Massive AirTime At Dirt Cup Night #2....(Skagit Speedway)

[@hotchicken2852]

I once heard , that when the devil ignores you, you know your doing something wrong. Maybe when the devil comes at you it’s because your trying to do something right. I keep that in the back of my mind. Glad to see you healthy and safe, keep moving forward with your chin up and chest out. Whatever gods got planned for you , you’ll get through much love ❤️

[@kartracer2488]

Perfectly said. You’ve had two terrible crashes and your ok. Only thing hurt is your pride and car. Take it from a old kart racer. The devil will come immediately to steal your joy and break you. Don’t give him the victory. Thank God your ok and keep pressing on. God will bless you. Look at Trevor Bayne in NASCAR. He’s had a big struggle but now back racing with a great team and cars. He got his new blessing.

[@Steve-rm6gx]

Ahh, god will bless you, really, he crashed twice, very bizarre philosophy, but what’s not bizarre is the great family connection and support.

[@monkvsiron]

Carly was the MVP. These are the weekends that build champs man. You guys toughed it out. Looking forward to seeing how you react to the Saturday show

[@scottwest8742]

seeing her rush around and get things done on the flo stream was badass

[@circletrack7538]

I'll tell what you have the GREATEST sister in the world !!! Most sister brother combinations actually are toxic and never good !!! She supports you works hard with and for you and loves you !!! You make sure you tell her how amazing she is !!!! So young and so responsible so rare !!!! You both have great work ethics from 2 awesome parents !!!! Can't wait to see her race again !!! Skies the limit on yours and her potential success !!!!! Very tough Tanner hang in there it builds patients and character !!! No fault of yours just good hard racing !!! Even though it doesn't feel like it right now, you definitely have improved as a solid 410 driver !!!!!!

[@tfatcher]

Last Saturday as when I watched you roll out to the A-Main, I was dumfounded given the results of Thursday and Friday nights. I wondered where the 18T team found the time, the equipment and parts to have a racecar ready to compete. I knew they a had the driver. That will was the best 18th to 11th place finish you will remember forever. Deuces! ✌✌

[@calebleach4658]

I can feel the frustration in your voice Tanner. Sucks that this had to happen back to back nights.I'm praying for you keep your head up. Times are really tough now these days with racing but your a awesome driver and. You have a amazing family that backs you up and love you. Keep digging the devil wants to kick you when you down and make you feel like crap. But God will lift you up over mountains you can only dream of. Love ya dude

[@nitsudocsicnarf347]

Sometimes it's nothing but downs. Keep your head up! Everyone on the interwebs felt for you that weekend and you gained a lot of fans.

[@dougscott8161]

Hi, Tanner, you have been having a real lemon of a weekend, but you also have the best Super Glue in your Little Sister, Carly. She seems to be the glue that holds the entire THR Team together. I've already seen the final night video, and even through all the adversity you faced, you ended up with a pretty positive finish. You and Carly will be having some highly pitched battles when you're on the track together, but she is the best support a guy could ever ask for.God Bless you both and your whole Team and stay safe.

[@richardmourdock2719]

If "The absolute worst weekend of racing in my entire life" can still be stated after you exit the track and a car for the last time, you'll feel good about your racing career. Oh yes, it can be so very much worse than this. And make no mistake: CARLY IS BOSS! So impressive. Love the interaction between big brother and sister. She obviously gives you a boost. Beautiful to witness.

[@charleslaxson3071]

Struggles like these are what makes wins more meaningful, keep at it, it will come together!

[@brianhagler4490]

You did your part young man. You can’t control what happens in this context; it’s a race and there are so many variables. I do understand your frustration, this isn’t a cheap sport. Keep your head high, be humble and learn and move forward.

[@jimwaddell8163]

Got nothing but praise great Family ,Team, Driver, n Car you guys Rock . 💪🤜🤛🙏

[@FanoFinz]

So sorry about your cars buddy, but glad you're okay!! Hang in there Tanner, things will get better!! Just sucks getting through the low times!! You're a strong willed young man and you inspire others to be as kind hearted as you! You're an excellent racer and this will just be a race story you can remember how you willed yourself through it!!!

