Despite the outcome, this is the best HTF video I have ever seen! The race footage editing was TOP- SHELF! 👍🏼 Heck of a run Joseph!!! You did yourself, the HTF Team and HTF Nation proud! 😁 Best of luck tonight!!! 🏁👍🏼😊

[@masonwehrs2436]

That heat race was so intense and that’s the most sliders I’ve ever seen in one race!!! Also you guys looked so fast.

[@tukn24s]

To run up front at an event with 80 cars, you guys should be proud!

[@johnrafferty5266]

Joseph is the wheel man where ever he goes he gives it all

[@justinwheat5657]

When you can drive it shows no matter where you go hoss!

[@DIRT_TRACKIN]

That has to be one of the hardest thing when you are first and catching the back of the pack. and the second place car can see you and the back of the pack. He can go where you didn't, Keep your head up you made us all proud tonight.

[@edwardcarter5217]

He did a great job. Mama said that there would be days like this.

[@dbsnyder4503]

That's the difference between winning and settling for second. That's what I love to see in a wheelman! Go get em next time Joseph! Way to go HTF!

[@sleekimagesphotography]

They took notice that #HTF was in the house !!

[@nashguy207]

[@tbone67gthenderson78]

[@bowhunt716]

Good luck tonight, they definitely knew you were there.

[@jefft1978]

Glad you showed the in car of Joseph giving the 2nd place driver (heat race) a thumbs up, awesome he appreciates good hard, clean racing.

[@rothe31]

Joseph. Heck of a showing. Those guys know you're the real deal! Get them tomorrow night!!

[@jefflawsonqwest]

The footage and editing on this video was next-level. I always enjoy your videos, but your cuts back and forth from the stands, to the in-car, and to the rear view...it was all really really well done. Kudos and thanks for the entertainment.

[@robertlgary2560]

Great job, everybody !! The car and driver had it all in that 1st heat race.

[@johnpeterson462]

Cameron is such a good guy, so glad he's in a lot of the racing videos

[@wileyphillips7884]

[@smokyp17]

Y'all boys had that car setup all night. Ran into some bad luck but y'all boys should be proud of yourselves. Joseph is a wheel man, great job fellas!!

[@MrChill156]

That was some damn good racing in the heat race and a nice piece of driving by both drivers swapping sliders every turn.

[@fyingace14]

I'm telling you this is one wheel man he gets better every time out these sponsors are missing out on this guy he's young and takes care of his equipment.

[@jameswolfe7323]

Heads up guys that's racing, still two nights of racing and you have the fastest,balanced car out there. HTF

[@ricklockhart6576]

Joseph, that HEAT Race was one of the Best Races I have ever seen, you drove that #10 CAPITAL CHASSIS LATE MODEL DIRT CAR like you know JESUS LIVES. GREAT JOB.

[@DannyWalker247]

The in car during the heat race was epic! What a great drive by Joseph!

[@dscardbreak8078]

Well I have to say you guys are always damn good in qualifying and heat races. But it's the feature that pays.. I wish you guys the best of luck tonight hopefully you get everything put back together and pull out a win..

[@stephanieclark290]

Hey. I just wanted to say thank you for posting and doing what you ALL do! We wanted to say hey tonight be yall were really busy when we went in the pits. My son gives me a hard time eating sometimes and when we put yall on he will eat and eat. So THANK YOU keep posting and maybe we will get to say hi next time you come down to East Bay! 🙂🏁

[@mbeebe10]

Dang I was starting to get pumped. What a race and that heat race is the type of racing you love to see. Keep up the good work good luck the rest of the weekend. Can not wait for the videos to come out.

[@stevendixon8438]

Outrageously awesome wheelman and a outstanding job love watching Joseph wheel a race car and he makes very minimal mistakes just one of those things that happen when your racing hard good job jo jo and all of the htf crew

[@howardbarnes3439]

Heck of a great race night !!! Great job HTF crew and driver. Been more than one excellent driver get bit by the deep stuff. Watched C. Bell do that at the Chilli Bowl a couple weeks ago! That’s why we watch! Great video boys and girls!

[@jcshort31]

[@bruceplumisto]

Again...Great job Kayla! The lady behind the scenes ☀️ driver, fine job.. you were going fast and taking chances! That's the job sir

[@bryonkidder6199]

2nd time watchin'...lol Hats off to the #14 for knowing how to race and not running out of talent like so many do...lol That was a "Show"! Bravo!

