[@brianellis7291]

Great job Johnathan!! I enjoy watching you 3 young men race. It takes me back to my past time.! Our track here in NW Oklahoma has had politics and greed ruin the racing.! Blessings to you all and your families..!!

[@coreymoorey8093]

Will you guys be posting the full PPV videos anywhere later on? Be cool to rewatch them at a later date, or even for the people that couldn’t afford the live stream

[@Excel144]

Looked like the 1 car jumped the start

[@coreymoorey8093]

@@Excel144 I said the same thing. big jump up the inside

[@walkredroad]

It's nice to have Jonathan back in the car ... and Joshua on the camera! I really enjoy his perspective and demeanor ... he should be an announcer on Flo!!!

[@andrewbrown747]

Southern is like a rally cross track…lol if you survive the jump getting down in the corner you’re golden hahaha

[@bubbaakatommyoso4119]

LoL 😆 your rite Jesse found that out I think but I will say it's 100 times better then the last Seasons if you go back and watch some races IT was really a Sand box and Rail Cars and Dune buggy would have loved it and it was deep in the corners the dirt would co.e up so hi like u was in the Sand Dunes But Jonothan

[@bubbaakatommyoso4119]

I was gonna say I'm only at the hotlap sessions n the vid and Jon was smooth as hell he looks Fast as F ..I Like that they made it wide and took the D out Way better now they still need alot of adding on and they could have a Premier track More guard rails more walls etc. Etc.

[@ThebadMAN747]

No lie.... The amount of talent all of you guys have driving is astounding! Respect just jumping in a car and running up front alone! Impressive Jonathan!

[@bfjou812]

Great job by the entire team. If that was a display of being "rusty", I would have loved to have been that rusty when I raced. You really looked very good Johnathan. I think the track really needs to address it's prep. Go get 'em tonight!!

[@MIchelle-bv4nf]

A year off, a new baby, all the other stuff going in the shop and you finish second? Most wouldn't of made it in the top five. Super job and you should be Damn proud. Best moment of the video,,,,,that beautiful little new addition. Hands down, Congrats Mom & Dad

[@joekuehl2604]

The 1 car jumped the start and beat Jonathan to the start line.

[@jacobstanfield1564]

The 1 took off and Jonathan spun the tires. Probably the difference between that guy on new tires and Joiner on "old" tires. Just a gyess

[@joekuehl2604]

@@jacobstanfield1564 Jonathan said that he did not have any issues with the restart.

[@ol998]

@@jacobstanfield1564 na he jumped man. Watch it closely he’s on the pedal before Johnathan.

[@Rambone72]

That's fine, but Jonathan never tried to get it back. The #1 just drove away.

[@JKirbyRLT]

You guys took that better than I would have. That was a clear jumped start and why the track didn't call it is beyond me. Jonathan did everything right and got wronged by that... Keep doing what you're doing. Things always come full circle.

[@jeffmeyer3666]

Boy, if you guys call that "rusty", I'd hate to be running against you when you're not !!!! 😄 Great job by everyone and it's great to see Dirt Daddy and his crew once again. It's also great to see Mom and the newest member of the Joiner family !!!

[@Carbogarbo42]

guy jumped the start and yall didnt bring it up huge respect

[@gobbler1957]

Not a word from Hunt the Front for the #1car jumping the final restart. But then again, they don't whine about things.

[@richardross119]

I love the way Jonathan drives and I love his commentary. It's like a smart Larry the Cable Guy

[@spencerrobinett4000]

Just drove 1200 miles to watch you guys from Amarillo, TX AND IT WAS A BLAST! Also had a couple words with Mr. John Joiner, truly the nicest stranger I've ever spoken to. Can't wait to come back again! Maybe get a t-shirt this time.

[@garryballentine9151]

Jonathan did a great job. A tremendous turn around from partice!

[@michaelhardy6879]

Let's go Jonathan!!! #56!! You got screwed on the restart.. j/s!!! Can't wait till tonight!!! Jesus knows you gonna get some get back!!!

[@kevinmeahan4603]

Great job. Looks like he jumped the start. All of you know how to race and be humble when things aren't always right.

[@SupermanBPR9]

Lol he didn’t jump jackass joiner didn’t go. Guess he doesn’t know what the green means.

