What REALLY happened at Roth Motorsports? 

Didn't know he was there crew chief, credit to him for being upfront and honest. A lot of teams could do worse when it comes to working on sprintcars. Getting some good scoops and keeping us informed. Excellent stuff TBB

You were 100% right when you said he certainly didn't have to do this interview, my sincere thanks for him sacking up and doing it. It had to be uncomfortable. It sounds to me like they all got a little bit peeved by the Outlaw organization and then acted on emotion and a little irrationally by not considering the consequences of using an illegal car.

I respect his honesty and candidness. This interview couldn’t have been easy. Lesson learned: when using a very old chassis, be sure it conforms to current tech rules. It was legal in 2011, but clearly spec standards changed to make it illegal. I wish him well!

Thank you, both, for the interview. All the best, Dylan. Keep diggin'.

Sandblasting 15 pounds off a 135 pound frame? That’s very hard to believe. WOO teams spend thousands of dollars on titanium bolts to save a pound or two, and they don’t notice 15 pounds on one component? Also very hard to believe!

Dennis Roth. The Jerry Jones of sprint car racing.

4:19 *_"The tubing was the same, but for WHAT EVER REASON they weighed 15 pounds less."_* Roughly speaking .... (just to put this into a laymen's sprint car perspective) We're talking 150 lbs. VS. 135 lbs. *_"Her frame was the same, but for WHAT EVER REASON she went from wearing a self-conscious Amish-Style one piece to a thong string bikini."_* She use to get through Airport Security without a hitch. Now they make her go to the upstairs bathroom to weigh the luggage and have her submit to a full body strip search. *I just can't understand it.*

Ray Lee Goodwin, The 1968 Knoxville Nationals Champion, passed away. Day before yesterday. 09/11/21 He was my Dad.

Problem with people giving their opinion is 99% are not or have never been racers.

Great interview, and all the best Mr Buswell....hope it all works out..

WoO is and has always been selective with who is allowed to run whatever they want. Aaron Reutzel is a class act. I guarantee he's not the only one who has run the identical car.

Great interview. Hard lessons for everyone involved. He seems like a good guy who made a mistake. Hope he gets a second chance.

Great channel mate. Keep it going. Agree traction control will ultimately kill the sport.

Chassis is 15lbs lighter & worked differently but they didn’t know why? 🤦‍♂️ They knew damn well it was not legal anymore & why.

If your not stretching the rules you aren’t winning… the crew chief is always the fall guy

I'd love to see a class break down I recently went to the kings at the mount an very interested in the different classes category's an how an why the track is prepared the way it is an what drivers are looking for

Aaron Reutzel is a top driver and deserves to be in a top car with a good team and car owner - from this interview Roth is not a good owner to drive for

What happened? Why did you cut the interview off like that?

The way I see it once they told you it was illegal because the tubing was to thin should've had someone build another frame using the same measurements with thicker tubing and then cut the old car up

Id be interested in looking at the car thats for sure....someone tried to get an advantage in sprint car racing say it aint so 😂🤣😂🤣. Danny the dudes old white 20 car was about the most innovative sprint car ive ever seen

Wont be long before I start a WOO team with primary ownership of 2-3 teams. Ill be checking in later

So what exactly about the frame did WoO deem illegal?

The spirit of Smokey Yunik lives on ! Jails are full of guys who say... "I DIDN'T DO IT !!!"

All-Star Show @ Lincoln 9/18/21 Zeb Wise's impersonation of Sheldon Haudenschild just keeps getting better & better. *BEAT YOURSELF* is the object of the game. I've never seen a driver so contradict his own name.

Kudos to him for owning it

I heard Aaron is doing just fine running cyber stocks down at the chicka pow bam speedway

Now if Kasey Kahne can get that win! He did good last night though

2:42 Did I hear him right? He's back home in Knoxville, where it will be snowing soon. *SNOWING?* It was 90 degrees today. It's been 90 all week. I had to mow my lawn before The Chiefs game. Long-term forecast predicts 89 to 91 every day through September 21st. Are we talking snow shovel the driveway ? Or snow blower the mirror here?

Back in the 80s I was the car builder and crew chief for Jim Perry Jr #15 supermodified. We race at San Jose speedway and Howard and Bret Kading where racing there at that time. One night Bret was spinning donuts in his mustang in the pit area after the race. There were fans with their family's in the pits visiting the racing teams. I got a hole of a track official to get them to stop Bret before some kid got ran over. They kick Brit out and he couldn't come back I think for the rest of the season. That wasn't my intention I only wanted someone to stop him before someone got hurt.

