Zac, kudos to you for giving Onyx the praise he deserved! He absolutely drove the wheels off that car even with bent steering components. He definitely should be proud as well as you. Keep it up Onyx, the luck will change and a win will come deservingly.
Watching this kid from his first race in a mod until now is amazing. That kid has many wins in his future. Great job and remember that we can only control what we do. I have been wiped out by lapped cars a few times. Keep up the great work both of you.
Damn good job of racing young man! You did everything right!!! It could’ve been A Lot Worse if hadn’t drivin the car like you did!!! You did everything right to avoid a horrible crash!!!
where else can one be 2,000 miles away and still be in the front row, loved this channel and I was clapping and wishing the final laps could have been completed. Thanks for all you do here and ALSO on the farming channel, both are #1!!!!!!!
I was OUTRAGED when it happened and now I'm angry all over again. The amount absurd behavior from B-mod drivers in Wissota has really gotten out of hand. Onyx is a helluva good driver and has great instincts and his quick reaction might've saved that Hooplehead from serious injuries. Hang in there Onyx, that W will come.
Better to do the right thing and lose than the wrong thing and win, in a nano second Onyx chose the right thing. That drive better say a thoughtful prayer for Onyx's mature and quick decision making. Keep your head up, that W is going to happen soon.
Wow that really sucks!! 😮. Onyx showed he is a really good heads up driver by avoiding hitting that idiot. The kid is gonna just as good as his dad pretty soon. 🏁
Onix did the right thing to keep from hurting everyone. Tell Onix not to be hard on himself. The other driver 23:18 was not thinking as some do and messed up young man win. You talking about this hasn't been your year. I can relate to that that used to happen to us back when we're running dirt and asphalt back in the 80s and 90s. Thanks for the video.
Hey, did that driver at least come over and offer an apology? If not, you should have walked over and told him a 14 year old kid saved him from getting seriously hurt. Kudos to Onyx!! He drove the hell out of it!!
He didn't, but in his defense, he was pitted inside the track, and we were outside, so it's not easy to cross back and forth. Crazy stuff happens. We will fix it and move on!
You should go street stock racing at the little dream race next year. It would be awesome to see someone win it from the perspective of the actual driver.
Thanks Zach for supporting the rodeo and vining fire department it’s was nice meeting you as you were getting 2 Busch lights:) thank you to onyx for the support!! On behalf of vining fire.
That’s racing I’m afraid happens to the best of racers! Unlucky onyx! You were easily going to win that race💪🏼 great drive aswell Zach! Love watching both channels 😎
Onix you are a great driver that shows a great deal of sportsmanship and your only 14 you have a great racing career ahead of you. Zach you and Becky are raising a great young man
Holy cow, Onyx has some amazing chops. Watching how hot he was diving into those corners yet maintaining absolute transition mastery into the straights out of them was like watching a master class. Zack, you done taught the boy well. To see this level of cool under pressure at his age is seriously impressive as heck to this old man. Be proud dad, you and the boy have quite a winning combo there. Cheers fromChicago, home to the former world famous Santa Fe Speedway where I watch crazy stock car racing until the day they tore it down to build million dollar mcmansions.
Wow Onyx could have been so much worse well done Young man …. You a Champ love this Racing soo much have been involved with Late Model Racing for Years 🏆
Well done Onyx on some great driving. Hang in there bud, track time is important, it will all come together and you will have a fabulous season. Thanks for sharing Zach, but I still love sprintcars 😂 All the best to you both 🙏
Onyx you did great, as a previous driving instructor for LE you did an outstanding job picking the best line trying to avoid major impact with that driver that turned down in front you. Great job!
That was a massive heartbreaker seeing the 73 get cut off. Onyx was so smooth, driving like a veteran. Zach, beautiful save on turn 3 , I thought you were going to get sucked off the track. 9:38 You were working that car!
As someone who was part of the pit crew for 6 years for a couple friends, I know exactly how you guys feel. Onyx drove the hell outta that car and should be proud of that. Like you said Zach, racing can be a humbling sport. Best thing is to never get discouraged. There is always another race. He did what he had to do. His reaction time was excellent. Unfortunate he boogered up the car, but that’s far better than how that could’ve ended. Stay safe guys.
