Keep up the great work so people can see what a good husband, father and American looks like.

    Damn this video hit me hard. Lost my dad in 2015 to parkinson's brought on by agent orange poisoning. I lost a big piece of my heart when the old man died. He was my fishing buddy, my best friend, and the one I went to when I needed the hard truth. I went through hell since then. 7 months clean from meth addiction. I love watching you Billy, and tommy in the og garage. You remind me a lot of my pops. Hard boiled, no bullshit, but have a big heart. Keep being you. You and your family are an inspiration.

      This was my first thought also but I backed the video up to the start and you can see all of Bills thumb on top on the shift handle. The nitrous button on his shifter is on the left side of the handle and when he pushes the button manually you can’t see his thumb. I even listened to the sound of the motor at launch at it was no different than his previous passes earlier in the video. When the rear end let go you can hear a little engine flare and then he immediately lets off. This was 100% the kids night to win and Bill was not suppose to win.

    What a class act. I have so much respect for you Mr Bill. The thing about that situation that you found yourself in that night is that we all know you would have done it exactly the same without any cameras around. You are a good person. 🍻💚

    Divine intervention. You didn’t have to make that decision Bill, which like you, we all knew regardless of what you did it was Jake’s day to be back on top! Happy Father’s Day sir. You know him and his family(especially his Dad) were on cloud 9 seeing him win Cincy Street Nights

      I was too. I wanted that for him more than I can explain. I’ve been in many finals in my lifetime, and good Lord willing I’ll be in a few more. Losing this one didn’t bother me a bit
