Huge victory in my book, Cleetus. You''re a rookie that has shot past drivers with many, many years more experience to land in the first tier of competitors. The publicity from that last lap will act as a force multiplier for itself. Get thee to the media, and then be prepared to buy a new door to replace the one sponsors will soon be knockin' down!

@@raynman6466 Who is "you?" In this case, it absolutely mattered how he did during the SECOND race of his life, of this type. He was learning and also showing he can hang with the pros. The winner doesn't always move from the back of the pack, instantly to the front in one shot............that means these people have to fight to keep their place or move up to 1st. You must be very simple or have an ego, and can't see the big picture. All these people commenting are giving Cleetus credit for doing something that few could do with their first event at a professional level sport. I have done many competitions with competitors who range from absolute beginners to sponsored people and pros, all in the same group. One of the guys I took second to in a match was a legend who started that version of the sport when I was born. It was actually the first match of this type that I attended and there were around 50 people in it, but I had been practicing a lot. It absolutely matters how people do during the race, because they learn from it and figure out how to get better with practice. There are usually 16-60+ people in the matches I do, but we have different divisions. People work their way up the list and some get to the top. I did just that in one of the types of matches I do, to where I get friendly crap from the others when I show up to the local match because they know I will give them some stiff competition. Cleetus may have been dead last in this race, but his performance was amazing and I bet he learned a great deal. He may continue to practice and really begin to kick ass, just as he has done in other races.

Don't be pissed off at that. That was down to the wire if I've ever seen a race like that. That was one of THE MOST entertaining races I have ever seen across any form of motorsport, if not the most. You had that first corner line down packed with that almighty dive around the outside of Robby. Hell of a wheelman bud, I'd love to see you race some tin tops in the UK, Australia or New Zealand

I keep watching this video over and over.. just to think that you held off all these guys for a big part of the race is insane to think about.. I know you’re no slouch when it comes to driving but to go into someone else’s sport that fast and dominate that way just shows how good you are behind any steering wheel from drag to oval to drift to dirt to sst that takes a lot of talent and you have it!