Man, keep your head up kid. It’s racing. It happens. You did the right thing unfortunately, the other dude didn’t do the right thing and get his junk off the track sooner.
I love watching Onyx race with every video he just keeps getting better and better i for see some trophies coming his way soon.. and by the way i love Arrons shirts!!😂
Wow... the progression that Onyx has shown from the first time in the mod is amazing... from the first time running at the back at the start of the year to leading and driving out of a shitty situation is awesome He should be proud of the way he handled himself on the track, being around racing for years he definitely read that perfectly... I too wonder how people make such poor decisions in a race car not thinking of their own safety let alone everyone elses... Onyx has a very bright racing career ahead of himself!!!
Got love racing. I have one Zach Johnson shirt. I want another and a Ony shirt, but I want them signed by you guys. Thanks for taking us along. Oh and Zach you handled yourself like a champion on that deal. Racing has it high points and also has them low points. It a hard sport Especially on dirt but it one hell of a rush
ZACH Onyx’s driving ability is really improving quite rapidly this year as he gains more experience and gets more confidence in his driving ability. Very sad end to the day for him and feel badly for him. But ONYX be proud you did a very impressive performance out there I was very impressed with your driving. Keep it up you are going to be a hell of a driver by dad’s age. All the best from QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA.
What an amazing drive by Onyx, even the unfortunate crash was perfect as it could so easily have ended in tragedy for the novice driver that pulled across in front of you. Life teaches us all many things in the most unusual ways Onyx & as a Grandfather of 4 let me tell you right now when the win comes (& it will) it'll be all the sweeter because you earned it my boy, well done!
Thanks for the great racing footage tonight. Onyx you were awesome out there tonight. You were doing great. So sorry that other driver came across the track to wipe you out. Unfortunate situation. What makes me upset no apology from the other driver. The proper thing to do is offer an apology. Been there done that and never got an apology. Not the best of driver there. Give her a good go next week onyx. Hang in there buddy. You are doing great. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊👍✅🇺🇸🇺🇸
I watched the incident several times including his pass one lap prior. That guy cut right through his racing line and at speed if Onyx hadn't made that great move to avoid it would have been bad. Onyx you did a heroic job of saving yourself and that other driver. If you watch where the video pauses, Onyx's right tire is already turned to avoid. Well done Onyx, well done indeed.
Great job Onyx, you drove a great race, someone should have had a little conversation with that crew and driver. Dad you did well on your handling the stituation. Enjoyed your videos
VERY commendable bit of driving by the young man. As stated in the video, if Onix had have driller the other driver it would have been so much worse. The other drivers crew member, the one who call him in, needs to shown that it was not the call to make. The driver, with limited vision, just did what the crew member said and probably thought it was safe to cross. As a Dad of a racer, I feel your pain.
What you have are people who do whatever they please. They don’t care about anyone else but themselves. You are exactly correct! They should have stayed high and not cut down on him. I’m sure they were shown the blue, you are being lapped flag. Heeding the flags and doing what is right is part of life and auto racing.
Man that’s a tough one to take. Tractor pulling is frustrating enough, but you only have yourself to be mad at. Don’t have to deal with other people mistakes that ruin your day and make you break a bunch of stuff!
Onyx you drove that car perfect all night. Great job. Jus terrible luck. Drive with confidence, jus like you were in this video. Was lmaof when you made your first lap in heat watching you and the car maneuver wherever, and your dad said "it's gonna be loose but I didn't tell him that" lol Great job Onyx.
Zach has said before in videos that onyx is more comfortable with a loose car. I was irritated with the 6 chopping zach in the first heat, I guess that's dirt track racing. Zach even gave him a bumper a couple times 😂
Onyx bud, here's hoping you don't feel too bad about this situation. Your dad is right, nothing you could of done except for exactly what you did, and I'd argue in that tight of a situation, you did the best anyone could of. You avoided a major catastrophic accident. Be proud, not all race car drivers would of had the reaction speed to avoid that crash. Here's wishing you and your family the best!
Onyx, you made the right call. If you had not reacted the way you did, there for sure could have been serious injuries for the other driver. Cars can be fixed/replaced, people cant. You have a smart head on your shoulders, and obviously know when to wreck the car to avoid injuries, Keep it up and you will be doing better than your dad in no time. I cant wait to see both of you in the same race, a father son duel on dirt is some of the best racing there is.
