Thanks for watching! See you at the track!
That may be the biggest smile Jesse has had while working on a car
I wish I could give this video 100 likes. I think Jesse did great for his first time. He’ll be faster once you get the car set up and dialed in, he has to remember with Dirt Daddy driving, the car wasn’t exceptionally fast. Anyhow AWESOME you all are back at the track!!!!!! Huge thank you to the whole #HTF family for allowing Jesse the opportunity to drive. There’s so many life lessons to learn from this video, trust, thoughtfulness, friendship, helpfulness, proud of the #HTF family. After all Jesse have fun, don’t get caught up in the moment and forget its all about having fun!!!!
Seems like he’s comfy in the car. Happy for y’all. If you don’t have any gloves let me know and we will send you some.
I'd say send him some anyway he should not be in a car with out them on
That's nice of you God bless you 🙏
Exactky what I was thinking. I have extras I can send
My father who passed in 2005 told me the same line you used! “Go fast! But under control!” I still tell everyone I race with the same line
His comparison of real life to iRacing was spot on imo. Some folks say it is nothing alike but they are just looking ONLY at the feel factor. Sure you can't feel the car jarring you around sitting in an office chair and the car has a lot more "force feedback" in real life (though that is adjustable), but the input side of things is where iRacing shines. From my experience behind a real car and in iRacing, a lot of the skills do transfer over. Now of course if you go spend $40k on a sim racing rig, I'd say it probably would mirror that jarring and stiffness and most everything else. Best way I put it to people on iRacing with a typical desk set up is that you just can't feel the rear end. For being in a virtual world with virtual physics and feedback, it is as close as it gets. Many local drivers to me here use it to get extra practice laps. If they were nothing alike, it would be a waste of money.
Jesse,in a high powered,late model stock car,there is an art to setting the car in the corner,turning right to go left and being able to hang on to it so you don't swap ends.Been their,done that.
I cannot tell you what a wonderful sight that was. Actually seeing a real race car on a real race track.
Best of luck to you all. May the good lord be with y’all and keep your family safe. Make them memories with the family and love everyday like there’s no tomorrow. Race on!
May just be me but the iracing has him more comfortable than I expected...he doesn’t seem scared to send it...good luck next week and stay safe 👍
this seems to be the trend with people iracing and then go racing for real. A lot of the pros say it helps them tremendously...only thing iracing is missing is the in car feel
That race after you put it in the wall for REAL.
Lot of pressure for a driver to get in a car that will and has won races and do so dang well. Glad to be a witness. Awesome job Jesse.
I know I'm just one of thousands of fans, but I'm proud of you and for you. As a huge fan of dirt track racing here in Tennessee I'm ready to be back at the track. Best of luck to all of you guys. Have fun and stay safe.
His equipment maybe second hand but his driving is first rate.🏁💪
Jesse looks good behind the wheel.
Jesse listen to "ole driver" and get you a pair of gloves
Darren Charles needs gloves 🧤
I think he did a great job, looked solid for just jumping in the car! That 604 with those big tires is no slouch, awesome job!
Jesse did great out there very consistent especially once he found his own lil groove im over all very impressed lots of respect to yall
Nice LAPS. Low on the corners.. FOCUS ON YOUR MARKS.... NICE DRIVING...PROUD OF YOUR EFFORT.IT WILL COME.
292 comments on Jesse taking a few test and tune laps. You think we are ready to go racing next weekend? Jesse did a great job. His goal next week should be make the feature bring the car home in 1 piece and not get lapped. His gets that done its been a great debut. My money's on him getting all 3 done. Jesse you got this!!!! God bless you all!
Hello from Iowa, great to see you mashin it Jesse!!
Jesse I think you done an awesome job for your first time out . You will be fast before you know it . You have two of the best teachers anyone could have . So listen to them and do what they say and you'll be up front beside them before you know it . Good job my friend
I’ve been there,a lot of pressure when everyone is just watching you,good job I miss it.
Imma try to run a sportsman this season that's one thing I'm worried about and have always worried about when trying to get comfy for a new season getting used to everyone watching you in the stands and worrying about looking stupid but he had no fear of that it seemed
Last run looked real good Jesse. I've always wanted to race but never had the chance to do it. Just live in the moment and take it lap by lap. Can't wait to see what y'all do this coming weekend. Good luck, God bless, and hammer down!!!
First of all I'd like to say that this is pretty darn Awesome of the Hunt The Front family to allow Jesse this opportunity. Through the first two practices he looked nervous and definitely gained a bit of confidence going into his 3rd session. Awesome to see y'all running again and good luck this weekend. The HTF fans will be cheering for you all.
Wow Jess, get a new gas pedal assembly ordered for that car now. You wore it more in 1 lap than most do in 20. But not to shabby Jess.