Roth could be winning if their pride didn't get in the way. Revolving seat Don't feel bad Mate. Better opportunities coming

They made a bad decision and payed the cost. WOO and Dennis Roth had to set an example for others to take notice. It's not like they found some secret way to cheat and were winning a bunch of races. Time to get over it and move on. Toby deserves another crew chief position just as Aaron got another ride.

Feel bad for you young man. Not good on a resume, especially in a small community like sprint car racing.

I really feel for this guy. I don't know him from Adam but I feel WoO definitely shafted him. Keep you head up young sir and enjoy your stay here in the 🇺🇸

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of the Lord.

All Aaron did was spill the beans on his crew

Most race teams push the envelope to the edge you are getting paid to win races not run 20th so they do what they have to do this time they got caught. Move on try not to get caught next time

Don’t hang your head. One of the most esteemed race car drivers of all time was quoted as saying “if you ain’t cheatin, you’re not tryin to win”. And quite frankly, much worse is being done everyday.

hey toby

Who keeps a 10 year old chassis? Hmmm.

0.83 is legal tubing, they used an old chassis w lighter tubing from the mid 2010s, but keep playing the “we didn’t know card”. they literally put a WoO sticker on the car from a different chassis. CHEATING.

Aaron is local to were I live. Hope he and Dylan are successful in their careers. 👍👍🇺🇸🏁

I'm sure it was one of them stupid rule changes 🙄. If your not pushing the limits your not trying hard enough.

So they used a car that they knew was illegal. Yeah that’s cheating.

It said a lot last time chingy Reutzel wrecked nobody helped you guys on the 2 min fix. Painting it and repalcing stickers…cheat, what, who, huh.

listen only to people doing the same job when it comes to opinions then tell everyone else to go fly a kite.

Jason Meyers had a car custom built in house if memory serves me correctly that wasnt the proper size as well. Nothing ever happened to him though. Hey I get it but I look at it like this. Facts arnt being said in full truths here. This ISNT the first time this car has been deemed illegal. Whoever made the decisions KNEW it wasnt legal, KNEW the WoO said No our not running the car so slump or not I guess as he said being a realist and no disrespect to the lad hes a top gun but the biggest FU as he said comes to them from the WoO. Very bad choice of wording lol. Just a crappy situation all around. My question now is Reutzel has owned that car for a while now, how many AsCoC races did he win or championships in same said car(s). They always say its not cheating if ya dont get caught haha. Well hes been caught what pisses me off the most is hes moved on falling in a pile of pig shit coming out smelling like a rose while his former crew chief responsible for preparing his piece he did so well in sets jobless while hes out liven large. I wish this crew chief the very best. He took too hard a rap for his involvement in ti all. Reutzel didnt take hard enough hit and is back in the limelight again already. ok ill shuddup now Im running on and on on a frustrating topic Im prolly making no sense about but have it all sorted out in my fermented mind haha. Best of luck ole boy hope you find something big where you can go out and beat Right rear Reutzel daily with a new driver.

everyone knew that frame was illegal. including the people who painted it and brought it back AFTER they were told to get rid of it. no sympathy here, no sprint car crew chief out there doesn't know what car they're using or how it magically weighs more or less. c'mon man. Naive? whatever.

*FOLLOW-UP* Just saw Dylan Buswell jobbed-on as crew chief for the KCP #18. Congrats on your WoO victory with Geo Scelzi at Lakeside Speedway. It looked deliberate that Ruetzel fed Scelzi a right rear half-way down the straight away. @ the flag stand. Nothing will end a career like an inside right rear to an outside left front. Pittman --> Johnson, Larson --> Daniel

I don't believe for 1 second a 15 pound weight advantage is a plus, I also don't believe a reputable chassis builder would #1risk the safety of the driver, and #2 risk their own reputation as a competitive Chassis builder...IMHO

didnt know you were cheating????? they said dont bring it back, you painted it and brought it back. You know exactly what you did. lol

I thought this was the outlaws? Change the F.N. name!!

So it is obvious that a chassis builder made that car illegally so who ever the chassis builder is the one at fault also

I bet you spent several minutes scratching off the technical sticker and placing it on the frame yourself that’s cheating right there what other team do you know puts on technical stickers on there frame. You cheated and you know you cheated and you will always be known as a cheater
