I am an avid race fan, I attend everyweekend with the exception of a weekend or two out of the race season. I have to say that the attempt Troy Medley made,which was obviously to take him out, on the black #7 car was definitely a succes! I bring my kids out everyweekend to watch fun filled evening of racing, but the shinanigan stunt that he pulled Saturday night in the heat race was uncalled for. The track was bad for everyone except maybe the Late Models. His only obvious way to get around the #7 car was to take him out. It was more that obvious, especially when he drives right into him and before that he was bumping him from behind.

Then to top it all off, he stands on top of his 'car door' and proceeds to yell at the other driver and cuss at him, all while my kids are right there watching all of this! I am apauled that not one of the three officials did one thing to stop him, then he had time to get down, walk over to the #7 car, lean over and yell at him right in his face! Again, I am apauled that, yet again, not one of the three officials said anything to him or attempted to stop him from doing so. Finally, another official, who was not standing there comes from somewhere else and gets him to back off.

I mean really, how 'unproffesional' are you to get out of your car and yell at someone after YOU just took him out!! Then, it is a family event, you are cussing him out right in front of all of the fans, really, there were children there! To top off the night, the black #7 car was out for the rest of the night and Troy Medley #62, was back in the feature. That definitely should not have been allowed, you aren't supposed to use your race car as a means to get someone out of the way simply because you can't drive around them. To sweeten the deal for the feature, #62 was bumping others that were 'in his way' and at one point he was up under there rear bumper, why would that be?? GO AROUND THEM??

I am disapointed with the Officials and the track owners, some body should have not let that happen. This is the first time I have seen this happen, any other time there are officials on the track making sure this does not happen. So why not Saturday night? That is what I want to know and I think there should be a ramification for his actions that night. If not, why should any other driver be worried about getting in trouble? I would say it is now 'fair game' to handle things your way on the track, right?
 
Troy is a top notch Driver, it was a racing accident because a top notch driver knows how to stuff one in the wall without out tearing there car up..... also the fans love seeing this kind of stuff going on, they go home and tell there neighbors they went to the fights and a race broke out or something to that order : )

Oh and this post was prolly made by the driver of #7 or one of his pit crew and you should talk to the other driver involved rather then bash him on here
 
Troy is a hell of a driver and races people the same way they race him... Who was in the 7 car?
 
The 7 car was out of control, he might have been drunk!! He hit quite a few cars before the crash. The track was good and fast so lets not blame 7 non drivin on track conditions.

I am related to the driver of the 7 car. He did hit Naeger, it was not intentional. The only time, that I remember, was when the 327 car drove up on his car. That is racing though, when you think you have passed someone coming out of a turn on the bottom most drivers go up. The 7 car didn't try to retaliate, he continued to race. He also didn't look anymore drunk than any other driver out there, they were all sliding up to the top in going through turns 2 and 3. Naeger has nothing to do with any of this, if he feels that the 7 car hit him purposely I am sorry and I can tell that he did not.

If Medley wasn't trying to take out the 7 car then why didn't he drop down to the bottom of the track and coast on by? Instead he stayed up top, bounced off of the 7 car, the 4 car and the 12 car. He was ramming the 7 car in the *** and driving his car up under the 7 car's bumper, why is that? Oh yeah, to try and spin him. That tactic didn't work so he went to try and side slam him and run, obviously that didn't work because he tore up his car in the process. Anyone who is out there week in and week out, year after year can look at the pictures and tell you that it was Medley's fault. How else can you explain the 62 car under the 7 car? If you drive into someone that isn't going to let you push them, you are gonna end up in that position.. As far as I55fan01s' comment about the officials, she is exactly correct. The pictures do prove her point, you see Medley making a fool of himself and the officials doing nothing. There is even a picture that shows Medley's arm in the 7 car and there is no official around. Oh wait, he is on the other side a few feet away watching.. Wow, go Allied and I-55. I know there are drivers that have gotten thrown out, fined, or penalized in some way for much much less. So how is it nothing happened Saturday night? I would also like to know..

As far as the condition of the track, that is personal opinion. Some liked it and some did not
 
Top notch drivers don't intentionally put people in the wall for driving.. I know a Top Notch driver that only does that when another non driven fool tries to pull that on him. The 7 car wasn't ever in a position to knock Medley around, so how was Medley driving him the same way as the 7 car? Medley was never in front of him. Did you watch the feature? He was running his nose up one of the cars' *** end during the feature because he could not get around him up top. Sometimes we all have to go DOWN, time to learn to drive on the bottom maybe?

