Mechanic says “ the linkage bolt snapped and it’s kinda binded in there “ Announcer says “ I know you wouldn’t put him out there on a unsafe machine” meanwhile it’s on the most toughest and roughest sx track sense Daytona was on the schedule and still is the roughest and toughest today lol. That’s absolutely badass, todays racers would pull themselves off the starting gate for an issue like mistakenly wearing non matching gloves, let alone goin threw those massive brakin bumps/ whoops and then having too seat bounce as hard as they can to make a multiple triples on the track for 20 laps and knowing at any moment, there’s a solid chance of goin over the bars or an attempt too do a front flip. True OG 🤘🫡

Stantons confidence was def rattled not knowing if that linkage bolt would hold or not. Cant say I blame him. I guess Stanton had said to Kiedrowski on the line "if I dont start, you'd better win this"

Who the hell is Kru-dow-ski?

To anyone who remembers this race, watch the 125 heat races and watch the Brian deegan interview. Art eckman even said what a great kid cause he was so soft spoken. A few years later I see spikes all over him. I was like wtf

The Beast was Flashy.
