Man what an unreal feeling winning the first night of the National Open at the grove!! Speechless for @indyraceparts getting their first outlaw win along with mine and really wishing Betsy was here with us! Thank you Brandon and @parker_pm9 for the hard work!.

How about instead of fire extinguishers we hire a full time world of outlaw safety crew? Maybe instead of making the teams pay for safety improvements on the race cars we stop going to unsafe racetracks?.
By the beginning of the 2023 season, an on-board Fire Suppression System will be mandatory for all #WoOSprint competitors. The official SFI 17.3 specification is expected to be finalized by early summer. 👇 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦 👇.

It’s been an incredible month for me. won an all star race, podium at cappi, 11th at 360 nationals and 10th at 410. Leaps and bounds from where I was last year as a driver and how far the @indyraceparts team has come. Thank you Bernie, Betsy, Craig, rod, Brando and Lucas!.

Hey superior powder, there’s plenty of sprint cars and trailers for sale, you can start your own team and dress them however you’d like😽.
@WorldofOutlaws @GioScelzi @KcpRacing That’s ridiculous! I’m sorry but they look like a C class team. Have to wonder what corrupt WoO’s intentions are with this nonsense.

I wonder if when they hire people to work in airports they say, “Ok whenever we need something announced, we want you to mumble, talk extremely close to the microphone, and most importantly talk so fast that no one in the entire terminal can understand a word you’re saying”.