[@allanpierce9700]

Well Tanner you were in the Grove there handling the car better than ever .. if you could have qualified like that at qualifying nothing would have happened probably.. it's all about qualifying in the top 5 .. you are gonna get there as long as you have a car to race so stay sharp and drive like you were there before that wreck.. your throttle and wheel coordination is getting to be more and more impressive when in the pack. Drive like that when you qualify and you'll be on the pole and youll feel a lot less pressure and you won't have the guys that can't drive near you... Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road... You are an extremely good racer tanner .. still fearless as ever bro. No pressure just stay safe .and practice makes perfect .. you have a huge headstart in racing over almost everyone.. it's just a matter of traveling around those circles safely and cautiously using your head in all situations and just be aware of all things that are a part of racing ...it can be very dangerous bro. You are living the life with guts made out of steel tanner... Keep eating those breakfasts of champions..glad you made it so far without a scratch .. kudos go to all the hard work your dad and Carly are putting in for you.. keep your spirits up. Lady luck doesn't like riding with those rookies for very many laps... She'll be riding with you soon...get some good rest and stick to it I would have come unglued a long time ago.

[@T1C45]

I look at it this way ; It's only June & there's alot of Racing left to do. You have family and sponsor support that is Rock solid. Look at how many times crazy asses like Wolfgang, Jacobs, Haudenschild, Doty, and others have flipped and junked cars back in the day. There's someone out there that junked their only car and is done for the season already. Your motivational speaker Gary is spot on!

[@stiffiejohnson1822]

I see ur disappointment in ur eyes shows me how much this means to u the hard work ur family and team puts in shows me they care just as much I've been following u from the beginning because I care about u chasing ur dream I love how u handle ur lows because my friend this is Sprint car racing it's not easy keep fighting ur family and fans love u I grew up in a racing family sprints and super modifieds I'd come help ya if I lived in Oregon....ur doing great young man and give Carly a hug every night she's probably ur biggest fan

[@olenpittman21]

Glad to see your ok first and foremost. Weather the storm, you will get though it and it will get better. Just have to keep believing it will turn around. I know you haven't had the best luck lately on the racing side of it, but man you sure are lucky to have the family support system. Your dad, Carly and crew are awesome. Take a breath and drive hard. You'll get to where things are looking up. Be safe and thanks for taking us along for the journey.

[@jasonsrader3689]

Dude, I am so proud of you and your attitude. The great news is that you are one helluva a driver and it shows every single race. You did not make mistakes this weekend. This is racing and sometimes it sucks and sometimes it is amazing. You keep going and keep your head up. This crap you are going through will make the wins so much sweeter.

[@jasonups5386]

I follow you cause you have a great heart and your family are always there for you bud. Keep moving forward:))

[@timvincent4412]

This sport will tear you down in a hurry. You have a good team and family behind you. This is the hardest form on motorsports and you are on your way. Good luck love the attitude. Thanks for taking us along.

[@burlapX]

👍 no worries tanner i think you and yor family are Great . i’m emotional invested and a huge fan of your video format, you guys are ambassadors of my favorite sport

[@kend6232]

I have to tell you brother that I've watched both day one and two a couple of times (the second with my GF with the admonition, you won't believe what he went through), that first hit alone was so violent and INSTANT, and the rollover... great tip to the safety design of the modern sprint car. The fact you went through both of those days and then came back and got on the horse was one amazing story of courage, and what its like to commit to your craft. Professional all the way, and congratulations, its one hell of a story that weekend. (edit it to one long movie :) ) Thanks for sharing your world. Definitely a fan.

[@shanebartrum]

Keep your head up Tanner! You are talented bro and will keep it pushing.

[@logansmith3434]

Lets go! Tough break though, hope next race is better!

[@markwatkins5416]

Glad to see you moving forward. Things will get better now that you have proven your worth to the racing gods.

[@corybeauchamp7377]

Tufff break but love the Holmes family and team attitude it is awesome that you keep going

[@stevesimonds7837]

So glad you stuck it out because you persevered and got 11th from 18th which 11th place isn’t something to be super happy about but the 1st 2 nights kicked your butt and to roll the car on the trailer and finish the race was huge I think

[@davidsallas7049]

You have a great career ahead of you there will bad time still yet to come. But those bad times make the good times great. Bless you guys keep your head up.

