Sure..... Just because A guy gets a Social Security check.....everyone wants to pick on him!
Been around racing a long time, seen good and bad sides to all drivers. one thing i know for sure is a good driver is Human and makes mistakes(none are perfect) So that leaves room for some ugly in all us . I can remember a time in Steve Everharts early years where he moved cars out of the way in a street stock,back with Harry Smith and so on from Hesston. Years ago, But like most people, our lives tend to change,we grow up,start being more respectfull of others and equiptment. some of us hold onto only the bad but some of us start to see the good. Thats what we do as people on common ground . Seen Steve make 3 very bad choices in His 20 years . Larry Wright at bedford ,thunder valley, and yes Gordon at Dog Hollow . Huge mistakes he probobly whishes not to reflect on . As i saw on two ocasions ,we shouldnt even be looking at drivers ,we should be looking at the lack of Speedway officials enforcing thier own rules ...... At bedford and the dog several attempts where made for officials to speak to respective drivers about thier driving skills and NOTHING was done ever. So yes it took a bonehead move both times to resolve issues and it did. The right move ? NOT but the only one that worked both times. Point fingers at the wright people and dont be so Judgemental. Steve could of had 200 wins if he didn't lift and break race after race at Thunder valley or any place he raced in the last ten or so years As a matter of fact , ask anyone , the only way you can win at Thunder is stick your nose in and push. Seen him fall victim to many spin outs and go to rear and come back and win. Not touching a car, so im not quite sure where all your ill feelings come from but ill bet most of its a Grudge. you have a real chip on your shoulder for some reason, and its caused you to lose sight of a rather good driver. And oh yes ! he said a few years ago he would quit at age 50. Was going to race this year out but Imlers had motor sold so he opted out early . He is not barred from any track and could come back tommorw. Maybe with all Gordons money they could put him in a car and he could drive like Andrew. What thats right Andrew doesn't hit anybody , well at least we know everhart wouldnt have to change his driving skills. No matter what people say about him he is who he is but one things for sure, he does have a good heart and would do anything for anybody. The greatest thing ill remember about him is the night he changed a young mans life, one who loves racing so much he flags from his seat,you may have seen him. After an emotional victory lane Steve gave Billy his trophy and changed his life forever. What a heartless , thoughtless , indisspiciable act . Shame on Everhart Is that not how you all see him .
and like said before I would love to see a younger generation Everhart in a car.
