Landon Huffman blasts CARS Tour after terrible Wake County race

I might as well go on record here: I do not find the zMAX CARS Tour worthy of the hype, which can be easily generated by its racing celebrity owners despite the racing product being consistently unwatchable.

I love short-track late model racing. I would watch it pretty much anywhere, and I have watched probably a dozen CARS Tour races hoping they’re going to be great before giving up. The (relatively) high profile of the series has created so much thirst around it, and what all that has led to is fields packed full of moronic drivers trying to prove something. I don’t think I’ve watched a single event that didn’t end hours late because of endless cautions.

But last weekend’s CARS Tour race at Wake County Speedway — which I did not watch — sounds like it was on another level entirely. Basically, take the normal out-of-their-minds CARS Tour drivers and throw in the series utterly bungling the fuel requirements of the event, and you get this generational tirade from Landon Huffman, who won the race.
