A Wild Mini Stock Race at Franklin County Speedway 4/17/16

[@tomashton1781]

any driver that gets out of the car to diss the officials and other racers, should be banned from the track, period

[@johnlaws9230]

Or do like Tony Stewart kill um.!!

[@tysonfrank2105]

@@johnlaws9230 shut the fuck up dumbass

[@bugsy8625]

The problem here isn't just the drivers. It's also the officials. They have absolutely no control over what is going on on and off the track. Lot of cars should be parked or at least sent to the back for rough driving.

[@MorganRacing45]

bugsy8625 This was the beginning of new management which has since moved on and the race season ending halfway through. It's pretty much a dead track now and politics have ruined it. They are supposed to open back up for the 2018 season but a lot of the drivers refuse to go back because of the owner of the track. It got better through the year till the owner pulled the plug on the then promoter, who had the stands packed for the first time since the 80's. He seen money and wanted it all himself. The very next race after the previous promoter left, about 3 cars and 10 fans showed up. The race after was free admission and the same happened, about 3 cars and 10 fans.

[@OkieMikester]

I went to a fight and a race broke out!

[@wesleybusbin]

Mike W yes after that 50 car got off the track they started racing lol

[@ovalracer44]

Sorry but if the track allows someone to get out their car, fight, get back in and keep wrecking people, the track is a shithole.

[@MorganRacing45]

It's not a shithole but I agree, he should have been parked. I believe corrections are being made as I type this, to stop this from happening again. It's a great track with a few bad seeds. First race of the season with a new crew in charge will have some hiccups.

[@MrNumbs]

not to mention he got back in a raced with out his fire suit

[@bobbysolo5411]

Yep, they've got to set the rules in stone, for their own insurance purposes if nothing else. That 50 guy was out of his mind on adrenaline, and has personally wrecked 4 other cars minimum, and then HE gets hot about someone dumping him? I loved it when while he's already out of his mind, 2 more cars hit him while he's stopped, so there's no "question" that it might not be intentional. Message sent, he's got 4 cars with his # in their sights.

[@yanghigh1942]

probably meth i've had some serious adrenaline and never done nothing that dumb

[@hotboxwheelsmatch3798]

Love the video well done ,must watch till the end!! Boom!

[@masoncole7331]

Poor excuse of track officials...

[@billbelcher4324]

I ran this class for 6 years and no fights. We did it on the track to see who was the better man!

[@MrNumbs]

How can he(50) race with in a tee shirt, no fire suit, he took off that got back in with out it

[@bobbysolo5411]

Banjo music was keeping him safe.

[@jeffomspaugh6691]

If you can't drive, you just try to fight everyone

[@LeilaRWilson]

Just had one of these massive brawls out here at my local track (Orange Show Speedway our here in California.) It's kind of comforting to see that we aren't the only track to have that kind of brawl, but goshdamn if it isn't kind of scary to see people lose control like that. On the plus side, this track looks pretty racey and fun to spectate at!

[@bobbysolo5411]

Got to go there one time and had a great time. Good racing and fast cars. It was special for me as a dirt tracker to watch the asphalt guys go at it. I think we saved a lot of money on drive train wear and tear, on dirt, but, spent more on body work and parts, especially right front suspension parts, used up in a blink. My local track is paved and it's cleaner for fans and drivers, but, I do miss the tightly raced dirt races where the lead may change 4 times in a lap.

[@tomfranklin8637]

What do you mean if anybody gets this far watching the video? Who could not watch until the end.!!!!!

[@MorganRacing45]

Haha!

[@exessivemite9478]

+MorganRacing45 the hondas at the beginning *AHHH MY EARS*

[@muddybrookrambler]

Why are the main grandstands on the backstretch? I mean, that’s fine, I’ve just never seen that sort of setup before.

[@nfamus540]

Franklin County Virginia right? Oh good ole Franklin County, it's like this at all the tracks around here dirt or pavement, gotta love Virginia short tracks.

[@philipwalls7695]

Right on.. Langley, South Side, South Boston, Saluda, Winchester..Wouldn't be racing in Va without a fight..

[@hudsonhayer9376]

Damn i miss going to Franklin county lol.

[@DaveNull311]

That was almost some good racing once the 50 finally got off the track.

[@lorenreece1665]

Some drivers such as #50, have to cheat to win. He must be sooo proud of himself

[@jmc240]

Great video!

[@justsomerandomguy7515]

Grandpa needs to grow up or GTF outta there.

[@buckwild6552]

That guy was determined to leave with a black eye

[@BuzzingBark]

What is this?!? and I thought Bowman Gray fans were crazy, geez... Glad to know other places have fights like Bowman Gray!!

[@kartracer5g229]

Got a good chuckle from the if anyone made it this far into the video I record this stuff... Well ya don't say.. Couldn't have guessed by the fact you posted this video lol lol

[@MorganRacing45]

Matthew Ginithan Was trying to inform the racers that watched that if they go nuts, I'm definitely going to keep the camera rolling lol

[@kartracer5g229]

TravsRacingVideos never a bad idea hahaha

[@MorganRacing45]

Matthew Ginithan That's what most people watch for haha!

