Take the damn blinders off dumb@$$. He's a rolling road hazard

[champ10]

I could care less what kind of person he is. Do I respect him for all of that? Certainly. But when you go top to bottom bottom to top Nonstop, and act like you are in a drifting competition every lap, maybe it's time to slow down and get some car control first. I'm just waiting for one of the leaders to crush him. It's bound to happen sooner or later the way he drives.

you continue to be an idiot...really a pu$$y.  drop the weller from your name because they have class and you do not.  The 2s tries and has gotten much better from what I have scene.  I agree with Mike (3799) come in the pits and tell him how you feel.  Don't be a coward behind the keyboard.  I have met him and he is a nice guy.  Cut him some slack.

I think anyone has the right to drive what they want I just have a hard time with a guy jumping into a 410 for his first ride!
If someone punched Sesco for everytime he caused a problem he would be black and blue!

Sorry to say genius, im not being no coward. The coward is the one who threw punch agter punch into a guy that was STILL IN JIS CAR LAST NIGHT. Its not my fault he thinks hes Steve Kinser at year 2.

Sesco only caused 2 cautions tonight. Man is he improving!

I don't know if it was a carryover of emotions from Friday night, but Saturday Francis Sesco had a bad night, no getting around it. So I guess more keyboard jockeys want to beat him up. Tonight he deserves some criticism, but you guys threatening to throw down, let me know when you are going to try. You have no idea what you are asking for. He wasn't the only car with shall we say steering problems Saturday.mAsk Ralph Spithaler. He got put in the wall hard by another car.

I don't have any problem with Wellerfan23. He is completely correct. Some of you are telling us to cut him some slack because he is a nice guy. Lets be real here. I've talked to him a few times. He does seem genuinely respectful. HOWEVER, he is STILL a hazard regardless of his niceness outside of the cockpit. He has improved. But his improvements are still highly inadequate to be on a track with such fast cars. He improved from greatly bad to very bad. That's still dangerous.

 

When it comes down to it, I don't care how nice of a person he is. He needs to get his driving $hit together before he hurts someone else

Yeah, well he has more bad nights than good ones, and therin lies the problem. You can try and candy coat the situation with your bullshit because he's a "Mercer guy", but at the end of most nights he is costing people money at the least and God forbid, getting someone else (besides Jack Sodeman, Jr.) hurt.

 

I'm sure he's a nice guy, but do "badasses" that punch another driver that is still strapped in their car get a pass because they are Christians? Understand, I could care less if this dude is a Christian, Muslim or worships black magik like Aleister Crawley. He better get a handle on how he approaches his driving, or there won't be a swinging dick in the pits at any area track that will give him the time of day, and he will have come by that honestly.

 

By the way, the probability that Francis Sesco may or may not be able to pummel everyone on this board senseless that bad mouths his driving is completely irrelevant. People have opinions and are free to voice them. The best thing he could do is to prove us wrong.

[The Legend]

The fella sounds like a sprint car kari Gasser .... Anyone have a video ?? And totally agree who gives a flying fuc if he can beat down everyone in the pits ... If he's that tough he should try mma instead of racing lol

[BaconBits]

I have to laugh at these people saying that he's just starting out and that's an excuse for his awful driving. AJ Flick is just starting out, and he manages to hold a line. Brandon Matus was able to keep his nose clean when he first started racing sprint cars. Brandon Spithaler was never the hazard to others that Sesco is. Carl Bowser wasn't a rolling caution flag wating to happen. Sye Lynch has been rather impressive in his limited sprint car (305 and 410) starts and doesn't wreck anybody.

 

Soome folks have "it" and some folks don't. .Sesco doesn't. He's been at it a for a year or two now, and it still isn't clicking. It's cool that he wants to race and all, but srint cars aren't his deal. They're too dangerous for a squirell. He should get into something more his speed to learn how to drive.

I've never seen or heard of the fella but sprint cars are death traps to begin with and not the place for beginners

[Spook]

I thought I heard somewhere that he did or does do some sort of mma thing? could be a silly rumour but I have heard that. I do feel he has improved a little but at the expense of a lot of other drivers.

Spook Josh would know he's a local MMA columnist and knows everyone on the local scene

Isn't it clear, with less than a dozen 410 starts under his belt, that whatever "it" is, A.J. Flick has "it"?

By "it' I mean the knack for being a quality wheelman. Flick is defnitely one of those guys.I mean, he was comeptitive in the stock car when he started out striaght away. AJ will be winning sprint features at Lernerville and Mercer soon, in fact, I'd be surprised if he didn't win one this season.

I've never heard of him fighting or training from any of the folks I know. Doesn't mean it isn't possible.

But teeing off on somebody still strapped into a race car isn't exactly the type of behavior a mixed martial arts cometitor would partake in. I know that much.

Mike, I think you know that incidents are going to happen throughout the night. Just because Spithaler had contact with another car doesn't make what is going on with Sesco alright.  That is just absolutely a horrible example.

 

The other thing about this is, even when contact doesn't occur with Sesco and other cars...drivers are having to take evasive action all over the place trying to get around him.  That first lap of the heat race last night was a disaster, Ruth Jr and Lynch were both on the binders hard twice from the flagstand to turn 2 because each time they tried to pass him he drifted into their lane.  Then the spin later in the heat...then the dash.  But like others are saying, being a nice guy isn't enough, just hope this all gets sorted before someone ends up hurt.

[Hotrod98]

Last night at Mercer, Sesco's wing falls down and he was still trying to race..... And people defend him as not reckless? Hmmmm..... He has wrecked to many people already this year. The sport is expensive enough, don't need someone on the track causing damage to people's equipment.
