First, I want to congratulate Scott Thomas on winning his first late model feature at Berlin. Nobody deserves it better than Scott. He not only is a first-class driver, but a first-class person as well. Scott is a true ambassador for stock car racing, representing the sport, Berlin and his sponsors in a professional manner. Everyone driver could take a lesson from Scott on how to treat fans and promote your sponsors. It’s a great feeling to see good things happen to good people. And Scott is good people. He not only shared his victory with his family but his long time crew chief Rob Sloma as well; as the two of them took a victory lap with the checkered flag, the “old school” way with Rob riding with Scott. Plus he took victory lane photos with some of his fans sharing the moment in unselfish manner.
A class move by a class person.
The legendary short track driver, Dick Trickle has often stated, “To finish first, you must first finish”. Make no mistake, Scott earned his win. Scott deserved this win.
While Scott celebrated, Tom limped home with a wrecked race car.
He was dumped.
Taken out.
Drove through.
However, you want to call it, he was wrecked from behind coming to the checkers by Ross Meeuwsen. Ross never attempted to pass. Ross never attempted to lift. He flat took him out. End of story.
A classless move by a classless person.
Yes, Ross is a “hard-charger”. But Ross cannot control his race car. In four weeks of racing this year at Berlin he has spun his car three times. In the past two seasons he has not competed the full year at Berlin, sitting out suspensions for rules infractions. That's PC for "cheating". He has a history of “hard charging” when he ran in the other divisions in years past, as other drivers can testify. Tom did not retaliate. He could have, but chose not too. He SHOULD have, but he chose not too.
A class move by class person.
This is why I am proud to say I am a Scott Thomas and Tom Thomas fan.
