Maybe he didn't follow the playbook? Always hard to detect what goes on behind the scenes...Massey obviously a good driver but then so is Dixon who's been sitting. It's all about $$$$ and egos which is why I don't even watch the fuel cars, zip right through the DVR to the next round of PS.

The internet buzz is some sort of inappropriate comment made at the banquet.

Think Yellow Bullet needs a moderator like Ken for a while, way too many ignorant keyboard jocks for my taste...guess you'll be able to tell a lot if another team picks Massey up. Personally, it took me a few years to halfway like Dixon after his profanity when he won his first Nationals so guess I'm pretty staid.

The only thing that ticked me off is on the TV coverage it was all about the Funny car body flying off,replayed at least 12 times then I had to watch some cry baby get his hands bandaged(then small band aids put on his hands so he could pick the trophy up)BUT then they don't show pro stock through the burn out stages etc like the fuel turds.I miss Steve Evans and the good old days.

Open your mouth, lose your job. Bosses are not interested in your opinions, and they are always right too.

Now on Antron, he is an excellent guy and a great ambassador to our sport. Glad he won the title. It can only help grow us.

Antron won the Championship, and made history.But the Sarge tried to steal the moment so he could get another Championship for himself.Greedy _ _ _!!

I'll respectfully disagree with the second sentence of this statement. Personally I'm glad Antron won the championship. To say Schumacher was greedy in trying to win the race and the championship I feel is unfair and possibly disrepectful. It's the nature of the sport and the absolute foundation of fair competition to do your honest best to win.....anything less could be considered throwing a race. If Schumacher had won, well "that's racing" as the saying goes. My hat's off to both drivers for doing their best to win.

I'm reasonably sure there are some who would immediately accuse Schumacher of throwing the race for Antron if he hadn't given his all. Geeze.

Then we get to "Sarge"!
It's an insult to everybody that has put their life on the line for our nation to insinuate that a "non-server" deserves the title "Sarge" in relation to the United States Army!

Always annoyed me also.

Re: Top Fuel Driver Massey Dumped By Schumacher
 
I've always thought that as a goodwill ambassador and role-model for "MY" Army, Tony Schumacher has done an outstanding job. His use of the nickname "Sarge" and having Sergeant's stripes on his race car never bothered me at all, because I know how much he's done for the U.S. Army, and they were conferred on him by someone with a lot more rank than I ever had. It might be a different story if he asked everyone to call him Sergeant Schumacher, which he never has. And there are at least a few Soldiers who I made sure understood that you don't call a Sergeant of any rank "Sarge"!:D

I agree with Koski, it is an insult to those of us that earned the stripes I got mine while vacationing in sunny Cambodia

I'm pretty sure that he worked with a few teams either on clutches or engines before he became a driver, from what I seem to remember...

When I saw this thread I though, meh, who cares? Then I come back and see it's on the third page???
OK, got to see what's going on.....yeah, just as I thought, some prima dona farted and a couple people are talking about it...with a whole lot more screaming WHO CARES!

Add me to the list of WHO F%^&ING CARES!!!

I've always hated prima dona's that waltz in and make a big show of being the driver and take all the credit. No better than a hollywood attention *****. F&*# 'EM ALL!

Obviously the dues he paid weren't enough for Schumacher.

Re: Top Fuel Driver Massey Dumped By Schumacher
 
A source most of us know confirmed that Massey brought his own cooler to the banquet and got drunk then made a nasty slur about Antron which cleared the rest of his crew away from the table before Massey went storming out himself.

He had to know there'd be repercussions.

It was a career killed i'd think. They can plug any monkey into the seat but they need to interact with the team and sponsors.

Has any Sportsman driver even acted up like that and the banquet and got tossed?

Re: Top Fuel Driver Massey Dumped By Schumacher
 
When we ran IHRA Spencer Massey was just a good old boy from texas who love to race and could drive his ***** off . He paid his dues and made it to the big time show in NHRA. Every body messes up sometime , give him a break and forget about it .

He is young and is learning a life lesson. Who here has never made a mistake ? And who here really know what happened ? My guess is none of us.

Lets show him who we really are and argue over bogus horsepower or who has the fastest O stocker . We will show him how perfect we are and how bad he is

Yeah But if we gave all the Pros nicknames that they deserve. We'd have several guys named Whiner, Cryer, Princess, Rich Boy, A Hole, and Bitch.
