Well, you're a respectable man, so that situation wouldn't have ever happened. But you're right, if it hadn't been a past big money winner, he'd been thrown off the grounds and asked to never come back.
As far as the other driver taking it into his own hands, it would have just ended up worse for him with possible charges. Randy is (or supposed to be) in charge. With him not doing anything makes 2 punk a$$'s on the grounds.

I just listened to Luke and Jed podcast. I'm very disappointed on there take on the Hunter situation. Granted, they said it was wrong but they said that "man" is a kid and made a mistake. Trying to wreck your opponent is not a mistake!

Disappointed with Luke and Jed and there take on it. Had it been Ferris Bueller trying to wreck an opponent after a loss, they and everyone would be going nuts!

Again my 2 cents!

I am sorry that you are 'very disappointed' in the message that we delivered. I'm not sure what you heard us say, but I felt like we were very firm on the fact that it was a terrible and childish thing to do.

If you were doing the show, what would you have said? What should we have said, that we didn't say?

He did not 'try' to wreck his opponent. An intentional attempt to do that, would have ended in cars being wrecked. His opponent was an easy target for a crash if he desired to do that. He did put his opponent in harm's way, which was a bonehead move. It was a mistake in judgment, but the action was no mistake. If we said something different than that, our message didn't come across the way we intended. NEITHER of us condoned his actions, nor do we accept them as a simple mistake that should be overlooked. Hunter is a good kid/man/person. I like him a lot, but I DO NOT like what he did. People fail in life. I fail also. There should be punishment for our actions when our failures cause harm to others or in this case, almost cause harm to others. I think the opportunity to set a standard for punishment in a situation like this, was missed. However, I'm not sure that I would've done a great job of that either. As I said on the podcast, I 'think' I would've handled it a different way, but you never really know until you're faced with the decision.

This isn't a comment on your podcast. I haven't heard it. I firmly believe if the person who did this wasn't a "name" it would have been handled differently.

I did not, do not, and can not defend Hunter. He made a terrible decision and HE has to live with it.

Jared, Luke, and I share very similar views on this topic. Hunters actions were way worse than Treys, BY FAR. Plain and simple and DID deserve a repercussion/punishment. NOT my decision tho, not for me to make. I WILL NOT condemn Randy Folk for it either.

NONE of the people on this thread were at this race, support this race, intended to support this race...so throw your 2 cents if you choose, you wont effect the race in any way, shape or form. But hell, thats what these sites are for...to talk about it.

What some of you fellas COULD do is leave my kid out of it. For obvious reasons y'all...so 2 years ago and YOU FOOLS are not going to race the million anyhow.

Hope all is well for all and I personally could give 2 ****s if anyone disagrees with my view, every one has a right to feel the way they do.

I'm not seeing where the other driver did ANYTHING wrong. Please explain. Surely he wasn't in the wrong by whacking the throttle a time or two after failing to fall for the wheel-flip trick during staging, which I consider cheating.

This Hunter dude is the worst type of loser - one of those who can dish it out, but can't take it in return. Congratulations to Hunter for earning his way to the very top of the d-bag pyramid.