And again, they were all over the track, they were all sliding up going into the initial turns. The 7 car has been out there enough this season for everyone to that he isn't out there to muck up anyones' car or his for that matter, he hasn't hit or caused any wrecks and he has avoided every wreck in front of him. He has his car under control. You have a slimy track at the bottom and mud balls at the top, those are not exactly great track conditions. It was definitely a good fast track for the Late Models, not so bad for Modified, although one driver wouldn't agree.

Regardless, there is no reason for anyone to take someone out, drive around.. Isn't that the name of racing?? Yes, accidents happen, this was not an accident.

How does this person know its a she??? I smell someone posting stuff under different nics
 
Medley has always been an Allied Golden boy. Their actions and Jimmy's pictures sure don't do anything to help their reputation. They are becoming more and more of a joke.
 
Top Notch driver? I do have to say I've never seen Medley act a fool like that before, however, the 7 car has only been out on the track a handful of times. He's new and does a decent job. He doesn't spin and I watched that whole heat race and he never got into Medley one time. He did get into Naeger but it didn't look intentional. It looked like the 7 was having a tough time with the car like it was pushing or something. Medley drove up his azz at least 3 times that I saw. Then Medley thought he was going to bump the 7 up in the wall to get him out of his way and being a moron got himself tangled up and took them both out! That was the most dangerous spot you could wreck someone!! Then to top it off Medley (who caused the whole thing) is standing on top of his car with his scrawny self acting like a cave man going nuts....all the while Allied watches. Then he gets in the 7s car with him screaming some more. Then the driver of the 7 car gets out and Medley screams at him some more. Good ole Allied, just standing by not doing a thing! There have been MANY drivers kicked out and suspended for WAY less than that crap, but they let Medley run the feature?! Really? If I were #7 I would be taking my car to MONTGOMERY COUNTY for future races (if they race your class). The payout is way better from what I hear and I55 has already lost several drivers to the track. Show them you don't have to spend your money at their track if they aren't willing to remedy situations like that. Complete BS!
 
racin90 - I was assuming it is a she because the person brings there kids out. I have been coming to the track for a long time, I am a girl and I bring my kids to the track. And, generally, men don't complain about people cussing in front of there kids.
 
Aside from being a poor boy, THIS is why I can't race! If I were Danny lohman I woulda buried my helmet in medleys ****hole. I don't care who you are, NOBODY has the right to stick their head in another persons race car unwelcome. Driver crew man official it doesn't matter.
 
Totally true! Car 7, Dan Lohman, should have done that. Unfortunately he is, for the most part, a passive guy. Things happen, wrecks happen for that matter, and fights break out. You shouldn't act like that if you cause the wreck intentionally.

As far as Medley being a golden boy, that was MORE than obvious Saturday night. The president of Allied stood by him for quite a long time after the wreck, why would that be? Oh yeah, like you said, golden boy of Allied.
 
Ill say this and ill let it be from here. If Carl Springer still ran allied, this stuff wouldn't happen weekly at both allied tracks.

Troy Medley is as clean racing as anyone at the track, if he punted somebody they probably had it coming way before he even did it..and for the record the 327 car drove up on the 36 car, not the 7. But it was a just racing deal. (i had a pretty good view) IMO the 7 car did seem kind-of erratic considering he pretty much jumped the start once and caused a "no-green" on a restart bcuz he wouldnt file in as well as him hitting multiple cars..maybe u should buy the video and watch the race, seems like you missed some stuff. jus sayn
 
I wish everybody had a chance to drive a racecar under different track conditions! I don't care how many years you been drivin or how good you are. When track conditions are off its hard to wheel the car and know which way its going to go!

I think most of you are missing the point. driving and track conditions are one thing, but the way this guy acted afterwards and for the officials to do NOTHING is what the problem is. Yes every track has their GOLDEN BOY but sometimes management needs to put him in check, it will be hard to discipline someone else next week when you let this slide.
 
Yes I totaly agree! What happened to "IF YOU GET OUT OF YOUR RACECAR ON THE TRACK YOU ARE DONE FOR THE NIGHT"!!!
