Post race

Some Showdown post race notes……

Ickler- had another stout piece but he pissed off the wrong guy I guess. Brian was bringing the field to the green very slow, very, very slow and he was doing brake checks. About 60 laps before Hornaday wrecked him, he drove up to him under yellow and rubbed his rear quarter for his restart games. Apperently, Hornaday felt he would police Ickler himself….

Trevor- got screwed bad. Nascar called him a lap down even though he never went down a lap. Nascar even admitted with 20 to go that Trevor was wronged but there was nothing they could do at that point. I can’t say it enough, the kid is the future of this sport and I hope everything works out for him.

Mayhew- it’s cool dude, we know you didn’t mean to almost destroy our 2nd car.

Hornaday- a complete weapon, nothing like I expected from a “Big 3” Champion. Hopefully, he was just having a bad night and that’s not a sign of things to come for Truck drivers this season.

Peyton- another great effort without the result to show for it. He can be “super” aggressive on the track at times but I don’t think Saturday was one of those nights. Yes, he bounced off us a couple times and fenced Joey on the last restart but he defiantly deserved to be treated with more respect. Peyton and his guys are good friends of ours and we wish them the best of luck in 2009

Joey- what can you say? He owed us one from Adirondack in ’07. Joe is a great kid and a good friend, we spent a lot of time with him over the rainy weekend and he’s a genuinely good person. That being said, what he did to Peyton was uncalled for and it was so obvious that it was coming that I told Matt to let Joey go get him and we’ll win this thing with 3 to go. His interview was unapologetic and that was not the way to go, he is young and will learn to take the blame for his mistakes, I guess he’s just not ready yet.
