HTF Late Model series is truly a great racing series. Very class act. Nice to have some big dogs coming around once in a while too. Bloomquist starting the year was special. Good luck for the future. Better luck to Joseph and the team next year too.

[@uniqueone2731]

I’m really sorry for the bad luck at I 75 but I want to say thank you for another great season of racing . The team has come a long way. I remember watching videos when the camera man was a teacher and a driver and the main driver would get out of dump truck and get into the race car. Great group of guys

[@Slotmachineking567]

When they was winning

[@errordotexe6967]

@@Slotmachineking567they are racing at a regional/national level now no way they can win every race with all the big names they race against plus they used to be racing local series against less competitive people

[@michaelatkins9780]

Three rounded off and broke equals, somebody screwed up. Those bolts don't just break...

[@Josh54548]

Great seeing Dirt Daddy able to use his skills and experience to help the team!! The team is lucky to have him on board!!

[@bubbaakatommyoso4119]

DirtDaddy will make it work lol and I have noticed Joseph Runs Better or should I say HTF runns better when their pops is their....🤘🏁HTF

[@justonstoneking8385]

Always thought the same thing. I've been watching since they raced outta @dirtdaddy shop

[@MrChristopherHaas]

when i was young i hung out at a 1/4 dirt track back in the days of middle class making it possible for 115 or more entries every week. So many characters, really good human beings and everyone knew each other and the majority got along. there were the occasional outside invaders swooping in and trying to take the top monies like a thief in the night (hellooo Pete Parker). Anyhow i remember thinking back then that either a tv show or a film should be made using all of the characters we had. Endless ENDLESS laughter, a whoooole lotta drama, good guys, bad guys….the show wrote itself. I believe HTF……our MRKETERS OF THE YEAR for 2nd consecutive time….. need to take my idea to Disney and Universal. Ill write the format and my dad lives very nearby htf as fate would have it if noone else steps up to get a watchable show organized. Hopefully THIS, in turn, will RAISE AWARENESS to the true GREATNESS of dirt track racing. For some reason i see Trey Mills as the focal point. He has Disney written aaaaalllll over him.

[@robertcharles1026]

Good to see some agriculture repairs came through, nothing like a strap to fix things

[@jasonneises9327]

The vibration probably caused by the ratchet straps holding the cover of rear end on. A lot of airflow going across the nylon, which will cause a vibration. I’m sure with all the ones you had on there, they were a humming!

[@ralphwatten2426]

I think you're right. We had a car top 12' boat when I was little and the straps holding the racks really buzzed at around 50 mph.

[@scottholbert2742]

@jasonneises9327 the bolts were already starting to pop before they put straps on . Do you really think the nylon strap buzzing broke bolts? Like GRAMPA JB says , COME ON MAN

[@rebeccareeves1549]

What a weekend is right

[@jeffmeyer3666]

This is getting old . . . they keep this up, they're running the risk of losing sponsors.

[@markschultheis5931]

Congrats on 5th place points in the htf series. Hopefully next year you can work out the bugs and get better at qualifying. Congrats boys. As always go get em boys. 👍

[@joeblow3435]

They working out more bugs than Orkin ...

[@gordonlitz4824]

That's crazy, first the fuel pump then the cover....off mishaps

[@mikediamond1522]

You have a bent shaft and / or bearings? Mike

[@Living_EDventures]

I wonder if the issue is what caused your fuel pump to break also.

[@stuartwall8212]

Joseph finally started to feel a vibration, so I think your idea is on track.

[@mathewpierce6385]

Great thinking boys 👍 great season! Get stuff fixed up ready for the next race!🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@danielbevier5813]

Great season this year against some really incredible drivers and teams1 You guys worked hard and made the show. Sometimes, things just go crazy for no rhyme or reason. Hand in there. Although it was hard to tell this past weekend, but the change of chassis does seem to have helped increase speed and consistency.

[@dieselman2000]

You probably have them, but I always kept a set of left handed drill bits to take out broken studs. Saved my butt more than once.

[@freedomwanderer91]

Well, that's racing.

[@rodconner9079]

What a tough break!!! Not a thing you can do 'cept hope & pray!

[@jasonritchie3238]

They are going to be awesome once they are done with the other stuff...i love HTF

[@nolyn.2373]

HTF NATION!

[@gentoolive]

ya'll run a mean hotlap.

