Hmm, too bad I didn't get to read some of the comments made earlier as they were removed before I got a chance. But thankfully, I wasn't involved in the mess as some would so believe. I was trying to calm my brother down, trying to get him from running on the track. As dad has said to me, I believe my brothers pit road is all over and done with. He will have to watch the features from the stands the rest of the year. Just so everyone knows, I am not going to completely stick up for my dad on the incident either. What he did was wrong under caution. I thought for sure the black flag was going to come out. I do believe he got dumped pretty badly though before the caution incident. But as the rest of the year has gone so far I have been leaving the issues that happen on the track for my dad to deal with. So dad felt he needed to deal with it a certain way. That is his business not mine. Two wrongs definately did not make a right in the TC feature. But what is done is done. It's unfortunate that it had to go that way as both dad and Eddy were having great runs. I just want to take the time to apologize for my brothers actions as it has embarrassed our entire team. I believe the situation would have been kept under control had it not been for his actions. I feel embarrassed that the fans had to see that. I feel embarrassed that everyone looks badly at my dad for my brothers actions at the speedway. Dad made a mistake and Eddy made a mistake. what's done is done. I think the track needs to start cracking down big time on rough driving. If the track deals with rough driving then certain things would not go much beyond in the pit areas. I feel bad for Ron and Dar of Teo Tyme Recycling who are almost thinking of getting away from the speedway. I hear they have been great sponsors for years and it would be a shame if they left and their drivers left all because of how the speedway is being run. That is my take on the situation.

So now I would like to say that how crappy is that for Shawn Murray to bring out a new car and end up with damage. That has to suck. I spoke with him in the infield afterwards and now he says since it has damage he is just going to race it harder. Go getem Shawn. It's too bad that Chris Burrage ended up puking a rad, his car was running great all night long and I want to congradulate him on his heat win. Bad luck also for Marty. He seems to bide his time and end up getting great finishes but last night was just not his night as a slower car was pushed out of the way causing a pretty bad wreck on the back stretch.

Congrats to MHM Driver Jeff Heighington who had his best ever feature finish with a 2nd place in the charger division. your car is getting better all the time buddy, keep up the good work.

Yes as I read earlier in another post the officials did miss a call in the LLM race when young Brandon Watson was spun and Shepherd who spun him got to keep his spot. Wasn't sure why that call was made but maybe the officals saw it differently then I did.

I was waiting for a response from Dave Doucette's question in the drivers meeting. maybe a " sorry we made a wrong decision, we will try to be more consistant from here on out" would have been the good answer. But the total disrepect by not giving an answer was uncalled for. Dave Doucette is a great guy for apologizing for what he did. Shows class, most drivers would not even bother.

thanks steve it was the only highlight of the night for me. the car was running good and I'm slowly getting it to be a front runner. Good job to your dad as well for his heat win.

I am not Gord, I am just a crew member. I will say that the incident with Brandon was by no means intentional, even though Tim may think differently, Gord does not have a problem with Brandon & is not out to wreck him. I understand there outrage & know that Gord & the rest of the crew expected that we would be going to the rear of the field after the incident. I hope that the fans know that that is not Gord's style of racing. We are so close in this points battle & intentionally spinning Brandon would not help the cause. I know that being yelled at by Tim was not Gord's idea of fun on a Saturday night. The Shepherd crew considers the Watson's good friends & always enjoy when they are at the track, especially Gord who is always over stealing food.

Just curious but does't the front bumper on gordies car look a lot like a OPP push bumper on one of their cruisers. Just kidding you guys. Unfotunate incidents happen every night at every race track.

accidents happen...gotta give it to the kid for running with the big guns...send gordy, baker, mcLeod anywhere and they can run with anyone...