[@bear4482]

Hell of a race boys, so many sliders ❗Dang wall just reached out and grabbed you Joseph, you didn't want second anyways ‼️✌️🤘👍🙏

[@Dusty392009]

Heck of a run for sure. It’s tough to stomach losses when you know you have the car to beat! Get them tonight boys!

[@twointhewest]

Wow ... just WOW !! JOSEPH you did great in the heat race .. GOOD CLEAN WIN there!! FEATURE race was yours too ... with all the lap traffic its hard to stay low when everyone else is too. The 5 car almost got too high too. Low to high to low looked like your groove. Run your groove & try, try to not follow the lead car, 5 had a similar groove, but different. From what I seen, east bay doesn't have much banking , that wall must be hidden under the loosely thrown dirt. You will get'em next race ...its easy for us viewers to give gopro advice, but we only have the visual & its slightly different than your view. STAY FOCUSED, STAY LOW , & YOU WILL GET 'EM!! GREAT RACING JOSEPH !! I like how Jonathan always give you encouragement. He is a great brother & you have a great crew to be there for you!!

[@tomkelsh7150]

Best dam heat race I've ever seen good job!!!!!!!!

[@kennylewis8752]

That has got to be one of the best hear races I've ever seen!! Grate driving!

[@HonkeTonk]

He had that thing ROLLIN’ ! Good job fellas 💪🏻👍🏻

[@colorado4202]

Hey Joseph stay up on that wheel like you been . You guys have the car they have to beat you don't beat yourself. Good luck tomorrow night and the next night

[@bryonkidder6199]

Good to see Bo and Cameron too...lol Thanks to Bo for letting Cameron share his knowledge with the HtF Team! It's like Cameron flipped the "Go Fast" switch...lol Great run! Go gett'em next time! I'm gonna have to watch the heat racing again...lol Where did Bo finish?...btw

[@timrobinson4058]

Awesome fast car guys Joseph ran a heck of a race .getem next time .

[@jakesexton1335]

That heat race was awesome to watch. That had to be fun behind the wheel.

[@mattmurawski7308]

Hell of a race boys

[@larryhoward6323]

Shocks are working that is how a car should look coming off the top!!! Great job fellas hang in there wins are coming ! Very very impressive run#!! HTF looking for more!!!

[@waynesimmons7052]

Man!! That was a race!!! Had my phone moving and all. Awesome sportsmanship!!! This reminded of a race I watched many years ago when two drivers ran like that and both of them got out and hugged!! Lol!!! There is hugging in racing!!! Lmao!

[@pauldavies8194]

Dam nice wheel work Joseph I was impressed with your passing and cheering you on(screaming at the TV go Joseph go) and some of the best passes in a while. Smash the loud pedal can't for your next one. Paul New Zealand I can't wait to travel to the US and visit.

[@alkennedy1124]

Slide jobs galore, kool nice job Joe, now fr the ready of the story, thanks BigAl California.

[@genemartin6962]

Those new shocks put that thing in the wind..She was STROLLLLLLING!!! Had the car to beat just ran out of real estate. The only way to go fast is to get it very very close to that edge and sometimes you step over. Your driving skill has increased dramatically since I started watching you guys. You guys have come a long way in a short time. Great video, Great racing, Great job by all concerned.

[@CJH34]

You do a really good job at editing these videos and putting them together to make it this good!

[@billyhale7963]

That’s why it’s called racing and not winning! Awesome job team!!!

[@sheilakilroy441]

What a heat race holy cow you would have thought that was the feature. Biggest Florida fan David Kilroy.

[@IIIErebusIII]

It will all iron out the progress you guys have made is incredible keep it up, Luck is man made and your hard work will pay off.

[@jasonwehrling738]

Killer video and what a driver joseph is on the gas and kicken *ss. You guys will have a first place or two by the time you leave the track boy's. HTF all the way baby.

[@jw-zl3zp]

They will be back. Damon guys Joseph is the Man!! Track looks slick..

[@disgrutledhobo6204]

Always proud of my favorite race team! You guys rock! Keep up the wholesome racing content! Jesus Lives!

[@dm231st]

You all should be proud! Oh yeah, by the way, no matter what the outcome of that race was or the outcome of any race is, Joseph is definitely a wheel man and more!!! He drove that track and made some great moves and was clean, I love it. Keep up the good work and keep on racing. AWESOME!!! Be safe and God bless.

[@brianmimbs1941]

that first heat race was intense!! great job!

