed meeting you all. Best of Luck on Saturday !

[@glennpupino4890]

Felt terrible for Joseph losing his qualifying position. He's such a good guy.

[@worldofoutlaw1353]

He may not be as good as a lot of the driver out there, but he had an amazing qualifying session

[@kend6232]

way to admit a mistake and everyone staying positive even though they were frustrated. Excellent leadership and team communication. Hope the kids were watching... when you make a mistake, own it, and move forward!

[@FowlerFan4]

People act like other drivers have just hopped out in the big series and have had immediate success. I mean mistakes happen many guys have missed the scales before especially at Cedar Lake. Just the simple fact of they document it through KZbin people wanna be huge keyboard warriors to talk crap. Keep doing yall HTF. First time at this track and already on speed and time for this weekend.

[@dennychain9007]

I almost sh** when Joseph got hooked on the front strait away!

[@patsydavis4921]

Doing good guys. Looks like you are having fun and thats what counts! Go get em!

[@jamespatterson9005]

Hey.. I love the more aggressive driving into the corners !!! It's wat you been missing I feel.. good job!!!!

[@timothysloan5195]

HTF good run, tech can get you a lot of ways! Good luck tonight and tomorrow!

[@bobbywatson1656]

Man oh Man. Thought Joseph had a great starting start. Hey let's not get down. Look at it this way. The car and driver looked good. Enjoying your trip through theses videos. Thanks for bring us along. Go HTF

[@derrickpettit86]

That's part of racing, it happens, y'all did awesome, that's a sweet track, thanks for sharing

[@David_Bell3939]

Great Job HTF Crew!! Go Gettem Tonight!!👍🔥

[@garywalsh8878]

Good luck guys.For what it’s worth to do a quick turn around to scuff tires,we use a piece of shelving board with a sheet of 80-120 grit glued to it and before you let the car down start the car and let the board to the work.( if it kicks back your holding in the wrong position.)

[@timmccane9843]

Great job HTF! Keep living the dream! Every race is a learning experience! Keep up the great work!

[@marktheaardvark7208]

That was a couple really good qualifying laps, Good job guys.

[@buddyhabben8454]

No worries your in the big leagues it's absolutely not easy love what you all are chasing the dream ❤️

[@jorrick66]

Nothing quite like hearing supers and 410’s sing

[@scottspencer9697]

Wish you guys could swing by legit speedway in west plains Missouri on your way back home! Would love to watch the hunt the front super late model tearing up some Missouri dirt! Stay safe! God bless you guys!

[@racinRichie70]

I now live in Northern Alberta Canada but grew up in Thunder Bay Raised racing around Cedar Lake, Superior all around there, my mom and sister picked up a T shirt and hoodie for me today. Have 2 green bean burritos just don’t look at them while eating lol, go hard good luck 🏁

[@vinnie4g63]

can't wait to see you guys up at gondik law! I'll be with you all on Tuesday, racing a different class though. I love cedar lake, personally my favorite track to drive.

[@vinnie4g63]

scales are in the center of the race track up here in superior. what a bummer after a sweet qualifying run

[@zimmy202]

I was up in the flagstand photographing during hot laps. Great view from up there.

[@dougandlesadotcomwade8806]

Yall did good your runnin fast hope the best for you all and god be with you

[@TRM83]

Finish position aside, that was the best yall have looked in a while. Good run.

[@derekbentley334]

I appreciate y'all along with a bunch of other folks.

[@mikediamond1522]

There are a million different variables to racing these cars. That's why it's so easy to get hooked on them. Like playing your favorite game. Joseph is an excellent driver! For one thing when you see a car slow coming of the corner is it because the motor let you down or your spinning the tires and not getting hooked up to all that horse power. Joseph has good throttle finesse when it comes to this. Put a good horse under him and turn him loose! Let him think for himself and quit telling him how to drive. Only the one in the seat knows first hand what's happening under you. A million different things can happen when you're going for the front. PRAISE JESUS! THE FRONT WILL ALWAYS BE IN FRONT OF YOU UNLESS YOU'RE THERE. Mike

[@emmittward5473]

Nice job guys !!! Pulling for you all !!!!

[@tjax-quackersracing3597]

Good luck tonight and can’t wait to finally see you race and meet you all Again

[@brentmead3131]

That facility looks top notch

[@jonkluver7912]

It really is. Diamond in the middle of no where up there.