[@michaelatkins9780]

Sure do. The pay sucks on hot laps, though.

[@bubbaakatommyoso4119]

I like I-75 from 10 years ago I been watching Races on The YT channel called Speedway Videos but anyway I always watched this track a lot because on Speedway videos the Camera Man films from the Very Top so the Track Looks like it's Down in a huge hole or Holler if u kno what I mean and the way they got the TOP TIER Talegating.Its also Kool the way the Cars enter the track down the hill I said this already but I wonder where KiD Quick is Dakota Knuckles usually races at I-75 a lot because That's who I always seen racing against Corey Hedgecock and Dakota knuckles and Vic Hill and Donald Mackintosh their and at 411 but I guess he's running weekend warrior Races I haven't seen him know where but anyway NC here Great Race track Last thing I was gonna say was Pensboro was funny to watch It's so Kool they opened it back up and The Smooth Operator won the XR series race their..My good friend I grew up withs Dad Raced in the World Championships at Pensboro back in 96 and 97 and 98 up until it closed and we are From Greensboro NC Search Ray Tucker 3 wheelin at Eastbay and thats my buddys dad My friend Races Now his dad Ray retired

[@joeblow3435]

They had the trouble with the cover the night before. Why didn't they fix it right or change rear end last night or race morning. And it's a new car and rear end so someone eather over tighten/striped them out or left them loose and they wollerd the threads out. Eather way someone did or didn't know what they are doing... I'd say over torqued stripping the threads. Bad deals... But expected from a top tear race team... Lol

[@TheBrookian]

If you can't fix it with bailing wire, duct tape and some 5 minute epoxy...it ain't broke.

[@bulletblast7818]

Don't forget the zip ties

[@CORNDODGER]

No its ELECTRICAL

[@TaylorHutchins-nf1kl]

Are you going to Florence Speedway this week

[@39impala]

That's NUTS!!!

[@michaelatkins9780]

Lock tite anyone? Lock washers? Two nuts on the stud? Anybody thinking?

[@robertbarone2306]

Ever since Kubota came on board, everything has gone downhill

[@wethepeople7961]

they are playing dumpster divers as an initiation , wake up , the fool on camera constantly virtue signals

[@jeffwiseman1368]

H.T.F. Super Dirt Series should have arace at the 3/8th miles clay track at Hibbing Minnesota.

[@TommyWilliams-l1m]

Need to put studs in that instead of bolts and also on the intake manifold.

[@sixwillwin]

You need more Dirt Daddy . Hes old school cool. Thinks of things you dont

[@ChrisGable-z4t]

Better luck next time tell Joseph he needs to start driving like his job depends on it just ain’t seeing that dog come out but he is good on equipment

[@dennisswab6020]

guys it was bad or down year ,gotta have it together to beat those guys

[@downhomeonthefarm6464]

The pinion gear must have too much end play. It needs to be torn down and gone through.

[@CRAZYWHITEBOY87]

Kinda what I was thinking,pinion gear slack,damn didn’t I hear one of them boys say they only had 12 races running that rear-end? Might spit em’ out but I’d have to throw a couple bolts back in er’ before starting that 50 lapper. Hell them ratchet straps will hold it.

[@neeleyjw25]

Jack shaft

[@BigTader]

I know it's hard to find crew members to travel but your team has suffered sense Jordan #1 left your team for more money. Jesse not being at I-75 didn't help. I hope that over the winter break you can get your team in a more competitive position and find 1 or 2 good crewmembers to travel with you. Good luck and safe travels.

[@chuckcleaves6816]

Thanks

[@kristinacamp7646]

I asked them if they was coming back to Lancaster speedway they said probably not

How the hell do you break off a QC cover stud???? With the cover off those studs should have been EASY TO EASYOUT

[@AirelKramer]

Wow i think they did good....5th in points after witching cars...and problems with parts thro out the year.... And everyting else

[@stewartdaniels2874]

Should put a GoPro on the rearend an see what’s happening to the bolts or quick change

[@RandyHall-z8i]

It looks good kinda looks short of power but good

[@TheCampfirekitchen]

Everyone wants to had or talk trash but I didn’t seen any of y’all having a car on the track. Enjoy watching the free content and how far yall have come! It’s not like your racing against stock cars in a modified. If racing was easy everyone would do it. 😂 enjoy the free video content as always keep digging! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@GregoryBradley-v3t]

Need to hire Jim Owen for two years Kabota

[@BabyJake426]

I am sorry for the bad luck HTF. 😕 I don’t understand why you carry a spare rear end that doesn’t fit the chassis.

