At a local bracket race is one thing, but these people are supposed to be professionals

That looks nothing like a 17.

Most every track I`ve been to gives you the lower of two dial ins on the windows. Allowing a racer to change that late is complete bs.

Helmet probably blocked your view.

Wow - The legend himself! Not too many people know this, but the guy on the right was one of the head wrench turners for Sox & Martin back in the day. If Stock is a direct descendant of the firt Pro Stock cars, this guy is the Godfather of Stock!

Dont give that dirt bag that much credit!! That is the same guy that back in the day was on welfare and was going racing!!! NICE!!!!! A new set of slicks? Or feed your kids? Stephenson might have a little money now but that still cant buy him any friends or any respect!!!

Watch how you use the word dirt bag. My first, second, and third wife may be listening and think you are talking about me. I got enough problems already. Ok
