I’d like to see Joseph be way more aggressive, seems like the starts and restarts kill him every time

guys I want to tell you we were very happy to have you all up here racing at one of our local tracks here at Beckley and do not be disappointed in how you ran up here because this is a tough track to learn at first but normally after the first race you know what to do after that from then on... I can also tell you Joseph ripped the lip around that place and there's been only one other driver I seen before that can pull that off and not tear the car up and that was Josh Rice.... A Medium Soft Right Front with a Harder right rear for any race that's 40 laps or more also works good.... it's pretty lenient on the tire rule most of the time at Beckley also but this Friday coming up is the shaffer's oil Southern late Model Series opening night at Beckley and the very next night maybe an hour and 5 minutes south back down the Interstate at Wythe RaceWay and it's a wide higher banked half-mile speedway that any of your all's cars would work well on and it's easy on tires too with a lot of grip down there and big mile per hour... also the third night Sunday is at bulls Gap if I'm thinking correctly so that would be a good triple header for you guys to come back up and run but bring the merch trailer if you do because you'll sell out more than likely with Beckley and Wytheville Raceway.... also up this way is a lot of dirt tracks within two and a half hours in any direction away from Beckley, that pays very well pretty much every week,, such as Atomic, Portsmouth, Bulls Gap, Tyler County, WVMS and many others...

[@mikemiller551]

Yes, this particular area is dirt track country, no doubt about it......please come to Atomic Speedway!!!

[@travisrickett5681]

I would seriously consider a car chief at this point. Y'all have a good driver, a new car and a new engine. Yes you should learn something from every race, but that can be a expensive education. FYI, I'm not a hater, just a long time fan that wants to see this team do good.

[@jrvk82]

What does a car chief do?

@@jrvk82 Set up the car....knowingly.

[@jrvk82]

@@thxman1968 These guys seem to know what they are doing. They have become a lot more successful than most other late model teams in the same amount of time. If you've never been to a track before would you expect to be as fast as guys who have/do race there often? Guess I just don't see

[@runswithdogs6892]

@@jrvk82 Travelling to West Virginia from Florida to run at the back I guess I don't see. HTF has a good driver, strong motor and fast car when they have the setup. If running at the back, doing a start & park and not bending the car is a good road trip then it was good. Knowing how he can drive Joseph should be losing sleep over results like that. Congratulations that the car didn't get bent is a pretty low bar.

[@jrvk82]

@@runswithdogs6892 That’s definitely your opinion that you’re entitled to but I’ll let them decide what’s best for them. I love it when people think they know what’s best for other people and love to tell them. Lol. I suppose it’s coming from a good place though so I should let it go. I’m sure there’s a lot that goes into what they do and in to considering adding another person on their payroll like a “car chief”. Let’s let them do them, enjoy the content and cheer them on instead of telling them what they “should” be doing.

[@haroldgarrett9677]

Looks like a pretty good trip. Everybody and all the equipment made it back intact. That’s a good thing!

Good to see y’all out there trying to make an effort I have been following y’all since y’all started and it’s been nice to see how far y’all have come but just seems here lately that y’all are struggling. I’m praying for y’all that you can find a way to push through and be up front. I know y’all can do it and I know y’all have the equipment. Keep up the hard work and it will pay off don’t stop chasing the dream. Don’t stop trying to do what you love. God bless and safe travels

They’re popular because they have strong social media and a progressive merchandise sales effort. Good job Jonathan! But they aren’t ready to race with the Big Dogs, obviously.