[@dee73]

Your opinion bearing has went out it's cause of the rear end to move forward and backwards if you need to learn how to trail brake in the a corner

[@505robin]

If you dident have time to change the reared then why dident you take the studs out of the other rearend and use them

[@Ever443]

Broken off in the rear. Little difficult to get out at track without right tools

[@CORNDODGER]

@@Ever443 PRETTY DAMN EASY TO DO

[@Slotmachineking567]

Because they don't know what the hell they're doing

[@albertpacer3681]

Capital Junk, Someone screwed up those bolts dont just do that in a rear end.

[@GregoryBradley-v3t]

What Scott Bloom has ever have a ratchet strap under his car what the hell come on man?

[@jrwarner5342]

Whats the point of have 2 cars u should have swapped cars instead of doing some sketchy stuff

[@Fulford71]

pretty sure they stole the motor out of the back up car. could be wrong.

[@denniscarr21]

They only had the one with them at i75

[@dirtracer9193]

Love how you assume they are stupid when you have .1% of the story 🙄

[@jeannieanderson5640]

Nice block fanboy😂

[@scottholbert2742]

Mustt have never worked ion a car if you think that's sketchy. You do whatever it takes when your a raer

[@Justinhendrix7482]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know who the tallest late model driver out there is and how tall?

[@joshchilds1473]

Helicoils and some hardware will save the day in a pinch. Sorry for the shit luck.

[@bobbyswain9372]

Comon guys pull the other car out

[@waylonmcdaniel211]

Too many parts failures here lately.

[@TerryMillican]

Well late we got Trump in. We’ll get them next year.😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@phillipcottrille3296]

No hate intended but it seems rather strange that you would have the different issues these guys have gone through. Not a matter of good or bad luck, possibly much re of a management issue. JMPO

[@LUVEMDPOWER]

Geez, if you guys didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have any ..... or so it seems. Hoping 2025 is a better year for y'all.

[@kipleonard282]

The LCQ BOYS...😂😅😂😅😂😅😂

[@mikepowell134]

Does anyone else find their right foot pressing on an imaginary gas pedal? Lol

[@JohnsonT2724]

Okay any more back luck for these guys. Literally all the little things are happening popping tires, breaking shocks, loosing fuel pump, quick change cover and the starter wire. Anything else

[@henrysams421]

Uno

[@erichavens7817]

Are yall going to race at the dome this year

[@kingsalmon5905]

I saw the line up,and they were on it.,but who knows.

[@jamesdegraff]

Crash cart and spare car and no parts to fix the rear end. Logistical failure.

[@stuartwall8212]

I think it had 3 broken studs and 3 bolts plus straps. The bolts fell out, the straps didnt. Then the vibration was felt. How would this have been logistically solved? A rear end swap may have nothing to do with fixing the vibration.

[@NEMSIS005]

Why have a backup car and not use it he’ll it may have been faster

[@DanielJohnston-sr9je]

Where has Bo been?

[@jeffreymerhar4127]

Quit

[@GregoryBradley-v3t]

Kabota doesn’t make a welder what the F

[@Cmcncnncnc]

Did you guys get invited to the dome? Plz see this

[@drtfn10]

late models aren't invited just the mods are. anyone can enter to race in the lates class

[@kingsalmon5905]

​@@drtfn10I don't think that is correct, I saw the line ups for the dome and they were on it. I am assuming you are talking about the dome in St Louis, Dec 5th-7th. A lot of the Lucas Oil guys are going to be there.

[@jodybrimer6196]

Yes there In the dome race I think it showed Thursday for them

[@drtfn10]

@jodybrimer6196 what ypu ate seeing is the list on who is racing each night to qualifying for the feature Saturday. with the late models they have to break the drivers in supers up other wise the show would run into early the next day

[@Ithinkimaman666]

Time to get parts from different places that you normally do. Dumb things that shouldn’t be falling apart are and it’s making you guys look worse than you are.

[@Maddie-Girl]

Maybe go back to crate racing ,,supers don’t seem to agree with yah all

[@timroot936]

😂😂😂😂😂

Florida sucks go dogs

[@Trackratz-zl9di]

Embarrassing

Why fire Jessie?? It's not his fault that all that happened this weekend!!