[@keithwicks6828]

You ran great Jonathan, very impressed on the first run back. What I saw was the difference in the 2 restarts, yours and his. He held the bottom on his Delaware lead start and you staid up a groove. It's all good go get them tonight, you got this. #HTF

[@garryballentine9151]

Enjoyed seeing Shadow and baby at track.

[@jimmyclark7450]

Jonathan your car control is one of the smoothest I’ve seen in a long time. You got this brother cuz your the Professor!! HTF BABY 🏁🏁

[@oldschoolhoosier]

Congrats to Johnathon on your first race of 2022 and the HTF team.. You guys are a force to be recognized in all three classes. 602,604 and the super class.

[@lukebishop2748]

Good job Jonathan you did great!! You will get them next time it’s your first time in a car in almost a year!!! We all love you man! I look up to you so much!

[@robertjackson8020]

Good job Jonathan second place is pretty darn good for not raceing in a year you still got it Jonathan good luck Hunt The Front

[@delmarcunningham4516]

Jonathan did great for first time in a year. Should be there every race. BETTER LUCK TOMORROW NIGHT.

[@greglangley4518]

Nice to see Jonathan behind a wheel. Really good to see Dirt Daddy in your video. He adds character and another perspective, take good care of him.

[@area238production2]

Looked like the 1 car jumped the start because he knew you’d run away. You’ll get him Saturday !!! GL

[@sixwillwin]

Lol

[@jeffbenson3680]

Joshua nailed it again videoing and commentating. Thanks Josh !!!

[@pathallock7868]

P2 after almost a year off. Awesome run. You had him, the sink holes got you! Now you know. Adjustments will be made. Great job Professor!!

[@Hoyt2929]

That was either the best restart ever on a Delaware double file start or the 1 jumped it, never seen 1st and 2nd side by side coming out of the corner to the green and it be legal.....

[@chrisgore9730]

Man I just saw that also. I was like naw he got rob on that

[@Guy_jo542]

I really enjoyed watching this, I have so many amazing childhood memories from southern raceway. I spent every saturday night out there for years. My dad started out in hog then eventually ended in super street. It was defineitly some of my best memories. This popped up on my google and Im glad it did. I will be following and Im sharing it with my dad. I even remember helping him work on his car because my hands were small enough to get in places he couldnt. You are an amazing driver and I cant wait to show my son this!

[@danielautery4061]

Glad to see the 56 back in action hopefully we will see more of it

[@markking1853]

All of us that were wondering are very happy to see you back behind the wheel...great job Jonathan!!!

[@BabyJake426]

I think Jonathan did a great job of driving! Racing happens. Heads high guys, come back stronger on Saturday night! Good luck Jonathan and Team HTF!!! 🏁👍🏼😁 HTF Nation 😎

[@elitegb7206]

Done a fine job Jonathan. He wheels very similar to Joseph. Them joiner boys can drive. Remember what they started in. God is good. All the time

[@rodtedrow7315]

Beautiful job if that doesn't make you want to run out s buy a capital I don't know what would

[@ellennorton2169]

Great job Jonathan!!!! Great job HTF crew. Thanks Shawdow for letting all us fans see that beautiful baby girl. Great to see Dirt Daddy there.

[@TomkinsMotorsport]

Congratulations Jonathan! Not bad for being out of the seat for over a year!! Nice work team!! 🏁🏁

[@brentbackus7236]

Great effort. It is so very cool to see the wife's and young ladies. Family first!

[@jonathonhowlett6295]

Good run Jonathan! Tenny’s #30 diecast is Barry Wright’s 30th anniversary car driven by Dennis Franklin.

[@patwatson2454]

Well yall definitely have a great 602 package,but in all my years of doing this I've learned if you're tires spin and the other guys didn't they will gap you, And it's hard to run someone down in a couple laps

[@petecastle5762]

Johnathan is a natural , smooth and steady , great job 🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸

[@Canadianboomer59]

good run Jonathan.... nice to see you behind the wheel... Cheers from Canada.

[@FlynDirty1]

While you were out front it looked as if you were driving a Cadillac Eldarado, nice and smooth. But all joking aside, I’ve followed you for a long time now and I miss Dirt Daddy. He was the grease to your wheel, the screwdriver to your carburetor. We haven’t heard from him in a while and I’m sure I speak for a few of us that we were worried about your mama and Dirt Daddy’s health. It put a big smile on my face to see the Grey Ghost still spunky as usual. Damn it was good to see him. Get em tomorrow Johnathan.

