TmezTv Wing Racing!?! Podium 1st Night 410 Sprint Car After Missing Flipping Car Benton Speedway Mo

Welcome back to TmezTv! I thought I had the weekend off when I got a message on Facebook less than 24 hours ago to come to Benton Missouri to race the first sprint car race Benton speedway has had in 10 years for Paul Hart in the Route 44 Sonic 410 “Wing” sprint car! Pumped to get back in a wing car. Excited to get TmezTv a wing ride too. We qualify mid pack and that puts us starting third in the heat race we squeak our way into second and make the dash but after rubber down track conditions the track decides to cancel the trophy dash and I end up starting eighths after running second in the forth heat race. We almost get crashed but find our way to p2 when they drop the checkered‘s.
Thanks for watching TmezTv

Nice looking car.... I'm going to grab a Sonic Burger for lunch tomorrow! Shout out for Shouting out that sponsor!!👍👍😉

[@tmezTv]

Thanks for watching 🍻

[@1919champ]

I know I keep on saying this, but this is the best racing footage period! F-1, Indy car, trash car, does not hold a candle to the content you are putting out. Sprint , midgets on dirt is pure car control, courage and imagination and you have been able to capture it. Love the camera angles, your commentary. Such a positive attitude. Thanks for all your time you are devoting to the channel.

[@tmezTv]

Appreciate that it’s been fun so far hopefully make some money too I been breaking GoPro every 10 nights

[@mr.obvious4371]

Yes nice comment so true

[@rustym4184]

Wow man, that’s impressive! Show up to run a car you’ve never seen before, mount your seat, then run P2 behind Miller! Heck of a run, and a really fun video to watch.

[@mr.obvious4371]

exhilarating video to watch !

Perfect tire management!! Heres your glazer!! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩

Dirt racin, Sonic and TMez TV, the trifecta.. Look at those cat like reflexes! That was Bad A$$ TMez!

[@tmezTv]

Thanks 🤣

[@stevebriant1811]

Great job. First night, unfamiliar winged car. Footage is so good I found myself giving body english to the car from my chair. Lol. Hope it helped.

[@spongebobdriftpants]

The content you create for your fans and the fort that goes into that, you may just be the greatest living racecar driver currently solely based off the experience you provide your fan base. Excellent channel

[@mr.obvious4371]

You can thank me latter for the 410 ride. Those two old timers were pouring lead in the tank lol I think he added 3 pounds of air pressure when you said 9 those two guys had you earning your money! man . I like seeing u at your best! Certainly more like a silver crown car. than those little bumblebees with the TRD s love the videos bro keep the dream alive

[@jodyrolandconstruction6577]

I raced and won a lot of races at Benton and it was either fast and tacky or slow and slick. You never knew. And you’re right Paul definitely has some nice stuff. Always has. One of the nicest guys too. I wish he’d give me a call. 😂😂😂

[@johnnyquist8362]

TMEZ, you are a man to be admired.

[@the-only-SAMPSON]

I love TMez TV!! You really show what it is like to drive a sprint car, wing or non-wing! Thank you TMEZ!!

[@tmezTv]

Thanks I’m trying to make it look good I had 4 cameras on the car this week

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

Those quick "inside" - "outside" moves were wild...great driving T.

[@speedwaystevecronk6680]

Tmez the Sonic man! Congrats to the team on a good night and for making the contact to put Tmez in the car. Elbow's Up and do the pedal dance to the front, thanks for the ride and all the camera and edit work that you do. Best of Luck and Skill going forward.

[@ritachambers6353]

Yes, that was fun

[@scottkernan949]

Dude that was awesome to watch

[@edminas3159]

Always love your attitude "this is going to be fun". Heck yes. I had fun watching you. Love my TMez Tv not to mention my favorite driver

[@tmezTv]

Thanks Ed I like what I do 👊👊

[@snoopdogAZ]

TMez, You could kick butt with the All-Stars.

[@SmokinScott]

Great drive & great video work! I have raced a sprint & your videos are just like being in one again...awesome! Love it! Please keep explaining the set up changes, it really helps the fans understand those beasts. Love your attitude. Keep having fun! Hey, how's the minibike?

[@colebollinger4320]

This was a great video to watch after being there in person! Lived 2 miles from this track my whole life. This was the 1st REAL dirt track race that’s been at Benton in 9 years. (If you don’t count the craziness that happened earlier this year.) I’ve gotten to race 4 wheelers on that track the past couple of years and even our tires get bruised up😂. I grew up with practice tracks at home on some of that same hard gumbo, it can be awfully slick but if the conditions are just right you’ll have all the traction you could ever ask for!! Mom asked me “why I don’t put down the 4 wheelers for a race car instead?” Maybe a new venture one day!?

[@tmezTv]

That’s awesome! Quads are fun but maybe not as safe as a Racecar

[@Hope_C0re]

Nice work T....✌️

[@jeremyhernandez3354]

Great job! From the camera views to the explaining of what the crew's are changing what your changing. It's all great. Keep up the great work.

[@dougscurr272]

great run! shows what a good setup and great driver can do even on a rubber down track. conservative yet aggressive enough to run up front 👍👊👊

[@b.rocket]

Great job man.