[@bubs_tv3]

two tough nights, keep your head down and keep digging, good runs up to that.

[@AxialX9]

Just glad you were alright in both of those wrecks . MY wife and kids we were there all 3 nights and rooting for you. Bad luck is all that was. So glad you had a good run on final night and so proud of you and your team.

[@mikepriceup]

Spoiler alert lol

[@stephenwooley5817]

Tanner keep your head up for that’s what makes true champions keep digging you have a awesome crew I’ve been there I’ve turned branches on the late models won a lot of championships "when we thought we were down broke blow motors are we ran three nights a week I remember we blew a motor .in travels we where in the trailer going down the road changing motors so that we could race we won the championship that year and it’s truly awarding !!love the videos🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@racerdad6455]

Dang bad luck patch! You where on fire that first heat race lap before the red. I think that is the most cars you have passed in less than a lap?!?! Way to stay positive, Let’s go 18t🏁

[@johncarter1137]

Hey Tanner, keep your head up. You know there will be ups and downs, just work through it and things will turn around. You've had two pretty bad wrecks and other than being a little banged up you're in shape to go for the money. I would say someone is watching over you. I hope y'all get it put back together and give them heck.

[@dbsnyder4503]

Main thing is YOU are OK. Race cars can be fixed or replaced. I really admire everyone on team 18T staying positive through this rough patch. Put it all behind you. On to the next race! Checkers are waiting!

[@fnrap10]

Unfortunately part of racing is luck, and whatever bad juju you have believe it will turn around. You and the team have a bright future keep pushing forward!

[@kevinmeyer102]

You were fast both nights and competing more than you have most nights this year. I saw aggressive driving and that’s what you have to do in these cars. Seeing tons of progress and with these set backs it will only make you stronger. Keep going and thanks for sharing with all of us.

[@aintplyn]

That's racing.. What you do from here will determine how much you really want this . Keep it up.

[@davidbreman2494]

That's a positive attitude to have Tanner put the 2 nights of racing behind you and start fresh

[@markusleedy3096]

Just like to say,that throughout your sprint car career,from what I've seen,you,and it speaks a great deal about your parents,have ALL conducted yourselves with the utmost of class !

[@chrissmallwood5869]

They say when a person says "it is what it is" and means it. They are DANGEROUS!!!! Good luck in the dirt cup finale. Go straight to the front!!!!!

[@johnwkomppa309]

Carley is right on the money, "You Got This " Your family, crew are the best. I spent some years racing with highs, lows and a few 15 minutes of fame, Memories Priceless. Racing is a fickle mistress, "Quitters never win, Winners never quit" Enjoy your videos, following your adventure, Thanks for posting

[@Nick198225]

most important is your alive and not hurt from the accidents. Don't give up tanner you got this bud. your crew did a great job on fixing up the car. you are right you need to stay positive. I know your frusterated but again you got this stay positive bud. Praying for safe racing for you.

[@Nathanm7977]

Tanner you have nothing to be angry with yourself about. Hind sight and gopro are 20/20. we get the luxury of seeing it and being able to go through it slowly. when you are on the track you're not going to see every thing. wrecking happens cars breaks, but when you can walk away from the track it's a good day. it's the nature of the race when running wing sprint.

[@kiwi1165]

Just gotta get back in that saddle, gonna have rough times. Keep on diggin, my girls and I enjoy keeping up with your racing. Don't stop having fun!

[@rdsamp9214]

It was great meeting you and your family. Great support from your parent's and Carly is the Energizer Bunny. Good job getting my son in your video.

[@element54100]

One love bro it will all be behind you and you are a savage man. Sorry to see the bs part of the sport but you will make these memories be a past so fast as long as you move forward and keep your head up . Sorry for the loss of equipment but glad to see you’re ok and positive still 🔥🫡

[@austinheld28]

Me at 14:57 😭😭😭 “oh tanner”

[@dirtfan7176]

Crew member of the year Carly 🏁

[@jeremy8169]

That’s racing , Carly is awesome 👍start and park the show . Racers never give up , I’ve been there and it sucks . Get up and start all over again and hope for a better day you can do it 👍

[@geothefisher]

I understand the frustration when you are getting taken out and you haven't done anything wrong. It sucks being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but keep your chin up and press on. The 18T looks to be running stronger than ever and you day is coming!!!