[@mikebruce6037]

Dang good job Joseph ! Lapped traffic put you in that position. Good luck tomorrow night !

[@brianellington8046]

[@mikesmith4733]

Awesome video!!!!! Great job Joseph... Don't be down, just go get them tomorrow..them their shocks get the tracksion you can climb walls with em . Lol ..Great job Joseph keep your head up, awesome driving. Good luck tomorrow

[@j3motorsports827]

East bay was the first dirt track I ever went to (8 years old) and a late model barrel rolled down the front stretch, I’m 14 and love watching your guy’s videos

[@butchcassidy3373]

Good job Joseph. You was Wheeling it for sure.

[@cgundlac]

Fastest car out of a pack that large is nothing to shake a stick at boys! Can't be results oriented when you're in that situation, gotta send it and go for the win. Mistakes happen, but that's the best I've seen y'all look in a big show compared to the rest of the field. Those shocks are obviously paying off with pure unadulterated SAUCE on exit. Side note, that great race was the stuff racing game LIVE FOR! Best few laps I've seen in a long long long time, especially in pro lates. Great driving JJ, you'll get em this weekend for sure if you keep driving the wheels off, that's for sure! Great stuff fellas, makes me miss being in the mud with the guys

[@MrBluboy59]

video with the rear shots awesome well done boys good luck for the rest of the weekend

[@countryboy8762]

I am proud of you guys. Joseph did great. Those other guys defiantly know HTF is in the house. Kick tail and take names.

[@rebeccareeves1549]

Good job Jo Jo !! and Jesse? FANTASTIC spottin #HTFNation

[@roosta3tb]

I would love to see more of you guys praying. I like to pray with y’all

[@rickygeary4879]

[@happywrenching33]

[@jimmytidwell127]

[@michaellaw7881]

Up on the wheel. Great driving. On your way to great things

[@bellesmom238]

Heck of a job guys , Great run with some stiff competition , PROUD PROUD PROUD

[@stevensteele9648]

Heck of a race! As Forrest Gump said, it happens. East bay can have lots of slick spots especially when the tide comes in. Sometimes it can get pretty wet.

[@racerdad6455]

Jojo keep that head up, you where battling for the lead after all, nice heat win too🏁

[@Brian-vd4mg]

Awesome run Joseph and HTF. Go get it tonight.

[@jameslynch2407]

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.It is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchhill...... carry on good job!

[@bongwater642]

That was an incredible run with the #14!

[@HAMMERTYME1]

You look good out there Joseph, good run last night Mark Whitener is one of the fastest and best drivers out there and you were toe to toe with him but there's times you have to remember 2nd pays better than a dnf but sometimes things just happen good job regardless good luck tonight and remember the wall is not your friend!!

[@hackdlc]

Jessie. That was too far up Bud. Tough break. Get em tonight.

[@David_Bell3939]

Awesome driving Joseph. Awesome car.

[@treytavares8590]

After the last lap of the heat race you could see the left rear seating on that new Penske the entire length of the back straight!!

[@jimmyclark7450]

Good job JJ, car is fast. Go get ‘em!!

[@samuelglisson4811]

Great effort. Y'all had the baddest hot rod on the property.

[@williambullock3007]

That’s some good driving hopefully better luck next two nights 👍

[@petecastle5762]

Best heat race of the year

[@chrisreeves7598]

Cant knock yourself for that run guys. Its was on a rail and cant wait to see it run the next couple of days.

[@mikekirby7169]

HTF definitely had the car to beat!!!!! Go for the W Tonight jojo!!!

[@drewstrickland2012]

Absolute wheel man!! Great job Joseph and the crew! Amazing what a good set of shocks will do. Enjoyed the video. Good luck in night 2.

[@jongolliher4280]

Hey, that 1st heat was a promoter's dream race! Racing Just don't hardly get better than that! Really, the main was pretty darn good also but just not personally as fun after the wall made itself known!. From what I gathered on floracing, the turns were not only different but they even kept changing differently! Joe did a great job all evening and the revised package was running and handling great the 1st night out! Since it has only been one night I would think there is enough potential, with Joe learning the "new car" to be competitive with anyone there. Don't let a wallbanger get yall down. Gotta get to Floracing. Good luck and good breaks and keep having fun!

[@justinm1150]

the WHEEL MAN WOW I am AMAZED at his SKILL

[@rogerkoth1971]

I think that was the best heat race i have ever seen. slidejob after slidejob.