Now back to two barrels ☹️🏁
And I do love you doing the iracing 👍
I think the boy did a pretty good job 👍... Thanks for allowing him to give it a try... We both know that the view is a lot different from behind the wheel... LOL. Seat time is what's going to build his confidence.... Thanks for the video....
He loves that top side
wow for a first time at speed well done. He will be a good racer, super critical of his first day. LOTS of small things that when they come together he will be a Front Runner!
I'm impressed, especially towards the end! Really good laps!
So so glad for Jessie glad to see you get to go racing may the Lord bless all you boys and protect you👍👊✌
when a first time driver brings the car back unwrecked its a good day and he never spun out once i would say he did good
He looks good. Remind him that the rack is a lot quicker than them ol pure stock steering boxes. He’s wearing his self out on that wheel. We all did the same thing when we moved up to late models.
We thought you did great, Jesse! You'll be fine, no worries. Looking forward to watching the race here in Iowa, and we'll be rootin' for you!
Dont get outran by that old mastersbuilt at the ppv race Jonathan. Jesse looked dam good for his time in the car.
Im just saying it now, Jesse might be a contender.
Jesse drives like Ayrton Senna pumping that accelerator exiting the turn. He's looking for "traction control". It's the button on the left of nowhere Jesse.
4:42 that’s a different way to get in a car
Helluva job that was outstanding Jessie
This is great bunch of big kids playing in a sandbox can feel all the excitement
Fun to come back and to see where is journey really started
Solid run for sure! I think it’ll help jesse being around other cars and seeing how they enter the corner. But for his first time in the car he looked good!
Your getting the feel of the car, the third set of hot laps looked a lot better. It will feel a lot better when you complete the set up.
Smooth is fast...
Good luck 👍
Good job jessie, keep that head up and be coachable ! Love you boys
all I could think in my head ......“Harry, I'm droppin the hammer.”
loooooooolll i love that movie
Looked to me like Jesse was having way too much fun. You got him hooked. LOL
Jesse didn't look bad. I think we got something to work with here!! Lol
Honestly his angles and the way he was setting up the car for the straight and all around speed through the corners the 3rd session definitely take notes from.
Straightaway
Awesome video Jonathan 👍👍👍. I think Jesse done really well and he’s going to get even better. It’s great that HTF is giving him the opportunity to race. Thanks
Man there’s nothing like getting behind the wheel!!!
Y’alls debriefing talking about where to let off, how long..... man those times are fun. You can hear how excited all of you are.
Jessie you did A good job for being your frist time in A late model it's a learning process good luck Jessie 🏆🏁🏆🏁
The advice I give new guys that ask me is,my driving style is way different than most and it has worked great for me all these years,I don't worry about my set up the only thing I change occasionally is gears I just run the car and find out what part of the track it handles best and hold that line but that's just me the only track I run is bubba's so the set had stayed basically the same all these years, but my car with the 604 handles best wide open I don't let off the throttle and normally run the high side if the track is wet I start high and work low when it's dryer I start low and work up but y'all are more serious about it than me and have better equipment,just find where you feel best and practice,I enjoy y'all's videos thanks for sharing
I think you done good Jessie the car look good and I think you're do good next Saturday good luck
Boy looked good ! Better laps at the end , but he’s going to be in the hunt ! Good you guys are helping him out and letting him use your stuff , that’s what friends are made of !! Good luck and hammer down!! We are going to have to call him Stroker Ace !!
Looking good Jesse, that's a whole lotta race car to manage and you were doing a great job. Good luck this weekend!
Awesome stuff. Great to see Jesse in the car.
Jeese did a lot better than I did my first time driving in a late model. The thing he needs to take away from that test session is , no spin outs no sliding off the turns and the car gets put back on the trailer in one piece. Good debut, good for Jeese.
Good job for the first time in the car it will come to you the more you do it hunt the front family thank you for giving Jesse the opportunity that is Yi love my racing family here in Ohio
Looked alot alot better that lasy set of laps congratulations Jesse. Practice practice practice. You looked good and no tore up car. Biggest Florida Fan David Kilroy.
Great job Jesse. Sounds like you weren't too far off from the normal times. Wish you all the best next week.
Good job, first time. High in 1-2, low in 3-4. A lot of throttle & steering play. Traffic will make the difference. Just remember to run your line and not somebody else's.
Good job Jessie. Just need more laps and be smooth buddy. Excited for ya!
Congratulations Jesse!!!!!!!! Way 2 go. Can't wait to see you out there with a full field of cars.
Looks like he’s got a handle on it. Just takes seat time, take it one lap at a time.
I know after working on a dirt modified crew for a couple years i finally was given the opportunity to do hot laps & the mechanics race in the car, i was so nervous at 1st, few laps in settled down & was so blown away by the power, absolutely loved it, did everything i could to buy a car after that.