Great Job Onix ! The thing that catch's my eye is at your young age , you have a LOT of natural talent and that will take you a long ways ! I never drove , but worked on a USAC Midget team for 8 years and owned a TQ , which we won the Drivers Championship , If I was still a car owner , I would be giving you a call to drive my open wheel car ! btw , in racing , there will always be dumbchit that happens like what happened to you , keep the chin up , you did right and good luck
Hell of a race and not only did onyx drive like a winner he handled it like a winner. It seems some tracks in the Midwest are more famous for the pit brawls than the actual racing
Onyx, you did the only thing you could to not T-bone that knuckle head, Keep doing an awsome job I think for 14yrs old you drive like you been doing as long as your dad! With that said just watching your dad before you ever drove a kart or car you knew more than most just by watching an hearing the motors,ect.... Zack you are mellow for know the cost a damage, hat off to ya the being a good father! I NEVER MISS A RACE EPISODE!!
What a heart breaker, but he will get there again, glad no one got hurt, because that's some stuff that you can't just forget if someone loses their life. Good driving Onyx. G-d bless.
Onix, you did the right thing bud. Never doubt yourself .
Cars can be replaced, human life really can't.
Proud Dad chills. You gotta be so proud of that boy! I know I am. You are giving him such awesome opportunities. What a great Dad!
I agree with you 100%. Onyx is a great driver as is Zach, plus he is a great Dad!!!
Very quick and smart thinking on Onyxs part with unfortunate consequences.
Agreed. Excellent reactions. Unfortunately, that's the move he had to make.
I agree it’s a split mill-second decision and he definitely took the better approach for sure
Zac, kudos to you for giving Onyx the praise he deserved! He absolutely drove the wheels off that car even with bent steering components. He definitely should be proud as well as you. Keep it up Onyx, the luck will change and a win will come deservingly.
Sure shows the upbringing of this young fella and he’s learning his craft fantastically 👍 great job onyx and crew thanks Zac and team great video
From one dad to another, you must be so proud.
Extremely 😊
love watching a middle schooler show these grown men the way!
Heartbreaker. Onyx did the best he could with the cards dealt. Glad he's ok. With how fast he was and how well he's doing, he'll get that win.
Onyx! You are killing it out there! Keep it up!
Onyx was FAST guy behind was tryin everything to try to catch him - getter fixed, keep your chin up keep diggin the win will come
Kid's got skills. Onyx hit the apex in almost the same place every time. You'll nail it next time.
Man,what a bone headed move. Great run by Onyx wiped out due to another driver oblivious of his surroundings. Just a shame! Go get em next time Onyx.
I'm not crying your crying.... great Dad moment Zack. Fantastic run Onyx you will get it next time bud.
Watching this kid from his first race in a mod until now is amazing. That kid has many wins in his future. Great job and remember that we can only control what we do. I have been wiped out by lapped cars a few times. Keep up the great work both of you.
That was some tough luck, but, holy cow Onyx, that was some awesome driving!! You gotta be proud of him Zach!!
Onyx handled that situation with calmness and maturity way beyond the average 14 year old.Kudos to you Onyx!!!
Damn good job of racing young man! You did everything right!!! It could’ve been A Lot Worse if hadn’t drivin the car like you did!!! You did everything right to avoid a horrible crash!!!
Great racing Onyx. Get em next time bud.
where else can one be 2,000 miles away and still be in the front row, loved this channel and I was clapping and wishing the final laps could have been completed. Thanks for all you do here and ALSO on the farming channel, both are #1!!!!!!!
Terrible luck……but a demonstration of incredible ability and skill! You should be so proud! He has a future!
I was OUTRAGED when it happened and now I'm angry all over again. The amount absurd behavior from B-mod drivers in Wissota has really gotten out of hand. Onyx is a helluva good driver and has great instincts and his quick reaction might've saved that Hooplehead from serious injuries. Hang in there Onyx, that W will come.
I've had some emotional losses over the last 25 years, this one is way up there on the list!
