Which one did he get the penalty on?
But yes, Mr Matthews has certainly been "enthusiastic" in the last few weeks.
As was Mr. Urlin at one point, when he gave 56-Pyle his "welcome to Delaware" mesaage" in the closing laps.
Kennedy also got a little rambunctious as well. (Jesse tried to shoot up the middle on a restart...almost got messy.)
Its funny, for all the cautions we took in the Partsource 142, I actually thought last night was a rougher race.
And another thing...what's up with Sheridan?
Is he wussing out in his old age or does he really not have enough to get around Robblee? If I didn't know better, I'd say it looked like he was guarding Robblee's back rather than trying to beat him.

NOTES:
-Vanderwyst was there but not a factor. He was having difficulty all night and looked like he might not have been running on all 8.Heard a rumor lastnight , that Pistol Pete had a "Strait Rail Car" out there lastnight just testing it out. That was the reason he was not a factor in the race, Delaware would not let him let it loose out there!!
The 15 the 4 take your pick there are alot more then just them.
The total disrespect for there and others equipment blows me away.
We have some of the best drivers and crews around and for some reason a large portion of them drive life a pissed off teenager.
I personally don't think the majority of LM drivers are rough at Delaware. I do think the #15, Matthews gets a bad rap. He sure did Friday night. He was taken out by the same driver who took #56 Pyle out. There are a few of the "upper echelon" of LM drivers that if they can't get around you in 2 laps will take you out. Hopefully this will come to an end shortly. What we have at Delaware this year is amazing. I don't know of any other weekly track that had its top divison expand by almost double on a regaular basis. Let's all try not to screw this up. This is great.
By the way, did anybody realize the #56 Robby Pyle car was the Howe Enterprises "house car" with Chas Howe (son of Ed Howe and who now runs Howe Enterprises) was in the pits as crewchief and spotter). I'm not sure why they showed up but I hope they come back. Reminded me of days when Ed Howe would show up at Delaware unexpectedly.
