When your name is coming out of Dale Jr.'s mouth on the situation you know you must be doing something right. Hickory did you dirty... No... The promotor did you dirty and you had every right to call him out on it the way you did. Real class act to ask fans to keep coming out to the track even after all that. Keep being genuine and doing what you do.
You handled the situation the way a professional would regardless of the outcome. Now get it together I know you’re trying well you for your supporters sponsor and your team members. You can do it you have a strong support group. Breathe step back take a hard look at your car and get back to the front. I saw your dads car at the swain (shop/office) back in the day. Positive vibes you got this.
I always appreciate you honest communication with your viewers of your channel. And way to "do what you said you were going to do".
1. White wheels 100% 2. Thank you for showing the side of short track racing that nobody gets to see! I have all the respect in the world for you guys because you keep it honest and real. Thank you for everything you do!

Thanks for the motivational words! You guys rock!
this really is a community of viewers with an honest interest in what happens with you and your team on and around the track. We got an honest snapshot in a day of the life of and it showed the true struggles you experience that we as the fans would never even know what occurs on the other side of the grand stands. Even better you were able to have a positive "influence" because you do have the balls to put it out there for us to view. Who knows if the track promoter would have even been willing to discuss the events of last weekend had you not had the viewer and subscribers you bring to the table. I've got to believe that track in particular has in fact sold more tickets because of this vlog.
Keep on keepin on, looking forward to getting out there to see the racing in person soon.

Loved the vlog video Landon. You are the man as you handled this with grace, honesty, and not afraid to speak the truth. Glad you’re going back as the fans need you there. You have an amazing group of sponsors. You all need to consider coming to Kingsport to run a race or 2. Best of luck Landon. I’m still going to do my best to visit Hickory for the first time later in the season. Don’t stop believing in yourself as you got an awesome support system around you.

I’m going to add to the wheel color debate. I would say a shade of the blue that is on the car, that would be a over the top 1st class look!!!
I am new to your channel. I found it when the chassis cost breakdown video was recommended. So as a non local motorsports fan, I don't have a horse in the race. Modern motorsports in general feel way less authentic than when I was a kid. Tracks and governing bodies seem to favor entertainment and marketability over fairness (F1 to Nascar are great recent examples). It's frustrating from my fan perspective too, but I didn't build a car and haul it down there only to be parked. I wish you the best of luck because you seem dedicated; I'm glad I don't have to do business and have my fate decided by people who run their events like a carnival game of chance rather than a competition.

Your openess and honesty is WHY I subbed. I know nothing about racing. But I find it facinating (the background stuff). I do not like seeing a scenario and being left iwth a ton of questions. Like some who shot JR crap. So, thank you. I am sorry you had to deal with thedrama, but the track should have understood your position. As a former LEO they would not like me arresting them and NOT reading them their Miranda. Citing " I said it to someone before, you should know".
That car looks so good that I’d take either

Was part of the resolution that you can buy scuffs for the second feature if you don’t make 20 laps. White wheels. The black look better sitting still. But the white make your car stand out much better on Flo racing.

Man, you are a credit to any Race Track. The way you have handled this ridiculous situation is admirable. The track rule is really stupid and although I can understand the reason for it being in place, believe the rule needs to revisited. Why? Take your own case last weekend. You didn't get to finish the race, so had no chance of gaining any front end points. Had you have competed in the second race you would have had a possible small advantage over, say, the winner of race #1 because of the new tires, however you still would have been at a points disadvantage. You would therefore be behind in points, but no where near as far as you currently are. Stupid rules kill Racing.
