Really classy interview in victory lane cussing up a storm and challenging people to come fight him in the pits. Looks like he is just as bad as his uncle.

Total lack of class on Mr. Flinner's part, getting to be a thing with him in victory lane interviews.

Hey, we finally found something we agree about.

 

Colton was fine until he started winning regularly, John was the same way. I wonder how long it will be until Colton starts with the single finger salute like his uncle. Really classless, especially when you consider he had his child in victory lane.

This proves that old adage that "The nut doesn't roll too far from the tree" in some family situations.

Thats interesting, when he wins at Port Royal he sounds like a decent guy when they interview him. Always thanking ppl for getting him to where he is in his racing career, stuff like that.

Thats all he would do to Michael on the track was flip him off.  Then they come flying over to Michaels pit, and say he is just racing people the way people have been racing him, and is going to show racers who is boss. 

The incident was clearly his fault.  He just kept pushing Norris down on the back stretch, until there was no more room to push.  

Then yells at someone for cussing in front of his child, and turns around with that classless interview.  

Clearly another case of someone being "Flinnerized"

Easy way to handle this. Shut off the mic, end the interview, tell him to leave and don't come back. This won't be the last time he causes trouble.

The thing that made me chuckle, and I'm paraphrasing, was when he said, "My name is what it is, if you don't like it, I don't give a sh!t". Cutting a vulgar, WWE  style victory lane interview appeals to the lowest common denominator of fans. Maybe that's what he was going for, who knows.

Never liked John because of his mouth and swagger. His uncle could never win a favorite driver trophy. Colton is starting to put some good runs together, why he has to show the classless side of family heritage is beyond me. John was an ass, keep it up and you'll have more and more people booing you to.

To his credit, young Mr. Flinner did apologize on Facebook for his performance.  Let's see if he can keep his head straight the next time he is interviewed.

The other thing about John was that he didn't care who he drove through, or injured. If he couldn't pass someone, he'd take them out. As long as John Johnson is writing the checks the Flinners will have more car than brains, and actual driving ability, and there's no way around that.

My dad drove late models in the early 70's at North Hills, Butler, Mercer, Blanket Hill, and occasionally Tri City. We won the last late model track championship at Blanket Hill.
