      Kevin never wrecked you on purpose and you know that. Kyle purposely overdrove his car into Kevin at the very end to spin him out from behind. Watch the in car footage from Taylor and Kevin. They both drove so cleanly and had to deal with tons of terrible drivers under steering all over the track.
      It’s fine to screw around and have fun but it sucks when the prize goes to 2 millionaires who dont even care about the prize cars. I know Taylor and Kevin could have used those cars to do epic builds for their YT channels.

    I just wanna say that I think the Kidney layout was a great change of pace for these Crown Vic races. I think using this layout for LeMullets going forward is the way to go, especially if you install some racing curbs on the apex's. Don't forget about the traditional oval format tho. My vote would be to use the Oval format for the Freedom 500 and other races while saving the kidney layout strictly for LeMullets. It would be a great way to distinguish between the two events. Also just want to add that I think this race had a the perfect amount of both good racing and destruction. Please shoot for this style going forward. Makes these races amazing!!

      I was hesitant on the layout because I was afraid of there being to many wrecks on the indent section, but this was the cleanest race they have had yet I think. That being said I would love for Cleetus to buy some MX-5s or something else small and plentiful like Cavaliers or Cobalts so they could try some tighter stuff. Might have to just go to custom FFF cars ( Formula Freedom Factory). Or just use shifter karts. But between Cleetus's crew, the guys and parts at Motion Race Works and Nitto tires, I think they could design and build some nice little custom tube frame spec racer with a mix of riveted and dzus fastened on body panels. Would be even cooler if it took off and they were able to make it into a sell-able kit car wither its for track only or a street version too.

As for Kurt being the type of guy that is an easy hang, i have no clue really. I know many famous people seem to be like this, i always give them some slack because it has to suck to be in the spotlight every second of the day and be judged for each little thing they do. Most people are normal guys that have a few friends that see us do and say silly crap but since they are our friends, they know what we mean and understand where were coming from. These famous people dont get that personal space or freedom so each and every little thing they do gets judged. Kurt might be 100% an ass to some people but to his friends that actually know him, he could be the best guy to hang out with. Either way, it was a fun race and Cleeter gets a ton of credit for the line up he put together and it keeps getting better too!

    Fantastic bro! LOve seeing Kevin having the opportunity to run with a pro NASCAR driver.. right to the last corner. He did so good. How many regular car guys.. talented car guys ever get to show their stuff.. VERY cool!

    That was the best race I've watched in a long time. The best part about the 2.4 is no one getting too serious. No throwing helmets, no one fighting in the pits. Everyone is just having fun. The nitrous was a really cool addition and the lights so you know when they're using it. I will try to get to the freedom factory one of these days. I'm only about an hour and a half away. That looked like so much fun. Awesome. Thanks Cleetus.

    It'd be a good idea to pave (or throw down a concrete slab) the insides of those corners through the chicane. I know this was pretty spontaneous so you really didn't have time to do all that, but if you plan on running the kidney layout next year, (which I personally think the kidney should be the new LeMullets layout) it would be a good idea.

      Exactly. I just commented the same thing. Don’t put new grass, threw some tar on there to make the kidney payout better.

      Red/white curbs would look awesome and make those turns a lot cleaner 🙂

      He said that's the plan on Facebook/Instagram as they were cleaning up after the race.

      He said they were definitely going to run this layout again, so they'll concrete those corners.

    That’s some chicken shit racing on Kurt he knew he couldn’t beat Kevin and took the slime ball route. Good job Kevin

      He just gave a much nicer taste of what Kevin did to Bowman. Kevin hit Bowman so damn hard he obliterated his own front end, tore through Bowman's quarter, AND blew out Bowman's driver rear tire. If you are going to talk shit about the friendly and much nicer nudge Kurt gave to Kevin, can't wait to see what you say about Kevin's HARD hit on Bowman. Unless you are one of those double standards kinda girls...

      @@supra1jzed watch again if you don’t see the problem then sometimes there’s no hope for people. I’m sorry you’re so insecure about yourself you have to call me a girl cause I pointed something out. Spinning someone out the last lap of the race because you can’t win is scummy and the equivalent of a tantrum. There’s a difference between misjudgment and intentionally dumping someone. Have a nice night.
