One of the most irresponsible things I've ever seen.

Driver and spectators at risk.

I watched the video too about 5 times, from a couple different angles.

Never bent the throttle hard, got out of it pretty quick once it made some happy sounds and a little tire smoke.

Everyone was on the curb or behind it, a clear shot and no one standing where Jordan was pointed.

And, the team was there at the sponsors leisure. Thats a longstanding relationship where a little tire smoke in reasonably controlled conditions, in front of a crowd who likely understands motorsports and to stay back, is fine in my opinion.

so....

Been there, done that on a blown mini and we got the same comments--idiots, unsafe, jackasses, etc. Not quite as much smoke, but them's bigger tires--lol! JW

As far as being the most irresponsible thing I've ever seen this was not even close. A couple of years ago at Bowling Green the track officials knowingly allowed a Super Stock or a Pro Stock make a pass with broken steering. The officials had to kick the front tires back and forth to get the tractor hooked to the sled and then allowed him to make a full pass. Most irresponsible thing I have ever seen that should have NEVER happened.

I’ve seen that happen several times, including once at Louisville. What’s so bad about that?

I know Larry Phillips did it at Bowling Green a few years back. With the front end in the air, why would you need steering? You still have the independent brakes like you would on a normal run... Are we going to require all passes be made with the front end on the ground?

I understand where everyone thinks that the front wheels are in the air the entire run analogy but what happens when the front end has a "bobble" or bangs the wheelie bars and the front end comes down with no driver control? The tractor can go 90 degrees before anyone knows what has happened and we have either rolled a tractor, run over a flagman or if it is somewhere other than a BG where the fans are within 10 ft of the track. Just like Carl Atley was in the front two rows at NFMS and his steering was working when his run started.

I am torn on the subject bc I have seen videos where an seasoned veteran Pro Mod/Stock driver did a burn out at a store open house for spectators and had a part failure and a lot of people got hurt.

It is a fine line where fun stops and irresponsibility begins.

Not judging, just saying.

If your that uptight your in the wrong sport.. He had great control of it and never even really got into it! Pretty cool for crowd to see and it was an interesting explanation of their machine afterward.

That was neat to see. And obviously the folks there first hand certainly thought so, too.

Check it out from about 3.10mins.This is how you do it....might want to sharpen them tyres again before yer next pull, could have lost the edge on them!
