Just want to let everyone know the track was in great condition considering all the bad weather we have had. As a matter of fact it was as good as its ever been. Very smooth with times in animal at 11.10's. Great job Pee Wee. Also want to thank Leroy Dennis for hooking us up with super fast tires and my brother Nick for great driving.

ok with the points they did mess things up and put the medium points for heavy but that is fixed now with the past state race there was some controversy but by no means were we trying to "cheat" and i have no problem with bobby or nick i'd be glad to run against them any day and i know they both would make me work my butt off to get by them or to keep them behind me but i feel with you Talking about my dad bringing up what happened like 5 years ago was very unnecessary and very out of context of what happened at the last state race and if it wasn't for my dad or Mr. Mike Bradford then nick wouldn't of gotten to qualify because they felt like it was unfair that they would not give him time to get back to the grid and qualify so i hope all this bull crap is put behind everyone and this next state race will be a really good race between me and nick for the championship

Steve, You are 100% correct in what you said. I took what happened at the race yesterday looked at the points and got very upset and posted some very unkind comments that I wish I could take back. I had no idea the points were messed up from last time and should have called someone and talked with them before jumping to conclusions. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am very competitive and will speak up if I think something is wrong and let my emotions get to me. That is no excuse for what I said but true. I appologize to Michael and you for what I said and defintely handled the whole situation wrong. Michael is a good clean driver and competitor and I would like to race or have nick race against him anyday. I was very suprised when I saw the points and assumed michael did not weigh in to benefit another driver. Now I see I was wrong in I disagreeumption and appologize.
Tyler, Bringing up what happened five years ago was wrong and I appologize to you and your family for bringing it up. You are correct that Mike Bradford and your dad had a big part in letting Nick requalify. I appreciate what they did. I do not agree that we had to go back out again and requalify after Nick got the pole everyone knew Nick was going back out and nobody said anything or would have until he got the pole. Nick and you are racing for a championship and that cost us ten points. Nick was on the grid ready to qualify and they would not let him that is not are fault. If nick loses the championship by five points which could happen in the right scenario I will always remember that. Like I told Steve looking forward if I have a problem with something or someone I will go to them instead of posting in a public forum like I did. I have never bashed anyone on here before and never will again. I hope that at the next state race the championship can get settled on the track between you and nick in a fair way and if you beat him I will be the first to congratulate you like I have before.

P.S. We need to make some kind of rule that if you go on the track you must weigh this is becoming a big problem in racing today especially with money races. People are racing point races that are not running for points and then getting people to not scale in to manipulate the points. I have seen it done numerous times this year and admit I have done it in the past. It is wrong and I have been wrong in the past and regret it. If you run a race in nascar you get the points for the place you finish no matter if its your first race of the year or been in the points all year. I know there are always ways to cheat and manipulate the points to help or hinder people but the least we can do is make sure everyone who races weighs in and goes to tech.
