Southern Dirt Track Rivalry - The Ballad of Benji Knight and Jonathan Hinson

Спорт

There aren't many things that get better than a good ol' Southern dirt track rivalry. Take a look back at the last couple weeks here in the Carolinas as Jonathan Hinson and Benji Knight go head-to-head both on and off the track.

    The officials at Lancaster should’ve put a stop to that before it ever even got that bad. They let so much shady crap happen and then get mad when somebody lets the other party have it.

    Well I agree on the comment about going back out on the track, however the tracks and promoters bear some responsibility in this, from my understanding this deal didn’t start at Carolina a couple of weeks before. They should have laid down the law before that race At Lancaster to let both of them know that this kind of shenanigans would not be tolerated. Usually in those peeing matches the only winners is the promoters who gets a whole lot of drama to sell tickets. Quite frankly that’s why and how these things get out of hand, tear up other people’s race cars and the potential for serious injury. So when are these promoters going to get some guts and actually lay down the law and punishment to everyone involved?

    Once I started racing Super Late models, I quit racing in the Carolinas all together because of the type of drivers that race there. Laurens is one of the worst. They don't want to race, they just want to play dirty games and fight. Plus the money pay out isn't worth it. they get mad because they cant run with you so there mentality is to tear your car up. These are the types of people who will stay in the same lower class for years and brag about how good they are but still will never move up and prove they are a driver. They will always brag of how good they are on that one track but still yet they wont go anywhere else that has real cars and real clean racing because they know they cant run with them unless they run dirty. They will always be that guy that stays in the bomber class or the supper stock, or whatever your local track calls that class but walk around like they are the next best thing. and then there is that pit crew that has to wait until they are massed together(like in high school for attention) before they will even confront you only to wait for a track official to get in the way to make it look like they are being held back. they only do it because they know the fans are watching and it makes them look tough. real tracks that promote good racing would have had the police on standby to escort both these hooligans off the property and trespassed. there are a lot of drivers that will pass on races in the Carolina's because of this type of behavior and it is helping the sport die out in the local areas. its sad....I remember driving almost 6 to 7 hours to tracks before just to find good racing to avoid this type of mess. this type of behavior is why its so hard to get the Lucas Oil Dirt series venue. Because its not worth their time to go to a track that is just going to try and tear their cars up in a almost non paying event. All of this stuff plays a factor when bidding to get a promotional event with the big series and the more this type of behavior gets promoted or glorified, the more your chances diminish on getting an event that people really want to see.

    I've raced street stocks and ministocks for several years, so I can speak from experience. Shit happens on the track. When your on the receiving end of someone making contact with you, you will 95% of the time think it's intentional. And I was no exception to thinking it was intentional. But I can tell you that when your driving these cars as hard as possible on the edge, shit will happen out there and contact will be made. The good drivers are the ones who can realize this and put it behind them, not lose control of their emotions and getting themselves into a game of cat and mouse. Not worth it. In regards to this rivalry here, the blue car held on to that grudge for way too long. And what made him look even worse was on the restarts, he would charge into turn 1 and slide up and door the black car, and then the black car would pull away and gap him. Then another caution comes out and blue car does same thing on next restart. Makes him look pathetic because he can't run with him, but every restart he would attempt to door him again and again. Makes him look weak imo.

    True the black car washed up into him the first race of this video where he passed him. But imo, the blue car driver isnt any better. He held onto this grudge for far too long. I mean he ripped the bumper and fenders off his car in both of these races. There is a reason these guys cars look the way they do, it's either a lack of talent, lack of emotional toughness, or they just don't give a shit. And that's just the reality off it. Watch the top series of dirt track racing, you don't often seen any sort of retaliation. If they do its one and done. They conduct themselves with a little more integrity and class.

    This is *GREAT* racing. This is what *NASCAR* and *F1* should be all about. Real racing is boring (especially since they added Hans devices and soft walls). If every Nascar Cup race had drivers trying to murder each other driving in all directions on the track until only 1 driver was left alive, it would be the most popular sport of all time. These two should go down in racing history as the greatest two stock car drivers in the history of earth.

Then Brandi comes out on the front stretch and looks lost as kid in the woods!🤔🤔🙄🙄. He did the right thing though as a owner and promoter. In reality they both should have been DQ and banned for the rest of the season and or put on track probation for 2021. ✌️✌️🙄🙄 What I want to know is who is supposed to govern Brandy when he races being that he is the”Track Owner-Promoter”. Because over the past few years Brandy has done some of the same BS with Timbo Mangum. I know it’s a “Dirt Track” but this place next a extreme makeover. Concessions are very clean considering it’s a dirt track. The bathrooms are a freakin joke absolutely nasty unhealthy period. The health department or some county agency with jurisdiction needs to tell him to clean the RR or we will shut the track down until it’s meets protocol.
