HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAYMOND LONG!

Daymond Long #28 sportsman driver was involved in a wreck last race. I have gotten all kinds of opinions of what happened. I seen the #46 Robert Cohron get into the back of #28 Daymond Long and then Daymond get over into the outside lane as #44 Phillip Akin was trying to enter the opening for the pass. As to who was at fault, I didn't see it close enough to spin my opinion. It was hard racing for sure. Feel free give your opinion, but KEEP it CLEAN.
This hurts me bad. Why? Because I am a Chevy Man. And Sunday night at Beech Bend Raceway two FORDS in two different class WON! The top photo is #46 John Summers of the Modified Street class. He drove off with a sizable lead to take the win. John's car had been sitting in a barn for a few years and they just knock the dust off and come out and won. The photo below is #87 Jeff Bush. Bush knocked the dust off his car also. It has been sitting at home too. Oh well, I guess the chevy guys need to step it up with these HOT ROD FORDS coming to town. Good Job John and Jeff.
Wild, what can I say about this deal? First, I am friends with both you guy's. And Tommy and Doodle were friends. Doodle needed a ride to keep up his points lead and Tommy let Doodle drive his car. Doodle won in Tommy's car. What a great thing for two racers to do for each other. I am not going to say much more except read the writing below (Melton-Bland Battle) and most of that applies to you guy's. I hope you both find it deep down in your soul to forgive each other and finish this season out with some good hard racing. Like Forrest Gump said, that's all I got to say about that.
I thought about this war between Matt Melton and Joe Bland most of the day. The question was how do I report this incident without making one or both parties mad at me? With that being said let me first say this. I love stock car racing as much as most anyone out at the local tracks of Beech Bend Raceway. I would do nothing on purpose to hurt Beech Bend Raceway, Stock Car Racing or any of you racers. I happen to feel that I am friends with both parties. Again, with all that being said, as I have said on here more than once I DO NOT LIKE TO SEE RACERS USE THEIR CARS AS WEAPONS ON THE TRACK OR IN THE PITS. I also have raced many times at Beech Bend Raceway and other tracks. I have gotten so mad that I could have beat the daylights out of another racer. But I didn't! If you are going to race or compete in any competition you must learn to keep your feeling and tempers in check. Easier said than done, I know! Losers KEEP fighting and WINNERS and REAL men can say I'm SORRY and go on racing. The only trouble with that is sometimes neither side feels like they were wrong and that MALE macho thing comes into play. Well tough, get over it. The crowd keeps most of this stirred up. Why? Because they like to see you all put on a show. And if one of you hurts, kills or do anything bad, you go to jail and they go home and laugh at you while they sleep in their nice warm bed and you are in a cold old jail and maybe for a long time. I know you say I'm not going to kill someone, right! Ask a former racer Joe Ray. He hit a crew member/Owner and when he fell to the blacktop he hit his head and almost died. Joe got 5 years. Is this really worth it? I think not. NASCAR has trouble with drivers. Just like Carl Edwards and Kyle Bush. NASCAR also keeps a handle on things. And again, with that being said, a good rivalry is fine and also fun for the fans to watch. Even bumping and hard racing is good. But if a guy spins you be a man a shake his hand at the end of the race. He will think a lot more of you. But if he spins you again next week? Get someone that is not with you, like Dallas Jones, Bobby White, Gary Dalton and after the drivers meeting talk to him with them. But talk like a man and no foul language or such. Work it out like grown men. Hey, and you kids racing in a man's world need to act like grown men too! I could rattle on for ever, but I will stop. Guy's remember, young kids in the stand may want to race someday and may have you as their idle. And if you post on my site remember to KEEP IT CLEAN.