[@kartracer5g229]

TravsRacingVideos lol they do... I race myself so I see what happens and the fights that break out I just get a better view lol

[@davidca96]

Good race between 24 and 7

[@knifefriend7257]

You can see one of the drivers wearing a Nextel Cup Series official outfit. Wonder where they got that from.

[@mred5998]

Fox body Mustangs put on a "GREAT" show , "EVERY" track needs them !!!!!!

[@billbelcher4324]

Were was the 7 car to go????????

[@bobbysolo5411]

Ole #50 is sure making a case for being an innocent bystander VICTIM here, when while not really keeping a count, I think he singlehandedly spun about 5 cars. Maybe he hasn't ever heard of Karma, or Payback, or what you can look forward to for the rest of the season.

[@murph55]

i came to watch a fight and a car race broke out

[@backwardog1]

Is this hockey?

[@koltentrentracing9548]

most un-professional track iv ever seen

[@jlgoins64]

where exactly is Franklin County Speedway at, I live in High Point and have been to Roanoke and seen the signs but never could figure where the track is at or when the races were??

[@MorganRacing45]

Love Peace and Bacon Grease It's in Callaway VA. You can check it out on Google Maps. It's a dying track, if it's not dead already. The promoter at the time of this video, has moved on to other ventures and a new promoter is in place for 2018. We'll just have to see what happens but by what I've heard, the future doesn't sound promising for the track. It's a shame because the track itself is awesome. The politics is killing it.

[@jimmyray914]

That's what makes Franklin County Speedway so awesome. Where else can you see fighting, car ramming, yelling etc...that's one of the reasons I like going to watch the races there. Was pretty cool to see this race when it happened. I was looking for my car when I arrived but you wasn't recording when I drove along the front stretch. Was pretty awesome taking my car out on the track and slamming the gas pedal to the floor. The Frankilin County cops are cool as shit and talked to them for about 20 minutes after I run a lap. Wait till you hear my car next weekend. No cat, straight 3 inch exhaust, removed all 3 flex pipes, 4 into 2 into 1 header with an 18 inch long by 4 and a half inch stainless steel tip. Added 10.2mm spark plug wires and some new NGK Iridium spark plugs. Can't wait to hear it echo next week.

[@bobbysolo5411]

You talked a lot about how it will SOUND, but nothing about how FAST it was. What's up with that?

[@oldNastyRacing]

Going out there and say this if a woman hits a man likr a man she better expect tp be hit back like a man and but hope all parties involved get banned from the sanctioned body

[@bravoA-su8xm]

that's the way i see it aint no pussy pass in my book

[@jimmymac63]

What state is this in?

[@MorganRacing45]

VA

[@TiMOThy931GBO]

@9:50 what a freaking save

[@joellajuett1060]

At least they did it at the flaggers stand. Should be mandatory... wanna fight, meet on ft. Strech in front of all the fans !!

[@CirrusGorringe]

Nice fire suit

[@timjohnson3395]

What an embarrassment and a crap hole sure gotta pretty mouth pa

[@CBurns862]

Awesome video but this is why short track racing is slowly dying off. Dirt and asphalt tracks

[@lurch423]

dont thiis track have any type of rules hell that one dude had on pants a t shirt and tennis shoes

[@trevnthetractorguy4259]

reminds me of the stories i hear about me grandpa beat up 1 or 2 people every time he went out to race lol

[@monkeywrenchization]

I can see why this track didn't make it. Was the guy in the #50 car on drugs, he was really out of control. After he was out of the race things calmed down. You must have order on and off the track at all times, very poor management.

[@jeffomspaugh6691]

They need to put #7 in the fence every chance they get

[@ThePokeCraft]

I want to go to my local race track because I like racing but its people like the woman yelling stupid things and these people fighting that keep me from going.

[@MorganRacing45]

Places like Bowman Grey in NC pack the house to see stuff like this. Security there is way better though and it would have been over on the first incident. Back in 1979, NASCAR had a fight, and the sport took off. Times change though and racing just isn't what it used to be. Shame. Take care and Happy New Year

[@krbassin2465]

he was at my track he be done

[@owenfrye3700]

This is why we quit racing there with the minicup.

[@177racing]

Wouldn't blame you at all. this is a joke.

[@brandonavila5792]

Merced.sperawy

[@dennisharper5425]

That guy should go back to running shine.

[@oldguyracing1177]

theres nothing about this that is stock!!

[@iixmarsxii4944]

This track is a joke no structure to the racing

[@krbassin2465]

I beat #50 ass

[@tomashton1781]

kinda looks like number 3 is way out of line, and needs to be banned for fighting, but what blows me off , is he is allowed to continue and he smacks the wall, gets out and it appears that he is in short sleeves, and no gloves, this guy is a total jerk, you never exit a car unless its on fire or upside down. Those SOHC ford engines, stock make 85 hp, but with the right stuff 300,or more is a cake walk

[@tomashton1781]

I meant the guy in number 50