That was going to be a good race between him & Derek. Absolutely everyone around me was so p!$$ed when this happened
Some are against starting them early but onyx is good example it’s the right thing to do he’s a good operator with any thing you put him in
Better to do the right thing and lose than the wrong thing and win, in a nano second Onyx chose the right thing. That drive better say a thoughtful prayer for Onyx's mature and quick decision making. Keep your head up, that W is going to happen soon.
Wow that really sucks!! 😮. Onyx showed he is a really good heads up driver by avoiding hitting that idiot. The kid is gonna just as good as his dad pretty soon. 🏁
Hopefully better!

Tough deal there Onyx , but you did great till the dumbass turned in front of ya !! Get em next time 🏁
Hey, did that driver at least come over and offer an apology? If not, you should have walked over and told him a 14 year old kid saved him from getting seriously hurt. Kudos to Onyx!! He drove the hell out of it!!
That nitwit should be banned for that idiotic maneuver.
He didn't, but in his defense, he was pitted inside the track, and we were outside, so it's not easy to cross back and forth. Crazy stuff happens. We will fix it and move on!
I admire your attitude, just watching made me feel like really losing my cool. Better luck next time. Cudos to Onyx@@betweentherows
You should go street stock racing at the little dream race next year. It would be awesome to see someone win it from the perspective of the actual driver.
@@HunterPeterson-q8tthat is agreed
Look out nascar here comes Onyx! He sure can drive.! Fun watching father and son race together love it. Hoping to get my son into racing.
You can be very proud of Onyx. He's growing up fast. Lots of work ahead
Thanks Zach for supporting the rodeo and vining fire department it’s was nice meeting you as you were getting 2 Busch lights:) thank you to onyx for the support!! On behalf of vining fire.
We've supported that show since year 1. Ottos are good friends of ours. Very cool show!!!
That’s racing I’m afraid happens to the best of racers! Unlucky onyx! You were easily going to win that race💪🏼 great drive aswell Zach! Love watching both channels 😎
Damn it. Onyx had a rocket ship of a car. Heck of run Onyx. God Bless y'all
Racing with the squirrels. Every track has got them.
I like Dad and Son interactions, both listen and learn from each other. Good luck on the next one, to both of you.
Onix you are a great driver that shows a great deal of sportsmanship and your only 14 you have a great racing career ahead of you. Zach you and Becky are raising a great young man

It really shows how well onyx has learned from you if its farming or raceing or just being a man good on both of you
Man, keep your head up kid. It’s racing. It happens. You did the right thing unfortunately, the other dude didn’t do the right thing and get his junk off the track sooner.
Dang ! That was painful to see that happen when Onyx was doing so great , things like that will make winning all the better !
Keep digging Onyx. Your win is coming. The kid is coming along quick!
I love watching Onyx race with every video he just keeps getting better and better i for see some trophies coming his way soon.. and by the way i love Arrons shirts!!😂
The t-shirts are the best!!
Great racing Onyx & super parenting Dad ❤

It is fun to see your interaction with your dad and Onyx is interaction with you and you with him!!
I freakin love Aarons shirts!!!
Man, that is such bad luck caused by a reckless driver. Onyx is a savage out there, good on you Zack for giving him the pep talk.
You should be really proud! Onyx did a fantastic job and probably saved himself and the other guy from some serious injury!
Got love racing. I have one Zach Johnson shirt. I want another and a Ony shirt, but I want them signed by you guys. Thanks for taking us along.

Nice to see a more family friendly T shirt. Onyx you did everything right, that other driver was not paying attention.
Good run Onyx. Nothing much you could do there. You did a great job avoiding more damage!
Fun watching you guys race Zach just maybe you could come to South Dakota state fair speedway in Huron. We’d love it
Thanks for the great racing footage tonight.
Onyx you were awesome out there tonight. You were doing great. So sorry that other driver came across the track to wipe you out.
Unfortunate situation.
What makes me upset no apology from the other driver. The proper thing to do is offer an apology.
Been there done that and never got an apology. Not the best of driver there.
Give her a good go next week onyx. Hang in there buddy. You are doing great.
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
😊👍✅🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are a SUPER dad for giving Onyx the shoulder hug and encouragement, I think, he needed after that A-hole tripped him up.