[@timseldat7471]

Keep your head up Tanner your a great racer

[@johnmcmillendarkside6motor73]

I know it’s frustrating but racing is full of frustration just keep your head up Tanner come back stronger you just want to throw your hands up and ask what do I have to do to get a break stand up brush yourself off and keep pushing forward

[@lukerogge7149]

What tough weekend. But keep your head up and keep moving forward. If it was easy everyone would do it. You’ll have tough nights. It’s racing. But always try to find a spot I’ve out of everything. One day it will all click. And you will know when that day is. Rooting you in all the way from Ohio.

[@pathartman5629]

Being concerned about your condition for the hard hit the night before, I uttered a string of swear words watching live on FLO. Good Grief, two nights in a row getting caught up in someone else's mistake! Glad to see you had had enough pieces & parts to prepare a solid car for the finale. Allard wins the trophy for most cars hit, bumped and/or cut off for the weekend. Josh Wise drives like a crazy man, not really dirty, just plain WILD. Tough Expensive Weekend, but as per another comment, "...don't let the Devil take control..." Trust in God and do what it takes to get back running soon. Glad to see that Carly gets an opportunity to race this weekend, she certainly earned it working on your car. Best wishes to both of you this weekend. God Bless

[@TannerHolmes]

Thanks Pat this is good advice!

[@domcroop9688]

Glad u are ok tanner. I'm glad u got out of the car ok your a strong kid just keep your head up. One of these days you should try to come up to Ransomville Speedway its a good track but Genesee has them beat. But again i'm glad your ok

[@davejohnson3037]

Brother, don't get discouraged, that's dirt racing. I've been there, done that. Be thankful for your parents, sis, crew, and your sponsors. YOU walked away, cars can be replaced, you can't!!!! Go out and do your best in the big show and do not let the track beat you!!!!! Good luck and God bless you and your team!!!!!

[@Danstaafl]

I give it a 10... that bounce... someday you will play that video back and laugh your butt off dude you'll be totally over it by the morning. You're in the show. Now go teach it a lesson!

[@unclemuir]

It was a rough trip. Cory Day had a weird spin and that was what got you jammed up. I was surprised to see you out there the next day. You have a great crew!

[@kendallnoble4980]

I’ll say this. We are still running a slightly bent front end, with a rear end that leaks, a 09 88.5/40 J&J on bull rings with older shocks BUT. With that being said, you’re a good kid with such a good soul I’ll never be envious or jealous you’re family has money, because of the person they have raised you to be. At the end of the day you’re not injured and are lucky enough to have the ability to keep racing being physically, financially, and mentally. I hope the best for you and enjoy watching you succeed. God is always good.

[@jakewebb5757]

Keep your head up man you are a wheel man luck will turn around keep digging 👍🏻🏁

[@jimahl68]

love your attitude. Go get the prize.. Do you make it to Northern Ca,?

[@gregsimon9061]

We feel your frustration, it’s ok to vent. Sometimes racing sucks, but not very often.

[@mikegilham3123]

Tanner you are awesome kid don't let this get you down I've been watching you and your crew for a long time you are a good driver and a nice guy to meet stay cool dude it is came you way soon

[@markusleedy3096]

Also you and your sister have both exhibited a tremendous amount of maturity,I'm sure she would love to race more,but supports her big brother all the way !!! A tough weekend,but way to stick together and believe me this should show you just how well your team is able to deal with HUGE adversity,keep your composure and WOW to even start the A,great job guys !!!

[@peterwild9459]

Twice off the horse and climbing back on...RESPECT. Well Tanner there's only one real way to avoid dents and bruisies....run from the front so keep up the energy, your times coming!

