After Jett Lawrence's apology on social media, in regards to the incident with Jason Anderson on Saturday night, most thought that was probably the end. Swept under the rug, all good, right? Not quite in this instance. Jason Anderson has responded today and not really on the incident itself, but more on the aftermath, how it was handled, and his outlook on things now.

Jason Anderson - "Okay so first things first, my man Jett comes at me after he passes me and beat me. Barks in my face. I bark back. After the race you have his dad, honda guy came up and apologize. You have his agent call saying sorry saying he will put a post on Jetts page saying sorry. Employees txts me sorry. I didn't take it personal like a shit happens deal. Like we are cool and it didn't happen. Not a word from Jett himself. Instead unfollow and silence from the dude everyone is apologizing for. We live in a day where kids throw a fit and stand behind everyone for the media clean up crew. Guys don't keep it real or take responsibility for themselves. I'll take full credit that I'm a dickhead often but you bet your ass I'll consistently be a dick head to you if I feel that way about you. The King won 72 races and kept it 100% real till this day. Jett will be amazing but he will never be The King. 71 to go."

Bummer he edited and took the last part out of the post. That was the best part! His agent/sponsors probably had him tone it back a smidge.. LOL.

Incident was 2 dudes pissed after trying to pass on a slot car track.  Only way to pass was to get in a line and let it take you to the next one. Jett got in that rut thinking Anderson would go straight/wide but the rut pulls you into the middle.  Anderson left the ground over a double getting side swiped & has a little kid now.
He took that move as deadly and wanted to make a point that you can't risk a daddy's life when he wants to get home to his kid.

It literally is how you start thinking as a dad when you're obsessed with caring for your kid.  So he decided to swing his whale tail and punish the kid.  Perfectly acceptable. Jett got pissed thinking "old dude slowing me down cause he's jealous".

Where it all when wrong is when El Hombre turns his head away to leave & Jett grabs his helmet pulling #21's head around.  Yeah...I'd lose my shlt too.  Jett waving "ninny dismissal" hands at the back of his head sealed it.  

He's gonna be a bad ass eventually.  But the dudes around him will have a LOT to say about it.  He won all those 450 MX  races against #21, #94, #14, #1 & #2 coming in with major injuries & #3 absentee.  They're all starting SX healthy & we get to see this stuff on dry tracks soon.

I saw the footage and Jett took the inside but came out of his line.  Anderson swung wide and had his wheel turned in but gassed it straight in his rut so it was just a matter of Jett not being able to take the line away that almost caused them to collide.  It was a rear view footage so you could see the ruts and Jett come out.  Anderson didn’t really dive inside even if his front wheel looked that way when he was exiting the turn and that’s why they didn’t crash since Jett checked up. Then Anderson cut across to the middle of the track after back-siding the jump and coming up short taking away Jett’s line that may have set the fireworks before Jett made the block pass.

They both got an undisclosed fine by the AMA.  Anderson could have just slapped off Jett and rode away but he technically face grabbed back so even though it was defense the AMA doesn’t want anyone doing that.  J-Bone is the rider advocate last I heard so they may have given a lighter fine to Anderson and fined both just to discourage it from happening again.

Been saying for months that Jason would be the guy to Welcome Jett to the cheap seats.  I’m so good Vital should hire me.

He isn't the only one on the banned list.  Buttery Films said he got dropped from the friend zone. Laughing

If you’re going to do social media, this is how you do it. No BS, no patronizing or pandering. Just a dude being as straight up as he can.

Isn't there some bible verse that is long the lines of ' he without sin....' 

Think they are both bitching and looking like idiots.

Interesting. Sounds like the... "I let my emotions get the best of me", and... "I'll learn from this and pay your fine" narrative was actually all Honda-HRC damage control jumping into action. I hate that. I really want to like Jett but he keeps making it harder and harder.

Now that I read your quotes it doesn’t sound like the way Jett would talk.  

Instead of “letting my emotions get the best of me” he likes to say in simpler terms how he can “be an idiot”.  

And “I will learn from this and pay a fine” sounds like an easy way for Team Honda to quickly and easily resolve things.

Jason makes valid points. Jettson has to find his own voice after the races, if he's going to have one during them.

Yeah Jason Thomas thought Anderson was holding up lines and not letting Jett pass when Jett thought he was faster but if Jett wants to earn the spot he’s gotta have to find a way around and not expect anyone to pull over for him…even the lappers like Tomac and Sexton weren’t letting people around lmao but it may have been unsafe to take bad lines and fall in the mud.

if Jett-son is acting like a “son” and having his parents speak for him to weasel out of trouble that’s not very honorable and am not sure how long that’s gonna last to stunt his growth.  

In his defense as Anderson points out kids these days just don’t know how to deal with their own mistakes especially with Jett being the youngest who often get away with more or at least try to.  

Maybe Jett read the ESPN article claiming him to be the “Justin Bieber of Motocross” and he wants to not be thought of like him and a fight is a good old way to look a little tougher.

Anderson can take a hit and drop it like a good racer to bounce back and get em next week whoever the competition is.