[@kennethdejardin795]

Hello HTF Joseph great job on qualifying for never being on that track honest mistake missing the scales still doesn’t take away your time everybody knows you guys always make weight great effort by the whole crew best wishes for the remainder of the swing I think you guys will like the Duluth/Superior area great look at Lake Superior

[@teresagoodwin7458]

That's definitely a learning experience and y'all will be able to laugh about it down the way,LOL, we're all human and make mistakes. Now,HTF tomorrow night!!🏁🏆🏁🤗💞 Y'all have proven y'all can run with the big names and were faster than some and passed a bunch too!!!!

[@elijames3041]

Grate racing as always

[@crimzonclown9210]

Thanks Jesse for the heads up on twitch this was comin

[@dianeenlow123]

It happens. Don’t let it get you down. Good Luck.

[@renegaderacer55]

Tomorrow is a new day. just shake this one off and go HTF tomorrow night.

[@joejohnson7097]

Joseph so good and excited had a brain shock good luck rest of the weekend

[@richxts1357]

Jonathon, Joseph, Jesse, Jason & Shadow, welcome to "Cheese" Country. A long haul for you al'. Yer doin' good, hang in thar!

[@richardwatkins3664]

Hey y’all, I got my two brothers and a couple of my friends watching your crew racing. They are really stoked watching y’all and all your adventures you do! Don’t stop, it’s great stuff!! I’ve got one question for you tho, I like the app Jonathan uses for his recording and editing of his racing experiences and might possibly use one similar for a small project I’m doing for our church! Is it possible for him to let me know? Videos are really coming out awesome! Richie Rich from NY

[@shanewalters1308]

Dang hate the mishap but u live and learn no one’s perfect! Y’all got a good test session in for sure and now y’all can go get the big money! Run hard and do ur best guys like always! Go Hunt the Front!

[@nashguy207]

Good Job Guys, The car looked good!!

[@nathenjordan4913]

Something I was taught early on in my racing career was to quit worrying and focusing so much on lap times and just make the car fast and consistent. Not saying you guys should do the same but it would be something to think on. I know it helped me with my driving career.

[@LastFletchOutdoors24]

Y’all are pitted by my childhood favorite driver 🤯😮

[@JayRudd76]

Thumbs up to Jesse for letting us in on the new vid!

[@TheBrookian]

All I care is that you passed the Henderson car and Jason Feger. Hell yeah!!!!!

[@dongamer1237]

Welcome to my home track you guys did good for never run here it's a tricky track. Thanks for sharing i really wanted to be there and meet you guys.

[@htf5930]

Jesse's look said it all after the scale F up!

[@scottmoore2644]

Great job boys. Getting moved to the back was a bummer but all in all not to bad.Keep ur heads up n keep doin what u do best

[@jasonjackson5493]

When the track is hooked up they fly.......when it gets slick no good.....but damn it's good to see them back up front atta boy jojo and crew we love pulling for you guys....I feel like I'm there when I'm watching yelling at my phone lolol

[@rebeccareeves1549]

DANG !! Bet that won't happen again. Keep diggin.

[@GentryRacing629]

Im here for the keyboard crew chiefs/drivers

[@scottboyd7667]

I'll bet you all never make that mistake again.... It's all part of travelin' and racing. Keep digin' boys

[@acurarl9929]

Another great vid guys. Y’all are great. Love the content.

[@haroldgarrett9677]

Hang in there boys your getting better every round!!

[@jeffjackson482]

Joseph took that in stride!!!! Just made a big fan right here!!! Sorry about negativity early on!!!! Go getm boys

[@bradrussell1656]

that motor was diggin ole boy. no lack of motor lol. found some bite to. guess you to tell joe to gain some weight make that car heavier

[@charlesmoore5840]

Well now you know how Mark Martin Felt when he pulled in at Bristol too soon leading the race oops oops oops

[@dannyht92]

Getting better and better boys.🏁

[@shannonmize2307]

Car looked really balanced. I'm liking that engine package too. #smoothassilk

[@stuartlord2509]

Can't make simple mistakes when you run with the big boys. But why would you run, you estimated 30 to 40 lbs heavy?

[@GentryRacing629]

Burn off, variance is the scales from track to track. Dont really wanna roll on the track dead on 2350

[@imabeLiever247]

Thanks!

