I just heard from Ennis that RJ Sledge's car got bent up a little. Seems somebody else was driving it and locked 'em up 1st round. Nobody hurt.

Nolan Grier was driving it, and Nolan is a very good driver. I didn't see anyone calling Jeff Teuton or Dick Lux a dumbass when they crashed last month, maybe do with a little less judgment

Just met Nolan and RJ in San Antonio. Hope he's ok and the car can be fixed. Beautiful Fairlane.

Chad
Why is it always the good drivers that crash after the strip from hard braking????? Nolan must not be that good of a driver, or he would not have crashed the car. Anybody that crashes his car at the strip from hard braking is a dumbass, no exceptions. Untill somebody gets hurt real bad or killed this type of racing will be ok,what a shame. Hammer |

Yeah, one time I painted my calipers and coated the front rotors with overspray and the following weekend darn near changed lanes at the finish line 4th rd. Was it dumbA@$ driving? No, but maybe a dumbA@$ trying to paint LOL. Hope everything can be fixed and glad the driver is ok.

I was actually at the finish line when Nolan crashed. Ive seen guys hit the breaks WAY harder than that and end up fine, including myself. It looked like one of the back tires blew out. Nolan IS a good driver, and anyone that thinks different doesnt pay very much attention to Stock Eliminator. The problem wasnt how he way racing...it was where. The Texas Motorplex isnt called the Murderplex for no reason. It changes from asphalt to concrete, and the concrete will eat up your tires if you hit the breaks to hard there. There have been a few GOOD drivers that have crashed at that track. Instead of being hard on Nolan, maybe we should be doing something about that track.

"It changes from asphalt to concrete"
Other way around, it changes from concrete to asphalt at the finish line.
