Emotions getting the best of you is you tossing Hammaker’s bike. Childish and lame. But we can chalk that up to emotions. Seeking him out in the pits well after the race was over is a completely different thing. Even then, many of us would still sympathize if the crash at the start was actually Hammaker’s fault for doing something really dumb. But it wasn’t. It was all Deegan. Insane.

People are driving cars in traffic and going to war at 18 y/o. He's not 12...

"I'm sorry my social media hype once again exceeded my abilities."

He did. They were running 80% against him on his own page, by my estimate.

On the flip side I was proud of how hammaker handled the situation. Stoic, stolid, without being fake. Reminds me of old school (for me) 90s pros. It's good to see some zoomers with their heads on straight.

As opposed to you, a grown man simping for another grown man when he's clearly in the wrong

Sorry, that doesn't cut it. Not only can he not control his emotions but he can't take accountability for his actions either. That read like a sorry, not sorry excuse.

Some people can handle the pressure, I guess he’s not one of them.

DQ’ed for unsportsmanlike conduct would have been a better choice given to the punk. Deegan just got a slap on his wrist with a straw.

Except, it wasn’t a pass was it??

The pass on Schock was aggressive, but not dirty. The outcome sucks for Coty but it's hard racing. But let's look at the rest of the 38's night: Poor qualifying, outside gate in the heat, makes a relatively high risk sweep to the inside and tangles with Hammaker. Hissy fit one is pushing Hammaker's bike to the ground, and shoving the track worker. Then he doubles down by going to the PC pits (where Hammaker's mom owns him). Then in the main, as others have pointed out he clearly goes off track by his own choice and gains positions. Then...

I think it is horseshit that we allow a move like that in our sport. A good block pass is one thing but blatantly TBONING the shit out of someone when you are nowhere near close enough to make it happen just looks dumb imho. If I was Shock I would have dotted "Deegs" eye for him.

I said this yesterday. I'm not a fan of his style at all. The over revving and almost over scrubbing every single bump on the track. I don't see it translating to a 450. Of course, things can change and technique can be corrected. I will say every position counts and every point matters in a championship. My problem with it is he blatantly cut a huge chunk of the track for no reason. He didn't get pushed off track. A couple dudes went down so he just accelerated around the whole mess. He never should have even been behind...

I’ve always liked Deegs, but he acted, and rode like a bitch last night. What he did to Cody really pissed me off because there was absolutely no need for it. He’s having a crappy season because of his own mistakes, he needs to accept that.

Parallel and intersecting are mutually exclusive.

Parallel lines never intersect……

The main difference is that Jett made in by misstake, AND were sorry about it. Deegan on the other hand…

He’s a very good rider, with a POS attitude. What a night he had. Can’t believe the way he acts towards other riders. And the family talk all this God, morals and Christianity bs. Nights like this, really shine how much of a spoilt little brat he is. Talented - yes, grounded - no.

Rewatching the incident. I cant believe he only lost 2 positions. When I saw it originally. I thought he was pushed off the track and got on the gas hard because he could make up time. Which deserved a penalty for each position gained plus one. So like 5 to 7 positions . Copping 2 for it was a bargain. But he wasn’t pushed off. A rider in front of him had slowed down from the contact with guys punted off the track and rather than stay on the track and lose time because of what happened ahead of him...

Like Cream always rises to the top…Turds always sink to the bottom.