[@RacingWithChuck27]

Nice run in the winger. I’ve followed USAC CRA & NARC NW. it was cool seeing the Woo run with and without wings. You’ve got the skill to do well in both. Sunshine has represented NW guys running wings for sure. Kinser Swindle, Wolfgang, Bobby Marshall back in the day were great either way. Capital Speedway in West Sac in 78 Gold Cup

[@tmezTv]

I think I could do both with a good wing car

[@mr.obvious4371]

The two old times I see clearly now nice info

[@musicstewart9744]

Great. Hope you do it again!!

[@randygussman2304]

You make it look so easy I think I can do it no not really haha nice job thank you very much for your videos

[@tmezTv]

Awesome commentary during the race. I enjoy hearing your breakdown of each situation you have out there.. Keep up the good work

[@mr.obvious4371]

Yes specially on the reds Or when the left fronts off the ground & turning a knob or peeling tare offs away wiping a go pro off Reminds me of AJ Foyt. Iol

[@ronfox5519]

You know the track was slick when the car is still sparkly clean at the end of the night.

[@tmezTv]

And the GoPro!

[@mr.obvious4371]

I think he drove around all the mud like a slot car lol

[@kevinkotansky4184]

Dang, talk about hard and dry slick. Looked like a skating rink speedway. Great job missing the calamity and keeping your car up front! 🏁

[@tmezTv]

It was as slick as they get!

[@justinedwards5519]

Great race!

[@peteanderson970]

I watched this video before I met my dad at BAPS and Williams Grove this past weekend. I mentioned your Macri comment. So, the remainder of the weekend, we called him "Ol' Two Pedals." LOL And it's all I could think about when he made that last ditch run in turns 3 and 4 on Marks at the end of the National Open. I love your videos. Keep up the great content, especially the in-car footage.

[@tmezTv]

That’s Hilarious!

[@rhyskolaric16]

As a central pa posse guy for you to know and try out macris techniques put a smile on my face

[@TheBullet51]

[@rustycaplinger8036]

Wow the wreck was really close glad you didn't get involved.

[@rhyskolaric16]

Great choice to tell em to drop psi in the right rear

[@corkyosborn652]

Nice to see you underneath a wing again. I’m sure Dub Zero Don appreciated you keeping them skills sharp just in case. Lol. Great video as always and hope to see you around the horn somewhere.

[@tmezTv]

Appreciate that it was fun hopefully get the DubZero out 10 shows next year

I got the chance to meet and talk to TMez at benton and I have never met a nicer driver in my life, I was too busy in the pits to watch the feature so this is great

Be there in the USAC midget races

[@brockcottrell3143]

I ran at one track in a winged sprint car and every car at the track had zero tread after the A it was crazy have never seen anything like that.

[@MHsearchingTruth]

Awesome video and experience, love the content. Also I really enjoy the voice overs and knowledge experience that you share about your decisions and what your doing on the track. I think sometimes the voice overs could be a little higher volume, but I'm sure it can be difficult editing and adding voice lines on the road.

[@tmezTv]

I need to work on the volume for sure. I always notice it afterwards. Appreciate the comments

[@jordanhustedde4920]

What's it like having a steering wheel seat attached to a race motor? Looks like the most fun!

Man you know the tracks is dry , hard, and taking rubber when you can hear that right rear squealing on entry to 1 and 3.

[@nicholaspiscitelli495]

Awesome job!! Wish of sprint car wing or no wing are harder to drive ?

[@tmezTv]

That’s a tough one. Wings can be less work when the car is right but you are going so fast it’s hard to say it’s easy

[@billy9995]

Awesome job changing up your driving style. hows the big wheel do in a wing car? Your smooth man, this silly season hope someone gives you more opportunities 🤘

[@DRIPZERO5]

Whoa a little bit of winged 410 action? You looked a Sammy swindell out there without the attitude or championships. Twitter is g*y & Tmez is awesome.

[@tmezTv]

Lmao Sammy was going to drive the car and had to bail out and they called me

[@DRIPZERO5]

@@tmezTv Sammy must of bailed because he doesn’t like sonic food.

[@manga12]

ah was it like christmas time getting to be back in a winged car again even with the airflow issues at first, seems your not really having to saw the wheel like in a wingless to get it around the turn does it glue the car to the track that much more? or is it just that much rubber down, to where they say on silver crowns the stearing gets better as it goes due to the amount of rubber helping with the grip and building up as the race goes on those old fairground tracks? I know its been awhile but I belive there was a clip of you racing silver crown in 2011 at terre haute and it was nothing but a dust storm so they stopped the race cuz no one could see.

[@tmezTv]

It’s so glued to the track it’s unbelievable. Like a slot car. The rubber makes the track sticky and faster for sure. But beware or you will burn all the rubber up and when the tire is bald the grip goes away real quick

[@manga12]

@@tmezTv makes a bit more sense though the rubber down glazed the track over and thats why it gets so slick in the feature races so they start on the fresh dirt on the cushion

Are you gonna be in Texas the 28th and 29th?