[@disgrutledhobo6204]

Great to see our boy Jonathan back in the drivers seat! Great job for such a long lay off Jonathan, now get it done tonight! GO HTF TEAM!!!!

[@donanderson9477]

Fast time, win dash. Podium finish !! Nothing to be ashamed of. Night 2 !!!🏆🏁🏁🏆

[@dbsnyder4503]

Looked like the 1 car jumped the start a little bit? Good run though Jonathan. Go get em tonight! Really nice to see all the HTF family there last night! God bless you all.

[@jackschomer8227]

Hi just like riding a bike you will remember what you learned long long time ago hang in there 😎 thanks for letting us follow you

[@OddballHillbilly419]

Nice run Professor!! Can't complain about anything, especially after a year off. Just come back and get em Saturday night!!

[@jaytontipps3545]

Good to see dirt daddy racing

[@bretthopper4757]

Great first night back in the #56 car, Jonathan! Go get that checkered flag tonight. 🏁

[@johnpatient4815]

Say it ain't so. He got the jump on you on that restart, I was pulling for you real hard. But you done real good for the first race in almost a year.

[@patstubinski6042]

That was a fantastic race you ran after so much time off. YOU STILL GOT IT.

[@keithaldridge8780]

Really proud to see you’re daddy and hear his voice. Wish yall would include him more. I realize y’all are big shots now but take it from me he won’t be around forever 🙏🙏

[@sixwillwin]

I’m surprised they even mentioned or showed him. It’s pretty rare.

[@robbiehollin4342]

Don't be down on yourself you did fine a podium after being out of a car for almost a year good job 👏 👍

[@markwebb2502]

It's wild to see the 56 back on the track

I love how y'all handle situations in your favor with dignity! Your mom and dad did an amazing job raising y'all! Go get em ! You wanted the bigger check anyways!

Great job Jonathan, just like riding a bike! The 1 car totally jumped you on that restart.

[@purehades6885]

Poor guy. Doing everything he could to smile. Keep your head up. Your racing against guys that race every single week at least once twice and maybe more. You did very well all things considered and honestly had it not been for the cautions race would've been yours! Good job and good luck on Saturday!!!

[@rodconner9079]

Great job Team!!! Ain't no hangin' the head on that -- hell it's been nearly a year bud! And ya still got it!!! With all that new dirt, it shouldn't have a memory of how it used to be, just saying'!!! You done a fine job. .......And ya have another opportunity. Nice seeing Shadow and the lil one - Tannalee; precious are the little ones! Great to see DirtDaddy and DirtMomma out having fun too -- Been awhile. HTF is so fun.......... LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Be Safe #HTFNation #DirtOnTwitch

[@markjordan3312]

You done awesome Jonathan, not much rust to knock off. Good job!

[@matthewmcclintock5806]

That #1 car is a dirty driver he tried to lean on Johnathan in the dash race and then jumped that restart and passed Johnathan in the main feature and the flagger should've thrown a caution on him and made yall restart i know my local track would've and gave him one warning and if he did it again they would've put him in the rear

[@nccw8683]

That was a dirty star Don number 1 he shouldn't even took off he should have made him go back

[@jamesglass3278]

Good smooth driving, you let your guard down one time on restart and didn’t tighten that hole on the inside which determines who stays in front out of the hole because you can’t do make up time with the track so rough, it would kill your car slamming in the corner as rough as it was. Still awesome job especially no seat time in so long, and I really notice in car that you drive very smooth which is where speed and momentum wins races. Good job!

[@rodfinke896]

Great job Jonathan👍. It can someone explain to me how you can allow the second place car be ahead of the leader. Did you spin your tires and the green was out? We’ll just put that in your memory bank and on restarts stay low and block that move. But you got this again great job.👍

[@keepnitredneck5578]

Congratulations johnathan

[@robertgivens7148]

Johnathan great job. I've learned that if your not watching and leave the door open the dogs gonna shoot out it and its hard to run him down. Again great job and GOD BLESS and God speed on saturday nite. JESUS LIVES from Moultrie Georgia
