There is no honesty in any bad comments. None of these people have been in a super late model or a race car in general. Even better yet have to have thousands of dollars for parts and cars.

[@johnhale9892]

I don't think swapping engines is the problem. Attitude, ambition, no fear of tearing up equipment, winning at all cost will persevere. But being driver/owner will always cause reservations. Joseph needs to race with these guys and learn. Seat time is a proven commodity. I'm not a hater, nor am I delusional. It seems in the comment section that if you point out obvious problems, you're a hater. Those who say those people are haters, well, they're delusional. I've been an HTF fan for several years now, I am neither. I stand on disappointment. No matter what they do, they can't get out of their own way. T.C. needed to take charge, and tell Joseph to race the car.

[@WindRider1]

All the power in the world isn’t worth a dime if it isn’t hooked up. Joseph owns and drives the car. A lot of the people he is racing against are driving for other people. I owned my cars that I raced. I can tell you from firsthand experience knowing that you have to foot the bill if you tear something up makes you drive a little more cautiously. They need Shane to drive Joseph’s car and get the set up figured out first and foremost. Who knows, with a good set up the SB2 might have been okay. You can go watch Hudson O’Neal’s in car camera and Brandon Overton’s too at the same track as Joseph . Watch their hands on the wheel. Listen to the sound of their engines. Compare it to Joseph’s. No hate. Just observations.

Jonathan, the old saying is not "cooking with grease", the correct old saying is "cooking with gas", meaning that someone is finally doing something right or making good progress, and it originated from a marketing campaign promoting the use of gas stoves for cooking, where the idea was that "now you're cooking with gas" meant you were cooking efficiently with a good heat source.