[@victorpalmateer484]

You have definitely had a rough go at the dirt cup. I sure hope your luck changes around soon

[@melabshier5812]

That wreck happened right in front of me in Section B, That OH NO...being screamed from there was me. Really felt bad for you Kiddo. But I knew you were physically alright. As I said to you in the pits that night, if it wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all. I did say your luck would change and night 3 went better, You mention your team around you. All very important. But always remember, You'll Never Walk Alone. It's a song that became a hit in the 1960's by Gerry & the Pacemakers. There is always a lot more people who wish you well, want you to do well, and are here for you if you need it. 👍

[@glennfoster7288]

Thanks for sharing. Better luck on night 3. Nothing you could do.🤷‍♂️

[@gregmitchell4619]

Yeah, well we know that The driver puts his hands and effort too! You won't say it, so I will , Go Team 18T. Such good vibes you guys. Couldn't ask for a better ambassador for the sport! Course, Carly is pretty good too! Tanner, you've heard this a few times, watch out, 22c got there stuff together too! Lol. Have fun!

[@garybultmann9465]

Will you be at the husets high banks nationals next year

[@ParticipationTrofee]

You were right up there kid. Keep spinning laps. Better times ahead.

[@whatalifewhataprice5261]

The positive: you didn’t get injured, the car is fixable, and your still in the show. Good luck next time out.

[@bryansnodgrass1848]

Sometime in the future, you are gonna look back and shake your head, but all will be fine. You can tell some youngster who is just starting out about this weekend. Thumbs up

[@LogacysAquaticLove]

Tanner your aloud to feel exactly how your feeling! Anyone in that position would be just as pissed and upset, and u should be. That’s so much time, effort and money right out the window in a split second and what felt like pretty much the same incredible incident twice. It is frustrating very frustrating, but how you and your family/team over come these times speaks wonders! Y’all need to be proud of who y’all are man!

[@MichaelBrown-um8qc]

Dam rouph luck , can't believe your not hurt ? After all , you get a roller coaster cruise , no other will sit on , God Bless & enjoy the unique rides . It's racing to it's fullest . Stay safe & Thank You 🥂🏁👍

[@ronlucas4019]

I really enjoy your videos. I have been following you for the past year. I really like your statement of someone always has it worse than you. I got out of the hospital last week and am in rehab now and yes I look around and there are people worse off than me. Thanks for reminding me to see.

[@TannerHolmes]

Thank you for the kind words ron!

[@butch1508]

Don't ever give up your passion brother.

[@graemerandall2123]

Chin up mate sometimes things just don’t go right but just remember your ok and your family have your back it will turn around. Carly needs a bonus. 🏁💪👍😎🇦🇺

[@dannygonzales8364]

Tanner all you can do is bounce back I know times are tough and parts are not cheap God will bless you and you will bounce back

[@richardmartinez3913]

Ur racing hard KEEP IT UP ,!!!!!!!

[@jasonlavere5071]

I tell you what, I watched that guy in the 14 all weekend. He's super fast, but he's also all over the track bouncing off walls and other cars. You have to be careful around that guy. Glad to see you have the speed. The cream always rises to the top for the big races. It's all that karting experience and not getting to nervous around racing against the best. You seem to have a pretty good baseline for that track. I'm really surprised you had enough parts to put the car together a 3rd time!

[@skylerdaniels7947]

@tannerholmes head up brotha man I know your trying and the results aren’t what you want but the amount of heart your showing is a true testament to your love for the sport 💪🏽❤️

[@Indianadoordasher]

Tough weekend bud keep ur head up

Keep battling Tanner it can all turn around next race 👍

[@thomasbaker4651]

[@dannyneihart1821]

Glad you are okay. No matter how bad things seem they will always get better.

[@unclebones2488]

All you can do is hang in there and keep a positive attitude. They say it builds character.

Hey bro might have been the weekend from hell but good to see you are in 1 piece and all your safety gear worked spot on and you walked away from both of them nasty crashes👍 Did you hear how the other guy is from the 1st crash

[@TannerHolmes]

He is recovering right now and will be for the next 10 weeks.

[@pacowboy1968]

Man that’s some tough luck. As everyone else said keep your chin up and thank God you are not hurt. Cars can be fixed and replaced. And that lil sis of yours is pretty amazing. If she doesn’t start kicking your butt in the track (lol) you definitely need to keep her on the pit crew. You have a great team behind ya, you will go far. Top 10 in the A main.

[@TannerHolmes]

Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻🏁

[@imacomputer1234]

sorry for your bad luck, but just gotta pick yourself back up and keep going man! that's racing! :)