[@bradgarner9087]

Can't wait to watch again to night! Should have slammed that beer with me Joseph 😂

[@ron...747]

Yes sir looking good. Good luck tomorrow. Best of luck.👌👌👍👍.

[@rodconner9079]

Yessssss!!!!!!!!!!! Let's Gooooooo!!!! Be Safe

[@brianthomson6497]

If you are going to race in Superior WI you MUST GO eat at the SHAMROCK BAR AND PIZZA. Just 6 blocks from the track. 5825 Tower Ave. My family owns it. Legendary pizza 🍕

[@jefferythornton1783]

Good run driver keep it going

[@jimmyboone4496]

Good thing is I don’t think he’ll ever make that mistake again. Mistakes are ok, that’s how you learn, it’s when you start making the same mistake repeatedly is when you’ve got big problems. Good luck the rest of the weekend.

[@Retired70]

Apparently Joseph missed the drivers meeting as well as the scales.. man that’s a WTF moment

[@jrstaccin7893]

I laughed to hard at this comment 😂

[@jason5044]

Don't need a driver's meeting to know you got to cross the scales

[@2DSTORMS]

The drivers meeting would have reminded him and none of this would have happened. When you become complacent, you lose!

[@jcnpresser]

Good luck fellers!

[@kregyung4604]

“We’re 27th out of 45,” said Jonathan. “We’re right on par.” Please set higher standards and expectations for your team. Confidence starts at the top! Good heat race driver 👍🏼 You got smoked in the B-Main but damn good showing 👍🏼 I was hoping you’d stay ridding the wall ‘cause you were hauling ass up there dude

[@Bamapride1000]

He said the track got faster as it went but for the time they went when it was slower they were right on par. You gotta judge those kinda things from the time you’re on the track. He said the track had been ran in a good bit since they were on the track.

[@stevenshell7815]

If he would have stayed on the top he would have made it in. Also i am not complaining this is not easy, saying that if you could have slid job him you would have possibly made it in.. Joseph you are definitely getting a lot faster , good job

[@ericabrasher2321]

Finished with the video. Good job guys but it's racing and all the cars may not be on the track. With that said there's room to improve but a great foundation or starting point to build on, especially since it's ol Joey's first time their on the track. Good luck and god bless 🙌 🙏 wishing you guys all the best.

[@odenpadillaking3344]

Hey if he would have been a Lil more patient he could have got him on the top

[@Pastroodle]

Got a lil to excited and jumped right back to the bottom once he got close.

[@jackburgess9482]

Well at least he didn't forget to go to the scales after a feature win like I did!! It was my first win too, I went from first to DQ ...lol.. it never happened again!!

[@kevinzeug2957]

Hey Jonathan I think u guys found some speed tho on the car

[@420williams9]

I’m glad to meet you guys at the pdc can’t wait for next year you got to come race a couple races in Illinois and Missouri so you can get used to our dirt it’s different from Georgia clay dirt Mississippi’s dirt guys

[@robertcharles1026]

In Australia, Joseph would be owing the boys a box, (carton of beers) but I am sure he won't make that mistake again. Go HTF

[@gregcrouse5560]

Good job !! Everyone is human.. just glad to see you all having fun at the track 🏁🏁 #JESUSisALIVE #HTFnation

[@Dy7twich]

I have always said one the best off the trailer congrats good luck k

[@charlesd.3749]

Nice Lap. Looking good for the rest of the weekend

[@bigdan62t]

You may just learn a lesson this weekend about uses and new tires. Get that core sample.

[@ThatsBadTV]

Cedar lake is an awesome track .. If I wasn’t going to Knoxville I would have went to this .. you guys are going to superior ? Awesome !

[@davebowers1752]

Well that'd how the cookies crumble good luck on the next race

[@samuelbentley5273]

Good qualifying anyone can make that mistake. The car still isn’t working on side bite and coming off the corner.?? Love the effort.

[@alanstackhouse2939]

Good luck tonight guy's! Go get em!😊

[@Bold1racer]

Been to a few races there, love watching racing there.

[@Ian_misho]

Need some more forward Drive

[@smalltownadventures1971]

It happens it just sucks after qualifying that good keep your head up and HUNT THE FRONT KEEP ON KEEPIN ON HTF BABY

[@regdor8187]

Same ole, same ole, Old habits are holding you back, Qual Fast up high, drop low in race, throw away your potential.... High in turn, head down hill for speed to inside of car in front.....