Good job Jesse, not easy running someone else's care. For the first time. While they all stand around an judge your performance. Have fun,be safe. An dont beat it up to bad. You know you'll never hear the end of it.
Jesse, it's ashame you haven't had more chances to drive a car I believe your a natural.. Good job..
It is a shame people forget in a past video he said he’s only got to drive a pure stock 3 or 4 times. I’ve seen were some say he’s arrogant thinking he’s a great driver but he’s really not just a fun loving guy who likes to joke. I mean he said if there’s 20 car I would love to finish 15th. Not very arrogant.
Looking like Harry Gant out there with no gloves! Looked good though! Didn’t take long to get comfortable
I would leave him in late model , heck with the street stocks. He looked awesome
He looked good, Go gett em Jesse. HTF is got your back They are a awesome bunch of awesome dudes!!!
Your fish in your picture looks good
Dam this was so good to see...Gee ever since I started watching HTF Jesse has always been so keen for a go in a late model and ya'll made if happen. This is just what speedway is all about ,good friends having great fun together. Working on the cars all week then racing on the weekends..... All the best next weekend HTF ......
Should have put one of the Joiners in it first to feel out the set-up. She looked tight. Great job Jessie! - I would not have wanted cameras rolling the first time I drove a modified - and thank god there wasn't. Good luck boy's - keep it up.
Ole Jesse doing the 56 proud!!
Jesse that last run not bad you got done that run Good job
Jesse, great job....! Guys good luck this week, my wife and enjoy the channel.... Stay safe and God Bless y’all from Ohio...
that 56 might as well be a whole wrap as big as it is lol!!
Jesse, you're ahead of the learning curve right now. Just be patient, make them laps, and don't wad it up: you need that car in one piece to be able to get all the seat time in race conditions you possible can. Don't worry about the results first couple of times out.
Looking good in the track! Can't wait to see the race and the Hunt The Front crew back at the track ! May God bless you all !
He said if you going to let off let off if you going to hold it wide open hold it wide open lmao.
Good to see you out there Jesse. Get this man some more wheel time and hes gonna be one to look out for. Keep up the work guys. I really look forward to your videos. Drive it like you stole it JESSE!!!!!
Jesse did great! Keep it smooth don't try to get everything at once , be patient, he will be just fine.
Nothing better then real seat time .JESSE RACE THE TRACK NOT THE OTHER CARS
Just needs seat time. I'm going to say it. Jesse's a wheel man ,for sure
Great job Jesse .you looked really good on the bottom nice consistent laps.. you'll do great.
Way to go Jesse's looking good! Good Luck!
Man I envy you folks. However, you folks act like blessed folks should. I love to see good people have good things happen to them.
Jesse got better as the day went on keep it up 😎👍
Good job Jesse glad to see y’all at the track making laps
Jessie did a great job for his first time in a late model. Little more seat time and he's going to give you some competition.
Good job Jesse! I think we all miss hearing those engines on the dirt! HTF
Great job Jesse! So happy to see cars back on the track!
Awesome job Jesse! Your doing the one thing I have been wanting to do my entire life. Keep your head up and keep throwing that dirt my man!
3/4 lap then mash the loud pedal looked tight but WEARING out the butterflies in the carb will do that too .
Hammond motorsports set up plates will have that thing running strong !
I think Jessie will make a great asset to the team all he needs Is a little seat time. But
Hey that boy still iracing lmbo. But in my opinion jesse didnt do to bad he held his own and I can see he listened and took direction. I just wanna say all you guys are awsome your friendship is amazing. Jesse gonna surprise a bunch a folks come racetime mark my words.
I'm impressed
I'm impressed brotha good run fist timer lol
Did great he’s got a bunch of great people helping him out should be fun to watch him grow
Oh Jonathan's in for a treat this year Iol give Jesse's alittle seat time and Jesse's gonna be pushing Jonathan going into turn 1
Good going Jesse, need more guidance from Coach Joiner. You will get there. Go Team Hunt the Front.
He’ll do better woth other cars to compare himself to. He does love that high line. I would have loved to see his hands when he got out of the car. I bet he was shaking like a dog crapping peach seeds. 😂 I can’t wait for the race. I think he’ll make the race. Have to add a J to the number 56. Good luck guys! Grab that win!🏁
I’m so happy for Jesse, that man has put in so much work he deserves it!
Hey Jesse, you did a great job your first time In a DLM. Listen to those Joiner brothers they won't steer you wrong.
A little bit more seat time and I think we have ourselves a wheelman...
To jump in a car that you’ve never driven and isn’t set up for you and to look that comfortable.. just wait until he’s dialed in. Watch out sportsman division