The shirts are awesome. Keep wearing them. People just need to lighten up
Great job Onyx. You showed maturity beyond your years. I’m sure dad was proud of how you handled yourself.
👍
Car? ... Dialed ! ... Driver? .... Outstanding! ... Crew? ...... Top'OthLine! Keep on Rocking in the Farm World !
Great race! Great content, I watch and enjoy both your channels.
One hell is a race Onix, super proud Dad for sure
I watched the incident several times including his pass one lap prior. That guy cut right through his racing line and at speed if Onyx hadn't made that great move to avoid it would have been bad. Onyx you did a heroic job of saving yourself and that other driver. If you watch where the video pauses, Onyx's right tire is already turned to avoid. Well done Onyx, well done indeed.
thatz what dads are for....you where there for Onyx....the leader showed great skill...go Onyx go
Great job Onyx, you drove a great race, someone should have had a little conversation with that crew and driver. Dad you did well on your handling the stituation. Enjoyed your videos

Now that is a J bar if i've ever seen one lol Amazing run Onyx. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to the live Videos. Thanks Guys and crew.
What you have are people who do whatever they please. They don’t care about anyone else but themselves. You are exactly correct! They should have stayed high and not cut down on him.

You were on a heck of a rip very impressive and you made the only smart move you could. Keep er up you look like a future dominator!
Onix, you did the right thing , Some people just don't think and accidents happen ,main thing is that no injury happened .
Dang Onyx was fast. You did a Great job Onyx a win is coming for you
Onix great driving buddy you definitely earned a new subscriber can’t wait for the onix shirts to come out
Tell Onix to keep his head up he doing great and a awesome job like watching his racing and yours too Man
Onyx you drove that car perfect all night. Great job. Jus terrible luck. Drive with confidence, jus like you were in this video.

LOVE the shirts!! Especially Onyx's a few weeks ago!!
Onyx is a very good driver. I am blown away by the love and support he gets and deserves. Love the videos. Okay bye.
That is really scary. So happy that he is ok.
Onyx good run buddy it’s not your fault… your smooth and running consistent laps the win is coming and there will be a lot of them
You did the right thing young man. Keep your head up.
You did everything right Onyx! You should be proud of yourself for being the adult in that situation!
I grew up in Monte ! Glad to see my hometown on your channel 👍🏻
OMG so gutted for Onyx!! I could see the frustration in his face 😢
Humbling... Wow onxy was so smooth to boot. He is going to win one soon.
Onyx, you made the right call. If you had not reacted the way you did, there for sure could have been serious injuries for the other driver. Cars can be fixed/replaced, people cant. You have a smart head on your shoulders, and obviously know when to wreck the car to avoid injuries, Keep it up and you will be doing better than your dad in no time. I cant wait to see both of you in the same race, a father son duel on dirt is some of the best racing there is.
Great Job Onix ! The thing that catch's my eye is at your young age , you have a LOT of natural talent and that will take you a long ways ! I never drove , but worked on a USAC Midget team for 8 years and owned a TQ , which we won the Drivers Championship , If I was still a car owner , I would be giving you a call to drive my open wheel car ! btw , in racing , there will always be dumbchit that happens like what happened to you , keep the chin up , you did right and good luck
Love the shirts!
I'm just glad Onyx is okay that was a hard hit for him I know you have the car fixed in no time
That boy can drive and he’s got a good head on his shoulders!!
Hell of a race and not only did onyx drive like a winner he handled it like a winner. It seems some tracks in the Midwest are more famous for the pit brawls than the actual racing
We’re all very proud of you Onyx. Kindest regards 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Lap cars suck it happens to us all keep up the great work youve come so far in such a short time keep up the great work onyx
Just subscribed. Been on your farming channel for a while. Great video.
Onyx, you did the only thing you could to not T-bone that knuckle head, Keep doing an awsome job I think for 14yrs old you drive like you been doing as long as your dad! With that said just watching your dad before you ever drove a kart or car you knew more than most just by watching an hearing the motors,ect.... Zack you are mellow for know the cost a damage, hat off to ya the being a good father! I NEVER MISS A RACE EPISODE!!
What a heart breaker, but he will get there again, glad no one got hurt, because that's some stuff that you can't just forget if someone loses their life. Good driving Onyx. G-d bless.
